What God Really Wants
Walk Like Jesus - Pt 6 - Religion that is pleasing to God requires more than doctrinal correctness and ritualistic piety. Wouldn’t you want to know if our Sunday morning offering was offensive in His eyes? In this section, Jesus tells us what God actually wants from us in our worship. He does it mostly by telling us what NOT to do.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
