Final Week Reflection: What Did God Build in You?
As we wrap up our journey through Living the Sermon on the Mount, take a few moments to look back before rushing forward.
Over the past weeks, we’ve practiced:
Intentional obedience
Honest self-examination
Forming a simple rule of life
Becoming hearers and doers
Now reflect:
What practice impacted you most?
Where did you experience resistance?
What will you carry forward into the next 30 days?
How has your foundation shifted?
Storms will come. They always do.
But foundations are formed long before they arrive.
If you’re willing, we’d love to hear from you:
What has God been teaching you?
What has been challenging?
What fruit have you seen?
Drop a comment or send a message. Your reflection may encourage someone else.
Let’s not just admire Jesus’ words — let’s build on them.
Grateful to walk this journey together.

Today we begin our fifth weekly practice as we continue re-entering the Sermon on the Mount together.
This week, Jesus speaks about judgment, humility, prayerful dependence, and choosing the narrow way—even when it’s not the easiest path. He invites us to look honestly at ourselves, trust God more deeply, and treat others with the grace we long to receive.
So this week, we’re inviting you to choose one small practice that helps you live this teaching between Sundays.
👉 Choose one practice for the week:
1️⃣ Judgment Fast
When you notice yourself judging someone, pause and pray for them instead. Ask, “What might I not understand?”
2️⃣ Plank Before Speck
Notice one habit or attitude you often criticize in others. Each day, reflect on where that same struggle might live in you.
3️⃣ Persistent Asking
Bring one specific request to God every day this week. Keep asking—not to control the outcome, but to grow in trust.
4️⃣ Narrow Way Choice
Make one intentional decision this week that aligns with Jesus’ teaching—even if it’s inconvenient or unnoticed.
You don’t need to do all of these.
You don’t need to do them perfectly.
Just choose one—and notice what God reveals.
We’ll walk through the week together.

Midweek pause.
This week’s practice invites us to notice what we treasure, what we worry about, and who we trust when life feels uncertain.
If you’ve felt anxious, distracted, or pulled in competing directions, you’re not failing—Jesus is simply naming what’s already there.
Take a moment today to stop and ask:
What am I trusting to carry me right now?
If you’ve missed a day, begin again.
If the practice feels small, trust that it’s enough.
Our Father knows what we need before we ask.
Keep walking. You’re not doing this alone.

Today we begin our fourth weekly practice as we continue re-entering the Sermon on the Mount together.
This week, Jesus turns our attention to what we treasure, what we worry about, and who we trust. He invites us into a life that is less anxious, less divided, and more deeply rooted in the care of our Father.
So this week, we’re inviting you to choose one small practice that helps you live this teaching between Sundays.
👉 Choose one practice for the week:
1️⃣ Single Treasure
Each day, ask: What captured my attention or affection the most today?
End by praying, “God, help me treasure what You treasure.”
2️⃣ Worry Interruption
When worry surfaces, pause and name it out loud.
Then pray: “Father, You already know what I need.”
3️⃣ Provision Gratitude
Once a day, thank God for something specific He has already provided—small or large.
4️⃣ Kingdom First Moment
Make one intentional decision this week that prioritizes God’s kingdom over comfort, convenience, or control.
You don’t need to do all of these.
You don’t need to do them perfectly.
Just choose one—and notice what God reveals.
We’ll walk through the week together.
