In Visalia As It is in Heaven

As we wrap up our Unfinished series, we look to the future and reflect on Jesus' dream for our city. Check out Sunday’s message above, then, continue the conversation with the reading plan and resources below.

We suggest reading through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount this week. It is the largest collection of Jesus’ primary teachings and the definitive summary of the Christian ethic. It’s found in Matthew 5-7 and will only take about twenty minutes to read. Here’s a sample Reading Plan you may want to consider following this week:

Monday: Matthew 5:1-12

Tuesday: Matthew 5:13-6:4

Wednesday: Matthew 6:5-15

Thursday: Matthew 6:16-34

Friday: Matthew 7:1-14

Saturday: Matthew 7:15-29

Check out the resources used in this week’s teaching, as well as books you can explore if you’d like to dive deeper into our conversation.
