from Everyday Church Sunday Messages · host Everyday Church

Despite the human propensity for conflict, we can easily see war as something that happens to other people in other places—certainly not here on the Central Coast of California. So why do often end the day feeling battered and bruised, if not in body then in spirit? Why is it such a struggle to follow Jesus? The answer of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6 is that we are actually in a war, we just don't realize it most of the time. It's not a war against flesh and blood, that doesn't make it any less real.Gospel of MatthewTo respond to Jesus’ invitation to follow him means to become his apprentices in life — learning from both his teachings and his lifestyle as we reorder our lives around being with him, becoming like him, and doing as he did. One of the key ways we do this is to immerse ourselves in the Gospels, the accounts of Jesus’ life written by his earliest apprentices. It’s an essential part of living life to the full as followers of Jesus the King. join us as we journey through the Gospel of Matthew together.
