Summer on the Mount Bonus Episode: Moving into Matthew 6

As we transition from Matthew 5 to Matthew 6 in our Summer on the Mount series, Pastor Casey offers a special bonus episode to help us pause, reflect, and prepare. In this short teaching update, Casey recaps the heart of Jesus' upside-down kingdom in Matthew 5—where blessing looks like weakness, influence comes through obscurity, and righteousness begins with grace.But the journey doesn’t stop there. Matthew 6 invites us deeper, into the quiet places of kingdom life—the unseen practices of giving, praying, and fasting that cultivate intimacy with the Father. In this episode, we explore how Jesus moves from public witness to private devotion, from performance to presence, and from external appearances to wholehearted love.Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or are just exploring what His kingdom is all about, this reflection will help you engage Matthew 6 with fresh eyes and a receptive heart.Lean in with us as we seek not just to hear Jesus’ words, but to be shaped by them.
