As we celebrate 30 years of the Ottawa Church of Christ, we remember that the mission Jesus began is still ours today—to proclaim the good news, serve with compassion, and make disciples of all nations.
Jesus is the greatest Teacher, and His Sermon on the Mount lays the foundation for true discipleship. The Beatitudes remind us that God blesses the poor, the mourning, the meek, and even the persecuted. He calls us not only to outward obedience but to inward transformation.
The opening chapters of Matthew remind us that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises to Abraham and David. His genealogy shows God’s faithfulness, His life reflects obedience where Israel failed, and His ministry calls us to let go of the old and embrace the new life He offers.
As we begin our new series “Jesus and the People,” we are reminded that Jesus is the perfect image of the invisible God. Through His life, love, and sacrifice, He shows us what it means to live in God’s image. Each week, we’ll discover how looking to Jesus transforms our lives and calls us to reflect Him in the world.
