If you watch any television channel associated with NBC, you know that the Olympics are being held in Paris this summer.  NBC has been advertising this fact since the last Summer Olympics!  At the Olympics, if you’re a Pole Vaulter or High Jumper who wants to win the Gold Medal, then you need to keep “Raising the Bar.”  You must jump higher or vault higher than anyone else in the competition if you want to bring home the Gold.

Multiple studies through the years have demonstrated that people who claim to follow Jesus look a lot like people who don’t.  In chapters five through seven of the first book of the New Testament, the gospel of Matthew, we have a solid core of Jesus’ teaching known as the “Sermon on the Mount.”  In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges each of us who follow him to keep Raising the Bar in how we act towards God and others.

Join us this summer as we learn what it means to “raise the bar” as we follow Jesus,   Tim
