Sermon Notes | Living the Sermon on the Mount: Righteousness, Relationships, and Life in God’s Kingdom
What does it really mean to live the Sermon on the Mount? In this episode of the Sermon Notes Podcast, Jay Strother and Brian Ball unpack Matthew 5 and explore the true heart of kingdom living—where righteousness flows from the inside out, not external rule-following. From anger and lust to divorce and loving your enemies, this episode challenges cultural norms and reveals how Jesus redefines obedience, relationships, and the radical nature of life in God’s kingdom.
Steeple People | Trusting God with Everything: Sarah Cooley on Generosity, Faith, and Financial Surrender
In this episode of Steeple People, a couple shares their powerful story of raising a son with special needs—and how a church’s special needs ministry became a lifeline of support, belonging, and hope. From joy-filled moments to hard-won lessons in faith, their story offers an honest look at what it means to trust God through a lifetime of caregiving. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of grace, community, and the kind of worship that comes from daily sacrifice.
