Sermon on the Mount 9 - Eye for Eye & Servanthood | Sunday Service 2/2/25

Feb 02 2025 39 mins  
Just like with the Pharisees, it’s important to understand what Jesus is and is not saying as He interprets the law of retribution. It is wrong to think that Jesus means that evil is never to be resisted, He has demonstrated by His life a discernment in accepting insults and also in overturning tables. For most of us it is easy to stand for our rights and seek retribution when wr

Sermon on the Mount 8 - Transparent Honesty | Sermon 1/26/25

Jan 26 2025 34 mins  
In Leviticus 19:11-12 the nation of Israel was instructed; *"You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. And you shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the LORD"* In our Matthew passage, Jesus expands our understanding on what it means to be trustworthy in our speech and our actions. Ultimately our ability to behave honest

Sermon on the Mount 7 - Adultery & Divorce | Sermon 1/19/25

Jan 19 2025 40 mins  
In this portion of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus deepens our understanding of the law against adultery. He contrasts what has been heard against what is the truth and the application of that truth. Jesus is drawing us back to the intent of the law instead of allowing it to be used as easy permission for sin. Make no mistake, Jesus' words are hard to hear and for many of us reveal s

Sermon on the Mount 6 - Murder | Sermon 1/12/25

Jan 12 2025 41 mins  
This week's passage continues Jesus' long discussion where he explains many points of the law which reveal our need for His righteousness. He deepens our understanding of God's commandments revealing how much we fall short. Thankfully we have a Great Savior for our need through the righteousness Jesus offers us through His life, death and resurrection.**Prepare for this week's mess

Sermon on the Mount 5 - Fulfillment of the Law | Sermon 11/24/24

Nov 24 2024 46 mins  
Some people think that Jesus came to destroy the law given to Moses in the Old Testament. The Pharisees often accused Jesus of breaking the law, especially God’s commands regarding the Sabbath. Jesus was perfect, He did not come to dismiss the law, but to fulfill and free it from the Scribes and Pharisee’s wrong understanding of it. Charles Spurgeon puts it this way; “To show

Sermon on the Mount 4 - Salt & Light | Sermon 11/17/24

Nov 17 2024 47 mins  
These words of Jesus are a great commendation and also a weighty responsibility. Jesus didn’t say we are becoming salt and light, He says His followers are salt and light. This is a part of our identity. The challenge is to live into that Identity so that God is glorified and others come to know Him. It can be scary and uncomfortable to shine light into darkness, or to have a “

Sermon on the Mount 3 - Beatitudes 7-9 | Sermon 11/10/24

Nov 10 2024 56 mins  
When we make and maintain peace we reflect the character of God, who pursued ultimate peace with us by sending Jesus to pay the price for our sin. When our association with and reflection of Christ’s character is shown to the world, it will either bring about worship and thanksgiving to God or repulsion and rejection of God. There really is no middle ground. In this world we will

Sermon on the Mount 2 - Beatitudes 4-6 | Sunday Service 11/03/24

Nov 03 2024 39 mins  
In our world and in our own hearts we often hunger and thirst for power, pleasure, and peace. In our quest for earthly happiness, we are left empty and unsatisfied. As we learned last week, we have things all backwards, the values of God’s Kingdom are not the values of this world. A hunger and thirst for right standing with God will be satisfied – in Jesus – and will give us

Sermon on the Mount 1 - Introduction & Beatitudes 1-3 | Sermon 10/27/24

Oct 27 2024 44 mins  
The gospel of Matthew presents Jesus to us as King and shows us the Kingdom of God, which as we learned in our Identity study, is our life’s priority. As believers in Christ, we are citizens of this Kingdom, with Jesus as our King, and His glory as our aim. While great speeches such as; “Four score and seven years ago….” or “I have a dream…” are inspirational and wort

Pursuing a Worthy King 5 - Equipped | Sunday Service 10:30am

Dec 29 2024 48 mins  
Christ has been born, Mary and Joseph have found a home and settled in to Bethlehem while the census is taken. Magi, Gentile kings from the east, visit them and bow in worship to the King of the Jews, presenting gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
