The Upside-down Kingdom: Salt & Light - Matthew 5:13-16

Speaker: Caleb Mann

Jude - Remembering Building Showing Mercy

Perseverance in the Christian life comes through remembering God's truth, intentionally growing in faith, and extending Christ's mercy to others. While false teaching seeks to divide and deceive, God preserves His people as they remain anchored in His Word, strengthened in Christian community, and faithful to His mission until Christ returns.

God's Blueprint: Genesis 2:1-3

Speaker: Bruce Martin - God didn’t rest because He was tired, He rested because His work was finished. And He invites us into that same rest. In a nonstop, hurried world, true rest isn’t escape or comfort, it’s the presence of God. Through Jesus, we can stop striving and finally breathe. Are you slowing down enough to actually rest in Him?

The Upside-down Kingdom: The Blessed Life II - Matthew 5:7-12

Speaker: Chino Jimenez - The sermon teaches that God’s Kingdom is upside down compared to the world’s values. Jesus calls His followers to: Show mercy and forgive others. Have pure hearts and allow God to transform us. Be peacemakers and bring reconciliation. Remain faithful even when following Jesus comes with a cost.

The Gospel: Why do we share the gospel?

Speaker: Caleb Mann - This message from the book of Epistle of Jude reminds believers to stay grounded in truth and remain strong in their faith. It emphasizes that spiritual drift often begins with small compromises and encourages growing in faith, staying rooted in Scripture, and showing mercy to others while trusting in God’s faithfulness.

Jude: The Contradiction of Ungodliness

God has consistently judged rebellion throughout history. False teachers are dangerous and should not be followed. False voices continue to fight for our attention today. However, the call is not to become experts on false teaching or hunt down those who spread a false message, but to stand firm by becoming more deeply rooted in Jesus and the gospel.

Entrusted: Treasure

Speaker: Tom Norton - Tom Norton walks us through what it looks like to surrender what we have to God. What are you holding onto today?

The Gospel: Sharing the Gospel

Speaker: Jon Nelson - This message from the book of Epistle of Jude encourages believers to stay firm in their faith in a world where truth is often distorted. It highlights how small compromises can lead to spiritual drift and reminds us that false teaching is often subtle, not obvious. The focus is on remembering God’s truth, growing intentionally in faith, and showing mercy to others, all while trusting that God is the one who ultimately keeps us secure.
