10.8.23 Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:19-34)

This week Kevin teaches us that our gaze and focus have a tremendous impact on what we truly treasure and where our hope is truly found. In Matthew 6:19-34 we will see how our focus reveals our true treasure and hope by looking at... our everlasting treasure our unshakable peace our ultimate hope and treasure

10.1.23 Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:1-18)

In Matthew 6-18, we continue our series on The Sermon on the Mount and see that following God is not performative through these main points. Because God is our provider, we give to the needy to point to Him and trust in His provision. Because God is relational, we pray because it is the way to relate to God. Because God is our sustainer, we fast to depend on Him and cultivate our hunger for Him.

9.24.23 Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:31-48)

This week Kevin teaches us that the goal of the Christian life and the goal of the law was never intended for us to get as close to sinning as possible, but the intent of the law was and is to point people to righteousness. Matthew 5:31-48 shows us the intent of the law through 4 relevant issues of today. 1. The intent of marriage is to be a permanent bond 2. The intent of our words should reflect the truth ,3. The intent of responding to wrongs is by responding with love 4. The intent of love is impartial to enemies and neighbors

9.17.23 Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:21-30)

What would you say if someone asked you, "Are you a good person?". Kevin teaches us this week that sin's root is our internal character, not our external conduct. We see in Matthew 5:13-20 that the root of murder of contempt, the root of adultery is lust, and the root of a Holy Life is Jesus. Since our hearts reveal our wickedness, we must rely on the Holy Spirit to give us a new heart so that we might actually live a holy life.

9.10.23 Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:13-20)

This week Mike Beckham teaches us the importance of being the salt and the light in our broken world.

9.3.23 Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-12)

In the first week of our new series, "Sermon on the Mount", Cole teaches us that the beatitudes are the foundation for the Sermon on the Mount. We learn through Matthew 5:3-12 that humility is a requirement for the followers of Christ(vs. 3-6), that it isn't about what we do but who we are(vs. 7-9), and that followers of Christ can and should rejoice in suffering(vs. 10-12).

8.27.23 Park Your Car (Romans 12)

As the school year begins, Kevin teaches on the importance of committing to a body of believers. In Romans 12, we are encouraged and commanded to use our God-given gifts to build up the Church and believe that God desires for you to use these gifts not to be served, but to serve!

7.30.23 "I AM" the True Vine (John 15)

As we study the last of Jesus' "I AM" statements in the Gospel of John, we see that Jesus is the source of abundant life. In John 15, we learn that the source of spiritual fruit is Jesus and that spiritual fruit is abundant in Jesus.

7.23.23 "I AM" the Way the Truth and the Life (John 14)

This week we continue learning about the divinity of Christ in the sixth "I AM" statement in the Gospel of John. Through the encouraging words of John 14, we learn that Jesus is the WAY to heaven, Jesus is the TRUE essence of God, and Jesus promises LIFE-changing ministry.

7.16.23 "I AM" the Resurrection and the Life (John 11)

As we study the fifth "I AM" statement in the Gospel of John, we see Jesus' authority over death, we see Jesus weep over the result of sin which is death, and we see Jesus resurrect demonstrating His power over death. Follow along as we learn more about the divinity of Christ through John 11.
