Kingdom Narrratives Sermon Series

Part 3: Treasure

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 13:44–46

What we value the most will always direct and define our lives. In Matthew 13:44-46, Jesus tells a powerful story to show us what His kingdom is like. The story reveals the overwhelming worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. When we see it for its worth, we can joyfully let go of all the things in this world. Pastor Rob continues our Kingdom Narratives sermon series with part 3: Treasure. As we study the parables of Jesus, we challenge ourselves to three things: * Look Upward: What does the parable teach us about the Lord and His Kingdom? * Look Inward: What does it reveal about us? * Respond Forward: How can we respond in obedience?

Part 2: An Unforgiving Story

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 18:23–35

How big of a deal is forgiveness to Jesus? Unforgiveness in our hearts can be a significant red flag that indicates we are not walking in the fullness of our forgiveness from Jesus or that we never really knew it. This week, Pastor Rob led us through the parable of the unforgiving servant found in Matthew 18:23-35. God's forgiveness is so immense that it demands the complete eradication of all unforgiveness from the hearts of those who have received it. As we study the parables of Jesus, we challenge ourselves to three things: * Look Upward: What does the parable teach us about the Lord and His Kingdom? * Look Inward: What does it reveal about us? * Respond Forward: How can we respond in obedience?

Part 1: Built on the Rock

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Rob Danz • Matthew 7:24–27

Our new series, titled "Kingdom Narratives," walks through the amazing stories of Jesus given to us in parables. Jesus spoke in parables to provide us with snapshots of everyday life that illustrate the truths about God’s kingdom. Week 1 was based on Matthew 7:24-27 and the parable of the man who builds his house on the rock. Building our house on the rock of Christ is based on obedience to Jesus and His Kingdom. As we study the parables of Jesus, we challenge ourselves to three things: * Look Upward: What does the parable teach us about the Lord and His Kingdom? * Look Inward: What does it reveal about us? * Respond Forward: How can we respond in obedience?
