The Journey
February 26 - April 2, 2023
Jerusalem - North Oak
April 2, 2023 • Matt Fulmer • Matthew 27:27–50
Jesus' final days are difficult to hear, but it teaches us a theme of Jesus' life. We cannot experience the beauty of new life without the sacrifice of the cross. All the promises of the gospel are true, but in order for that to happen, we all have to sacrifice first. We never get to the beauty of new life without the sacrifice of the cross.

Samaria - North Oak
March 26, 2023 • Luke 10:25–37
Jesus had defining moments in his life — like, leaving home and going to Jerusalem. The journey took Jesus through Samaria. There Jesus was asked a question about who our neighbor is and who we should help. Jesus' answer was to see people you may see as your enemy, people who are wrong, who want to do you harm, as your neighbor.

Capernaum - North Oak
March 19, 2023 • Matt Fulmer • Luke 5:17–26
Jesus came to offer deeper healing of forgiveness, which is much more important and lasting than a miracle of helping someone walk. Our inner need for healing is a hallmark of Jesus' ministry. God is not a condemning God but a forgiving God. We're like the paralytic and the crowd. We come to Jesus to help us or give us a miracle. Sometimes Jesus does those things, but the real power of Jesus is forgiveness for our sins (missing the mark/contrary to how God wants us to live our lives), which is a more significant kind of healing.

Nazareth - North Oak
March 12, 2023 • Matt Fulmer • Galatians 4:5–7, Luke 4:14–30
Nazareth was a label given to Jesus. It was where he grew up, and his hometown had certain expectations of him. But Jesus was able to redefine himself. In this sermon, we will talk about the labels we carry and how we are redefined in Christ.

Bethlehem - North Oak
February 26, 2023 • Matt Fulmer • Micah 5:2–4, Luke 2:1–7
What parts of Jesus' birth hold significance for Jesus' life? What were the expectations of Jesus' life? Both Mary and Joseph's lineage could be traced back to King David. Jesus was Messiah, but not in the way people expected. All of us are formed by the places we are from. Jesus was born in a surprising place to a surprising couple. Following Jesus requires that we remain open to God's way and not our own way. Jesus is the savior, and Jesus is a savior in unexpected ways.
