Answering Doubt with Jesus

August 13, 2023 • Pastor Mark Schutz • Matthew 14:22–33

It is not uncommon that, in times of adversity, doubt rears its ugly head—doubts about God’s care, God’s promises, God’s providence. In those times, the true answer to doubt is not found in some great miracle that removes adversity, but in the still small voice of our Savior God whispering to us in his Word.

Come Find Rest

July 9, 2023 • Pastor Mark Schutz • Matthew 11:25–30

Rest is something we all need. More than just sleep or breaks throughout the day, though, our souls need rest. But where does the Christian find it? Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to him for rest.

Hear So You May Live

July 16, 2023 • Isaiah 55:10–13

What a miracle it is to see the seeds we plant in the ground grow! Jesus uses that picture from nature to show us how his Word causes faith to grow in human hearts.

Living Among the Weeds

July 23, 2023 • Pastor Mark Schutz • Matthew 13:24–30, Matthew 13:36–43

Does God even care about evil in this world? It just seems to keep on growing. God's wrath over every effect of sin is real. Yet his mercy for sinners is real, too. God calls us to live as his children, like wheat among weeds, until the last day. Then, he will take care of removing every form of evil from the lives of his people once and for all.
