Tough Words from a Loving Savior

Have you ever looked at your life in comparison to the life Jesus is calling you to and asked, "Can I really change?"

Choose Your Influencers Carefully

October 16, 2022 • Darryl Williamson • Matthew 7:15–20

Our souls are shaped by the things we surrounds ourselves with. Social media, news outlets, friends - these are some of the many things that influence who we are and who we are becoming.

Guard What is Holy

September 18, 2022 • Randall Harris • Matthew 7:6

Pastor Randall takes us through a difficult passage as we continue our journey through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in our "What a Way to Live!" sermon series.

Examine Yourself Before Judging Others

September 11, 2022 • Randall Harris • Matthew 7:1–5

"How dare you judge me?!" Has anyone ever replied to you like this? Have you ever said something similar? We often like to point to Jesus' words on judging others from the Sermon on the Mount, but are we doing so correctly? Pastor Randall leads us through this commonly cited passage in this week's teaching.

Beyond Relief

September 4, 2022 • Fenol Dera • Matthew 6:25–34

Sometimes it is easier to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause of the problem. Our brother Fenol digs into Jesus' teaching on how we can move past temporary relief from our anxieties and pains, trusting Him with our lives.

The War on Love

August 28, 2022 • Rafy Amador • Matthew 6:24

Indeed, Jesus tells his audience that you cannot love God and money. But money is just one of many 'masters' warring for our love rather than our heavenly Father. Our hermano Rafy Amador takes us deep into this examination of Matthew 6:24 as we continue our "Way a Way to Live" sermon series.

Developing a Kingdom Eye

August 21, 2022 • Darryl Williamson • Matthew 6:22–23

What does Jesus mean when he tells the gathered crowd that "the eye is the lamp of the body"? Pastor Darryl connects last week's message about treasure with Jesus' teaching on developing eyes that perceive His kingdom.

The Power of a Hidden Faith

August 7, 2022 • Darryl Williamson • Matthew 6:16–18

How do we discern if our faith is authentic or performative? Jesus speaks about this in his Sermon on the Mount and Pastor D unpacks this question for us as we look specifically at the spiritual discipline of fasting.

Community of Forgiveness & Renewal

July 31, 2022 • Darryl Williamson • Matthew 6:14–15

In Luke's gospel Jesus says, "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." In our continuing "What a Way to Live!" sermon series, Pastor D explores the idea that in God's economy repentance is seen as more valuable than even righteousness.

The Disciple's Prayer

July 24, 2022 • Randall Harris • Matthew 6:9–13

Pastor Randall adds to last week's sermon on Right Prayer to dig into how Jesus taught us - His disciples - to pray.

Right Prayer

July 17, 2022 • Randall Harris • Matthew 6:5–8

God has called us to know Him fully, and we can't do that without prayer. Pastor Randall continues our "What a Way to Live" study of the Sermon on the Mount by helping us examine why we must cultivate a disciplined focus on prayer and how we should go about it.
