May 31, 2026 • Matthew Henry • Acts 18:24–26, Acts 18:1–3, Acts 18:18–19
Aquila and Priscilla are introduced to the reader in Acts 18. Though they appear only a few times in the bible, their influence was one to consider for us today. This is due to at least three reasons: The first is that they labored and served the Apostle Paul in a point of time where he was likely lonely and facing discouragement. Second, they were responsible for bringing the great preacher Apollos to a proper and complete understanding of the gospel, thus unleashing him to do a good work himself. Third, because Priscilla becomes one of the key lightening rods for the egalitarian movement. This message seeks to develop all three of these points.
Faithfulness in Weakness
May 17, 2026 • Matthew Henry • Acts 18:1–4
Paul is now in Corinth, a major city in the area and he attempts to bring the gospel to his fellow Jews. But he is not here as a man of confidence and strength, but in weakness. This second journey for the gospel is filled with many trials and hardships and now he is in a major city all alone. What greets him? Debauchery of every type, the arrogance of man on full display and a city desperate for the gospel. So what does a man who is weary and weak do? He seeks merely to be faithful to his calling as an apostle.

Heaven, Where All Is New
April 26, 2026 • Matthew Henry • Revelation 21:1—22:5
In this message the believer is shown what is their’s in Jesus Christ. Where all things are made new. It is the heart throb of every person who hopes in Jesus Christ, especially those afflicted and burdened. We see imagery that draws our minds all the way back to Eden. God dwells among us and we among Him. Our enemies of sin, Satan and death shall never enter into our lives again. They are gone, banished in the glory of God’s righteous wrath. And the children of God now enter into the joy of their Master. And in this the glory of God shines brightly.
The Intermediate Heaven - Part 2
April 19, 2026 • Matthew Henry
At this point in time in God’s program, believers who die are immediately brought into the presence of Jesus Christ, while their bodies remain in the grave. The next major event is the Second Advent of Jesus Christ where the Church, both living and dead, shall meet Him and be with Him forevermore. However, the eternal state of a New Heaven & Earth does not come at that point. Rather, it is the millennial reign of Christ over the earth. And the entire Church will be with Christ, in our resurrected bodies, serving and ruling on the earth. During this
time, there will also be a time of judgment for the believers.
The Intermediate Heaven
April 12, 2026 • Matthew Henry
The idea and reality of heaven is often muddled in our minds. We believe in it and hope for it, but we really don’t know how it works. It is usually something that happens “later” and a “place” we go. But beyond that, we don’t know much. The bible speaks much on heaven and one will discover that the heaven of which we think about much of the time is not the final reality. It is better understood as an intermediate place that awaits the final stage of eternity. A lot of the problem arises due to a shifting away from the biblical text and into a more
theoretical and philosophical approach to heaven.

What Does Death Mean?
March 22, 2026 • Matthew Henry
{No Sermon Notes}
What happens when you die? Unless Jesus returns in your lifetime, you will die. It is a fixed, certain reality and nothing you are currently are doing will change that. For a Christian, however, there should not be a fear of death. Rather, there should be a sort of anticipation of it, for it is the doorway into the presence of their Savior. But there are a lot of questions about this and that is the purpose of this sermon, to learn what it is that occurs when a believer dies.
