Does God hear you when we pray? Or do you feel like your prayers are just bouncing off the ceiling? This week Pastor Ivey finishes the main portion of the Sermon on the Mount by looking at how God answers our prayers.

The Life I Didn't Deserve

January 1, 2023 • Ivey Rhodes • Matthew 7:13–29

In big and small ways, we have probably experienced a time when we received something we didn't deserve on the merits and reputation of someone else. If that has ever happened to you, you know that it is a humbling experience for which you should be very grateful. This is essentially the story of our relationship with Jesus. This week, Pastor Ivey finishes the Sermon on the Mount with two final examples from Jesus about true life, two roads, and two types of foundations.

Just a Little Bit More

November 13, 2022 • Ivey Rhodes • Matthew 6:19–34

Most of us have a lot of stuff, and much of it is just junk that piles up. If you don't think you have any junk, just move and you'll realize how much extra stuff you really have! It may surprise you to find out, Jesus has a lot to say about all our extra stuff. How we should use it, collect it, and even where we should store it. Plus he helps us understand how our misplaced desire for more stuff is actually causing us anxiety. This week listen as we learn how much we need, how God will provide, and how to overcome the regular anxieties of life.

You Judge Me?

November 6, 2022 • Ivey Rhodes • Matthew 7:1–6

This week Pastor Ivey covers one of the most famous verses in the Bible. Even people that don't really know the Bible quote Jesus, when they say, "Do not judge." But what did Jesus mean by this teaching? Is that even his whole statement? Are we not to judge anything or anyone? If that is true, how would we ever discern who to hire, marry, or even have deep friendships with? All these questions and more are answered in this week's message.
