The Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 28:16-20 – The Great Commission
November 5, 2023 • Doug Horner • Matthew 28:16–20
Matthew closes with Jesus risen and proclaiming "all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." It's on the basis of this all-encompassing authority that Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all nations. Pastor Doug teaches on this Great Commission from Matthew 28:16-20.
Matthew 28:11-15 – How Can We Explain the Empty Tomb?
October 29, 2023 • David Horner • Matthew 28:11–15
How can we explain the empty tomb? The chief priests and elders tried to cover up the truth in Matthew 28:11-15 by saying that Jesus' disciples stole the body. But have the chief priests and the opponents of Christianity through the ages really given us the best explanation of the facts, or does the evidence show that Jesus rose from the dead? Pastor David preaches on Matthew 28:11-15.
Matthew 28:1-10 – The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
October 22, 2023 • David Horner • Matthew 28:1–10
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in the history of the world. What can we learn about it from Matthew's account? What implications does it have for our lives? Pastor David Horner preaches on Matthew 28:1-10.
Matthew 27:27-50 – The Cross of Christ
September 24, 2023 • David Horner • Matthew 27:27–50
The cross is at the center of Scripture. The Old Testament looks forward to it. The New Testament looks backwards at it. Today we consider the wondrous cross and what Jesus was doing as He died for us. Pastor David teaches from Matthew 27:27-50.
Matthew 26:30-56 – The Place of Preparation
September 3, 2023 • Doug Horner • Matthew 26:30–56
Jesus' final moments before his betrayal were spent in Gethsemane, praying to His Father. This was the place of final preparation before He went to the cross. Pastor Doug takes us through Jesus' time in Gethsemane in Matthew 26:30-56.
Matthew 26:17-30 – One Last Meal

On the evening he was betrayed, Jesus shared one last meal with his disciples. The significance of this moment extends into our present day. Pastor David teaches on the Lord's Supper in a message entitled "One Last Meal" from Matthew 26:17-30.
Matthew 25:31-46 – Don't Be The GOAT
August 13, 2023 • David Horner • Matthew 25:31–46
Jesus described the final judgment like a shepherd that separates sheep from goats. There are only two options: sheep or goat; believer or unbeliever; heaven or hell. What is the difference between the two? Pastor David talks about that in this message on Matthew 25:31-46.
Matthew 25:14-30 – Be A Faithful Servant
August 6, 2023 • Doug Horner • Matthew 25:14–30
Jesus told the parable of the talents so that we would understand that 1) everything we have is from God and 2) God expects us to use it for his glory until Christ returns. Pastor Doug teaches on being a faithful servant from Matthew 25:14-30.
Matthew 25:1-13 – The Parable of the 10 Virgins
July 30, 2023 • David Horner • Matthew 25:1–13
Jesus told us what to look for in preparation for His coming in Matthew 24. But he made it clear that no one knows the hour or day when he is coming back. Therefore, we must always be ready. In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the 10 virgins to illustrate this important truth.
