17. Disturbing the Peace

March 20, 2022 • Chris Seidman • Matthew 21:1–17

It’s rare to see the Lord “fighting mad.” But it’s just as important to understand what He’s fighting for. There are moments in our lives when the Lord “disturbs the peace” in order to make it possible for us or others to experience true, substantial peace. This weekend, in Matthew 21:1-17, we’ll look at a story that exemplifies this. There are layers to this story and multiple points of intersection for our lives.

22. Beyond Easter

April 24, 2022 • Chris Seidman • Matthew 28:18–20

How in the world do you follow Easter? Jesus answered that. This weekend we read the end of the Gospel of Matthew. Before we back up and dive into the Sermon on the Mount next weekend, we’re first going to another mount found in Matthew 28:18-20.

21. Easter Seals

April 17, 2022 • Chris Seidman • Matthew 27:62—28:10

Jesus was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead. The seal that was placed over the tomb was broken on that day. What does His resurrection mean for us today?

20. The Cross

April 10, 2022 • Chris Seidman • Matthew 27:33–44

You can look at cost in terms of how expensive something is or how precious something is. This weekend we’ll be in what is likely the hardest part of the story of Jesus. The story of the cross. It’s expensive. And yet, it also tells you how precious you are to Jesus.
