SERMONS

Do your life make people around you thirsty for God? Matthew 5:13-16.

We discuss “The Beatitudes” and how they are meant to be read as descriptive rather than prescriptive. In what may have been his first sermon, Jesus starts by letting his listeners know that whatever position you are in, you’re welcomed into his kingdom because he’s that good. Matthew 5:1-12.

We begin our series on Jesus’ preaching with the Sermon on the Mount as we discuss Jesus’ authority and the importance of being teachable.

God says that each and every one of us matters. People mean something to God and everyone should know that.

God’s desire is to create bonfires and redwoods out of smoldering wicks and bruised reeds. Matthew 12:20.

Is there anything out there to be afraid of? What is healthy fear and what is unhealthy fear?

How are the people of God to relate to the city around them? Jeremiah 29:4-14. Matthew 5:13-16.

We’re all prone to get stuck in our own heads. The good news is that the depth of Jesus’ renovation goes beyond just our actions and behaviors. He changes the way we think and what we think about. Proverbs 15:15. 2 Corinthians 10:1-5. Philippians 4:8.

Grace is an important word with a big meaning. However, we usually only discuss part of what it is. What’s the other half we might be missing? Acts 19:11-19.

Our character and relationship with God grow through life’s storms. Mark 4:35-41. Job 42:2-11. Romans 5:1-5.
