JESUS ON PRAYER

Mindy Knochenmus shares this week's message on the benefits and importance of a faithful prayer life.

JESUS ON A PRIVATE LIFE

A motive is a reason for doing something. In Matthew 6, Jesus challenges His disciples to check the motives of their hearts when practicing righteous acts of giving, prayer, and fasting. Proverbs 21:2 says, "Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs and examines the heart." When ministering to others, let's follow Jesus's example and keep our motives pure.

JESUS ON ENEMIES

Among the most profound teachings imparted by Jesus to His disciples are those concerning our treatment of enemies. In this sermon, Pastor Matt encourages us to embrace the difficulty while offering practical guidance on cultivating love toward those who oppose us.

JESUS ON HIGH STANDARDS

While our hearts are easily drawn to compromise, Jesus has high expectations for anyone who wants to be His disciple. He wants a pure heart. Continuing in his Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Matt shares on how we approach Matthew 5's high standards.

JESUS ON ANGER

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus focused on His followers' hearts rather than the letter of the law. In this sermon, Pastor Matt examines what Jesus said about the anger in our hearts and what we should do with it.

JESUS ON SALT & LIGHT

Salt and light are two essential components of life. What was Jesus illustrating when He spoke of them in Matthew 5? Pastor Matt will help us explore the life of a disciple of Jesus through the examples of salt and light.

JESUS ON BLESSED

When you hear the word "blessed," what comes to mind? Who comes to mind? Chances are, your answer is different than that of Jesus. Beginning a series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Matt's message will help you grasp the beauty and awe of those Jesus calls blessed.

Making the Team

Most of us ponder at some point in our lives whether we will make the cut and enter the kingdom of heaven. Making the team requires one thing. Jesus explains in John 3:3, "Truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." The common characteristics of born again believers give away what team they belong to. Are you part of the team?

WE ARE THE CHURCH: Send Me Here

Prior to Jesus leaving the disciples He gave them a commission, and it is still our mission to this day. This week we'll explore what it looks like for the Church to engage the great commission.

WE ARE THE CHURCH: I Am

Jesus left us with a commission to follow, but we often find ourselves as spectators. As the Church, if we recognize the power of God that is in us, we will discover new meaning and devotion as we engage the direction He gives us.
