Root & Fruit - Ep.2 - Fruit or Thorns (Jeremiah 17:1-10
Why do you do the things you do? Are your words, actions, and attitudes determined by your upbringing, circumstances, or something else? This week we dive into Jeremiah 17:1-10 and see why the answer is found in the trees and what this has to do with the 2024 election cycle.
Root & Fruit - Ep.1 - The Pier (Mathew 10:24-25)
As we go through life, we must keep lifting our head out of the water and putting our eyes on this “pier.” We must view every experience and circumstance in our lives as an opportunity, allowed by God, to make us more like Jesus.
The King's Mission E13 - Rewards (Matthew 10:40-42)
Disciples of Jesus are representatives of the King Himself and they should be treated accordingly. This week we wrap up our study of Matthew 10 and consider why serving others is the most rewarding life to live.
The Kings Mission E 12 Finding Life (Matthew 10:34-39)
There is only room for one King in your life. Will you bend the knee to Jesus or the good things of the world? Choose wisely, this is a matter of life and death. There is no middle ground, you must count the cost and choose whether you will bow to Jesus as your God and King or else totally reject him.
The Kings Mission E 11 - You > Sparrows (Matthew 10:26-33)
Suffering is ahead. But don’t worry, the worst they can do to you is kill you! This week Jesus explains why this counterintuitive concept is actually the key to being free from fear as a herald of the Kingdom.
Easter Sunday 3-31-2024
Matthew 28:5-7
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
Palm Sunday
Jesus may not be the King you want, but he's always the King that you need. Join us as we consider the perspective of the Jewish people who might have been celebrating the arrival of a King in Jerusalm.

The King's Mission E9 - Matthew 10:16-20
The world is a dangerous place for disciples of Jesus. This week we learn how to be a faithful herald without getting into unnecessary trouble, and what Jesus has in common with Napoleon Dynamite.

The Lord's Prayer

How do you want people to describe you at your funeral? What characteristics do you want people to see in you? This week in Matthew 10:8-11, embedded in some odd-sounding instructions, we will see 3 virtues that Jesus says should characterize the lives of His disciples, both then and now.

The King's Mission E4 - Matthew 10:1-4

Join us this Sunday to learn the answer. (Hint: according to Matthew 10:1-4 these are all people God uses to change the world!)
The King's Mission E3 - Matthew 9:35-38
How do you respond emotionally when you see people doing or saying something dumb—Fear? Outrage? This week we see in Matthew 10:35-38 that Jesus responds with compassion. And his compassion is the foundation of his Mission and our prayers.
The King's Mission E2 - Matthew 9:35-36
What is the biggest problem with the human condition? Every worldview tries to respond to this question, but only Jesus has the true answer. This week we discover what that answer is in Matthew 9:35-36, and, while it's NOT flattering, it gives us HOPE for ourselves and the people around us.

Sunday morning is where we come into the king’s throne room and offer ourselves before Him.

The King's Mission E1 - Matthew 7:24-29
Is it possible that you are not becoming more like Jesus but rather making Jesus more like yourself? This week we kick off our new series on Matthew 10 by discussing how we should approach the teachings of Jesus in order to make sure we are being formed in His image and not the other way around.
Worship the Christ (Matthew 2:1-12)
Jesus the Christ has been a polarizing figure from the beginning. You must either bow to Him as your King or oppose Him and try to control your own life. Which will you choose?
The Salvation of the Christ (Matthew 1:18-25)
Facing a financial crisis? Trouble at home? Job uncertain? Despite all these things, your greatest need is not to be delivered from your circumstances but to be saved from your sins–and that is EXACTLY what Jesus the Christ came to do!
Putting the Christ back in Christmas (Matthew 1:1-17)
We prepare our hearts for Christmas by diving into Matthew 1 and asking the question, “What does the word ‘Christ’ actually mean?” Join us this week as we learn that “Christ” is not Jesus’s last name and discuss the real way for disciples of Jesus to put the Christ back into Christmas.
#blessed: a new body (1 Corinthians 15:35-49)
If you think that in Heaven we will be disembodied spirits floating on clouds, listening to harp music, then you REALLY need to pay attention to this week’s sermon. Come learn what our bodies will be like in Heaven and why the Resurrection isn’t just something Christians believe in, its something we participate in! #blessed #weeksix #newbody #1corinthians15
#blessed: God uses you (Ephesians 2:4-10)
You are a TOOL not a TROPHY. God didn’t save you just to put you on a shelf and collect dust. He has good works for you to do–lots of them! Sound exhausting? Its not! All you have to do is learn to walk. #blessed #weekfive #godusesyou #goodworks #ephesians2:4-10
#blessed: God changes you (Romans 6)
Now that Jesus has saved you, you can live however you want, right!? No. The Gospel is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! This week we learn about sanctification and why justification and adoption are just the beginning of God’s blessings! #blessed #weekfour #sanctified #buriedwithchrist #raisedwithchrist #godchangesyou #newlife #romans6
#blessed: God adopts you (Galatians 4:1-7)
God doesn’t just save you from hell, He adopts you into His family. This week we learn why nobody who follows Jesus is an orphan and how to get off the treadmill of trying to work for the approval of others. #blessed #weekthree #adopted #galatians4:1-7
#blessed: God justifies you (Romans 3:21-26)
Bible Trivia question: On a scale of 1 to Jesus Christ, how righteous are you in God’s eyes? If you answered less than Jesus, then you don’t understand the meaning of the word “justification.” This week we learn the meaning of this fancy theological term, and why when you trust in Jesus, God does SOOOOO much more than just give you a second chance. #blessed #weektwo #justified #romans3:21-26
What does it mean to be #blessed?
What does it mean to be #blessed? Is it being rich and powerful? Good-looking and popular? This Sunday we kick off a new series where we will examine what it means to be blessed and how God promises to bless you as you follow Jesus. #blessed #weekone #godofjacob #yahwehisfaithful100percent
