Jesus’ Pedigree It is important to recognize that the Gospel of Matthew was written to the Hebrew people in the first century. It is a thorough record of Jesus’ right to the throne of David. King David God made a covenant with king David, establishing a Davidic dynasty and promising an eternal Davidic…

Murder. anger, pride, selfishness all have malice in common. These sins and many more cut the heart off from pure motives focused on the Lord. Our prayer today is that as you listen to this message, you lay any burdens down that are holding you back from a life of freedom in Christ and a heart that is set aside only for God. Only God can take a dirty heart and make it clean.

We are in week four of our series that is on the Book of Matthew. We are still in the beginning stages of Jesus ministry. Last week we looked at the temptation of Jesus. Today, I want to look at the mission of Jesus. I believe He has a three fold mission on what He came to do. I believe we see a glimpse…

This is week five of our sermon series on the Book of Matthew. We are moving right along. I told you last week we will do a series on the beatitudes this summer. We will completely unwrap each of those and their meanings. So, for today, I want to move to the next section. Many of you have heard many…

Last week we began a series on the Book of Matthew. My message pointed to Jesus as the Messiah. It is important that we understand Jesus as being the Messiah. Today we will be reading Matthew chapter 3. This is what starts the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. About 20 years have past since we last heard…

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Introduction Have you ever seen a date coming, maybe a test in school, a meeting with your boss that you realize you are going to have to deal with something. I have been seeing the collision with this verse and…

For the past several months this year, God has been dealing with me on the discipleship that is in place for this church. Sure we have different opportunities for you to grow in your relationship with the Lord but I still believe that there are things missing that we need to put in place. About three…

Lights shine bright... everywhere we go! As long as God is at work (which He is), as long as the Holy Spirit is moving (which he is), as long as the Church is alive (which she is)... lights will always shine bright. The question is are you contributing to darkness or light? We invite you to listen this morning as Pastor Chase brings God's Word to us in a practical way! (The video shown at the end was of color blind people viewing color for the first time through Enchroma Glasses. The illustration shows what it's like when we allow Christ to shine through our lives to others.)

Jesus' words in the sermon on the mount were counter cultural during His time. They continue to be counter coultural, yet we are to live by His words, still today. Today we look at Matthew 5:5 and discover that though the world says meekness is weakness, Jesus says the opposite is true. Meekness is power in control, but what does that look like? Find out in this sermon...

Intro Last week we looked briefly at the Beatitudes and learnt what we referred to as the soundtrack of our lives. The rhythms and lyrics to the song our lives sing are wrapped up in those verses. The big takeaway from hearing those Beatitudes is that we hear that we have been called by God to be called…

We are reminded that God graciously reclines at the table with us. We are encouraged to sit down with Jesus even in the midst of our brokenness.

Medical science tells us that one of the most important factors pertaining to good health is exercise. They say that a body in motion stays in motion, that means that it is much easier to keep something moving that is already in motion, than to start it moving from a stationary position. So they encourage…

SCRIPTURE READING INTRODUCTION What is the transfiguration? It means to change in a manner visible to others. After Jesus gave the disciples a definition of discipleship he took them up on a mountain and transformed Himself before them. When I say transformed, I mean His earthly body took on a heavenly…

1 Samuel 10:6

1 Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2 But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we…

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Only reciprocal beatitude... Notice a shift? The first 3 beatitudes are about my position and relationship with God... Then we hit last week which was a transitional beatitude from positional righteousness to living in right relationship with…

I could stand up here this morning and preach out of Mark 16:15 on “The Great Commission” and try to relay to you the definitive points of that command. I could go through all three of Paul’s Missionary Journeys and tell you what he accomplished. But what I feel led to do this morning is give you a brief…

At the University of California in San Diego , Dr. Vilayanur Ramachandran has spent a considerable amount of time studying Flatfish .

The End of Our Story Revelation 21:1–8 Last week, we looked at Jesus’ glorious resurrection and how He revealed Himself alive and well to His followers. This week, we will look at what Jesus is doing now and when He will return. As noted last week, Jesus rose on the third day, Easter Sunday, and spent…

The Church Has Left the Building Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples…

Ver.13-15 Jesus Blesses Little Children Mark 10:16 “16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.” Ver.16-22 Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler Mark 10:17 “17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall…

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am…
