In Matthew 7:28–29, we conclude by considering The Amazing Authority of Christ. The sermon on the mount wraps up with the reaction of the crowd to Christ, which was AMAZEMENT without repentance. This Sunday, we will examine our hearts, embrace the greatness of our SAVIOR, and learn much about him.

Christ will remind us of The Rock of Assurance we all need. Christ will teach us the only way to survive the storms of life and the final storm of judgement is to build our lives upon the solid ROCK of Christ as our only foundation. May we all be able to sing and proclaim together: "On Christ, the solid rock, I stand!"

Spring Panel and the previous speakers were on the panel - Dori Lengyel, Sharon Verougstraete, and Lauren Dietrich.

Christ will continue in His Sermon on the Mount from warning of errant teachers last week to warning of errant hearers this week. Matthew 7:21–23 will reveal The Danger of a Christianity Without Christ. Our Lord will teach that many are professors of Christ but not possessors of Christ. Let’s learn how to discover and how to share the gospel with those who call themselves Christians yet do not have Christ. These are the words we don’t want to hear, but they are also the words we don’t want...

Luke 24:12–49 and take a Walk To A New Life!

: Christ will warn us in Matthew 7:15–20 of one of the biggest Dangers Christians Face: False Teachers. These false prophets will come to you in sheep’s clothing looking to deceive, derail, and destroy those walking on the narrow road. There were false teachers back then in the first century and there are false teachers today – disguising themselves through trendy social media posts, on TV, in Bible colleges, seminaries, Christian high schools, and churches.

Christ will ask in Matthew 7:13–14, Which Road Are You On? There is the broad road that leads to destruction and the narrow road that leads to Life. Both roads are marked “Heaven,” but only one road truly leads there. There is no dodging the question this Sunday. Jesus Christ is direct and He is calling for a decision! Which way will you choose? Are you truly one of the few?

We should have an eternal perspective remembering we are shaping our children to love what we love when we love and serve the church.

THIS SUNDAY, Alex Montoya will unpack Luke 15:11–32, "Grace For The Older Son." In this passage, we will see the incredible grace offered to the older son and the amazing compassion of our Father. Do not miss this SPECIAL treat!

After all that Christ has called us to be thus far through His Sermon on the Mount, He recognizes that His audience may be feeling inadequate to do all He has commanded. So, in Matthew 7:7–12, Christ will give all believers hope to overcome inadequacy and to stand firm when the battle is hot.

We will examine and clarify what the Lord is actually teaching in this famous, yet often misused, passage: Matthew 7:1–6. Continuing in His Sermon on the Mount, Christ will now teach us How to Treat Others. Don't miss this Sunday as we will be both challenged and encouraged to live more like Christ!

For the true believer in Christ, worrying about anything simply reveals our lack of trust in our Sovereign Lord! The Sovereign Christ will continue His incredible Sermon on the Mount by addressing the crippling sins of anxiety and worry. Matthew 6:25–34 will remind all true believers in Christ: do NOT worry and DO seek the Lord first! Christ not only wants us to stop worrying, He wants us to also start seeking Him.

We are back in the Sermon on the Mount as Christ will reveal the purpose for all your possessions and money. Matthew 6:19–24 will answer the question: Whose Stuff Is It? No longer are we slaves to materialism but we have been made slaves of Christ and therefore stewards of all that He has given us.

Suffering here in the temporal world has an eternal purpose. Focusing on the eternal transforms how we live in the temporal.

We are so excited to have Morgan Maitland open God's Word to us from Hebrews 10

We will continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount as the Lord will teach us the true spiritual purpose of fasting. Matthew 6:16–18 explains Why Christians Sometimes Don't Eat. Christ will expose our prideful hearts – wanting to impress others with our spiritual discipline – and reveal to us why, how, and when we ought to fast.

We dive into a very familiar passage that is often misunderstood, misused, and mislabeled as "The Lord's Prayer." Many have taken this prayer and turned it into a stale repetition – used as a liturgy as if it were meant by God to be a prayer to God. Athletes huddle up and chant this prayer, families commit this prayer to memory and recite it daily, but this is NOT what the Lord intended! Matthew 6:9–15 is better labeled, "The DISCIPLE'S Prayer!" It is The Lord's Sample Prayer For His...

God wants us to live our reality filled with all joy, all peace, independent of how we think and feel because of Who we know.

This Sunday the greatest preacher of all time in the greatest sermon of all time will not only expose His disciples' great NEED to pray but He will also teach them, and us, How NOT to Pray. Jesus, in Matthew 6:5–8, will warn us to STOP PRAYING with vain motives to impress people and start praying with hearts to commune with your Heavenly Father.

We continue in our study of the Sermon on the Mount with a most timely reminder for the New Year: Matthew 6:1–4 will expose our sinful motives when we are Living to Impress. Christ yet again shows the hypocrisy of the Pharisees as they give money to the poor in order to impress men not God.

We are back to the Sermon on the Mount! Matthew 5:43–48 - The Shocking Love of Christ Through You. With Jesus' final statement of "You have heard that it was said ... But I say to you," we will be challenged to truly love the Lord and one another.

This year we teach through Luke 2:7, Does Christ have room for you? And you will be encouraged and reminded about what OUR CREATOR, REDEEMER and our FRIEND has done for us.

Christ challenges His followers to be willing to give up their DIGNITY; surrender your SECURITY, renounce your LIBERTY, even forfeit your PROPERTY – GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS – do not even fight for justice for yourself. These verses are some of the most misunderstood and misapplied in the bible. Jesus is NOT teaching you to live as a doormat, or teach pacifism, or promote anarchy but to surrender your rights in order to point to Christ

We don’t hear the truth any more. When I was a kid, I trusted Walter Cronkite – he was generally honest. But objective, propositional truth is gone from news, from social media, from politics, from almost every forum today. Sadly the people of our country have fallen in line and to the JOY of our EVIL ENEMY, LIES are the norm of the day – deception – manipulation – and more.
