Creation Renewed | Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

What’s the point of life? What’s the point of this world? If one day we’re all just going to die, what about all this stuff we have around us? Is it really all about eating, drinking, and being merry or is life just about trying to one day just make it to heaven? Jesus’ full bodily resurrection proves to us, though, that God loves this world and has amazing plans for us not only in the future but for today as well!

Creation Undone | Matthew 27:45-46

As God created the heavens and the earth by speaking light into darkness, humanity’s sin and rebellion invited the darkness back in. In the cross, then, Jesus would take that darkness upon himself in order to defeat death in his own death.

The Crucified King | John 12:1-26

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday aligned with many of the symbols of kingship the people were looking for. And yet, despite these signs the week would end with this would-be king hanging to die on a Roman cross. Were the people wrong, or, had that been right all along?

Kingdom-Founded People | Matthew 7:13-27

You don’t need to be an engineer to know a solid foundation is necessary to a stable building. Everything can look beautiful and top of the line on top, but without a firm base everything will collapse. The Sermon on the Mount has illustrated exactly what the Kingdom Jesus is building is, culminating in this final command to be sure our core foundation and beliefs are in the right place.

Kingdom-Righteous People | Matthew 7:1-12

Some criticize and characterize Christians as judgmental. But when something is out of alignment with God’s design is it judgmental to state that? How do we embody the righteousness of the Kingdom in a loving and humble way without becoming hypocrites? Jesus says just to Ask.

Kingdom-Loyal People | Matthew 6:19-34

We can tell what a person really believes and values by where they invest their time, money, and affections. If we work in reverse then we’ll see where our true loyalties and allegiances are and that, ultimately, you are what you love.

Kingdom-Praying People | Matthew 6:9-13

Why pray if God already knows everything that is going to happen? Why pray if God has a Sovereign Will that will be done no matter what? Yet Jesus doesn’t just invite us to pray but commands it. He then even gives us a model. By understanding the Lord’s Prayer not only can our own prayer lives be transformed but our very friendship with our heavenly Father.

Kingdom-Formed People | Matthew 6:1-18

ON SUNDAY February 22, the message is called KINGDOM-FORMED PEOPLE, with Beth Anderson. In Matthew 6, Jesus challenges His followers to examine not just what they do, but why they do it. As He teaches on giving, prayer, and fasting, Jesus shifts the focus from outward appearance to inward formation. Kingdom-formed people don’t practice their faith to be seen by others, but to be shaped by the Father who sees in secret. Spiritual disciplines, practiced with the right heart posture, lead us toward wholeness, integrity, and true flourishing.

Kingdom- Neighborly People | Matthew 5:33-48

People have a default way of dealing with problems. Especially today, it feels like you can’t believe what anyone says and at the slightest hint of offense people explode in rage. We’re not just talking about outside the church; this happens inside too! What if we really thought of everyone as our neighbors, and by neighbors we mean those we truly loved?

Kingdom-Hearted People | Matthew 5:21-32

Matthew 5:21-32 | True faith isn’t performance based. Jesus doesn’t want our rote obedience and conformity. His Kingdom bears both a perfect design for the world and for each person within. We must be diligent, then, at surrendering even our emotions and desires to Him!
