In this sermon from Nahum chapter 2. Nahum gives all the vivid details of the downfall of the city of Nineveh. Nahum 2 reveals that when God declares judgment, no enemy can stand and no purpose of His can fail. For God’s people, this is a reminder that He will judge wickedness, keep His promises, and ultimately bring justice. Nahum’s vivid picture of Nineveh’s fall reminds us that God’s judgment i...

How can we remain confident in God's promises when the world around us seems uncertain? In Matthew 24:32–35, Jesus uses the illustration of a fig tree to teach His disciples the importance of recognizing the signs He has given. As He continues His teaching on the events surrounding His coming judgment, Christ makes a remarkable declaration: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not p...

What will happen when Jesus Christ returns in glory? In Matthew 24:29–31, Jesus describes one of the most dramatic events in all of human history—the visible and glorious coming of the Son of Man. As Jesus continues His teaching on the Mount of Olives, He reveals extraordinary signs in the heavens, the appearing of the Son of Man with power and great glory, and the gathering of His elect from the...

In Matthew 24:15–28, Jesus warns His disciples of a coming time of unprecedented tribulation, deception, and distress. Yet amid these sobering warnings, Christ reminds His followers that He has told them these things beforehand. In this sermon, Pastor Todd Fletcher examines Jesus’ teaching concerning the abomination of desolation, the great tribulation, the rise of false christs and false prophets...

What does true repentance look like? In 2 Chronicles 33:12–13, we see one of Scripture’s most striking pictures of repentance in the life of King Manasseh. After years of grievous rebellion against God, Manasseh found himself humbled by the consequences of his sin. In his distress, he sought the Lord, humbled himself greatly, and prayed—and God heard him. In this sermon, Aaron Archer examines the...

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah has just witnessed one of the greatest displays of God’s power in the Old Testament. Yet only a short time later, he is afraid, discouraged, and running for his life. Alone in the wilderness, Elijah discovers that the Lord does not always make Himself known through the spectacular. In this sermon, Mathieu Coran walks through Elijah’s encounter with God at Mount Horeb and the...

Jesus warned His disciples that following Him would not exempt them from suffering. They would face persecution, hatred, betrayal, deception, and increasing lawlessness. Yet in the midst of those sobering realities, Christ gave His people a promise: “The one who endures to the end will be saved.” In Matthew 24:9–14, Jesus describes the opposition His followers will face while also pointing to the...

As Jesus leaves the temple and sits with His disciples on the Mount of Olives, they ask Him about the destruction He has just predicted, His coming, and the end of the age. His answer begins with a warning: “See that no one leads you astray.” In Matthew 24:3–8, Jesus describes false messiahs, wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes. Yet rather than telling His disciples to panic at every...

As Jesus looks over Jerusalem, He laments the people who repeatedly rejected God’s messengers and refused to come under His gracious protection. Their rejection would have devastating consequences. The magnificent temple they trusted in would soon be left desolate—not one stone would be left upon another. In Matthew 23:37–24:2, Pastor Todd Fletcher examines Jesus’ sorrow over Jerusalem, the seriou...

In Matthew 23:29–36, Jesus exposes the final evidence of the religious leaders’ hypocrisy. They honored the prophets of the past, decorated their tombs, and insisted that they would never have participated in their persecution. Yet when God’s Word stood before them—and when God sent His messengers to them—they rejected the very truth they claimed to honor. The problem was not a lack of religious k...

In Matthew 23:23–28, Jesus exposes the danger of appearing righteous on the outside while remaining corrupt within. The scribes and Pharisees were meticulous about outward religious observance, yet they neglected the “weightier matters of the law”—justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Like cups polished on the outside and whitewashed tombs hiding death within, their religion could not produce the righ...

In Matthew 23:13–22, Jesus pronounces a series of sobering woes against the scribes and Pharisees. These religious leaders had been entrusted with the truth of God, but rather than using that truth to lead people into the kingdom, they stood in the way. In “Misusing the Keys,” Todd Fletcher examines Christ’s warning against religious leadership that distorts the truth and closes the door of the ki...

In Matthew 23:1–12, Jesus confronts the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees—religious leaders who loved recognition, titles, and positions of honor but failed to practice what they preached. In “Servants, Not Showmen,” Todd Fletcher explains that true spiritual leadership is not about appearing impressive before others. Christ calls His followers to reject pride, practice what they teach, and p...

What does genuine wisdom look like? In James 3:13–18, Scripture contrasts the selfish, destructive wisdom of the world with the pure and peaceable wisdom that comes from God. In this sermon, “The Fruits of Wisdom,” CJ Bohnen explains how true wisdom is revealed not merely through what we know, but through the humility, conduct, and spiritual fruit displayed in our lives. Earthly wisdom produces je...

After answering every challenge brought against Him, Jesus turns the tables on the religious leaders and asks them a question: “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” Their answer—that the Messiah is the son of David—is correct, but incomplete. Quoting Psalm 110, Jesus shows that the promised Christ is not merely David’s descendant; He is David’s Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Todd Fl...

In Matthew 22:34–40, a lawyer tests Jesus by asking which commandment is greatest. Christ’s answer brings the whole duty of man into focus: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. In this sermon, Pastor Todd Fletcher explains why love is not merely one Christian virtue among many but the weight upon which the whole Law and Prophets hang. True obedience beg...

In this sermon from Nahum 1:9-15, Nahum applies God’s character to the current situation of oppression from Assyria. We too must apply God’s character to our life. We must forsake human wisdom and replace it with confidence in God’s wisdom and plan. 1. The Collapse of Human Plans (v9-11) 2. The Comfort of God’s Judgement (v12-14) 3. The Confidence of God’s Plan (v15)

In Matthew 22:23–33, the Sadducees come to Jesus with a question designed to trap Him and undermine the doctrine of the resurrection. Since they denied the resurrection, they presented what they thought was an impossible scenario. But Jesus exposes the real problem: they did not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. With divine wisdom and authority, Jesus defends the truth of the resurrec...

In Matthew 22:15–22, the Pharisees and Herodians tried to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. But Jesus answered with perfect wisdom: “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” In this sermon, Pay Caesar, Worship God, we consider what Jesus teaches about earthly authority, civic responsibility, and the far greater claim God has upon...

In Matthew 22:1–14, Jesus tells the parable of the wedding feast—a powerful picture of God’s gracious invitation, man’s sinful rejection, and the necessity of coming to the King on His terms. In this sermon, “Everything is Ready,” Pastor Todd Fletcher walks through Christ’s warning to those who refuse the invitation of the kingdom and the sobering truth that many are called, but few are chosen. Th...

How should Christians respond when the truth is opposed? In 2 Timothy 2:23–26, Paul gives Timothy clear instruction for handling controversy, correction, and conflict in the church. The servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, even when dealing with those who are difficult, deceived, or resistant to the truth. Instead, he must be kind, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, and correcting opp...

In 2 Timothy 2:20–26, Paul reminds Timothy that the servant of the Lord must be a vessel set apart for honorable use—cleansed, useful to the Master, and ready for every good work. In this sermon, “The Presentation of His Truth, Part 1,” Dr. Todd Fletcher considers how God’s people are called to pursue holiness, flee youthful passions, and speak the truth with gentleness, patience, and conviction....

In this sermon from Nahum 1:2-8, we are reminded of the character and nature of our God as an all consuming powerful yet slow to anger Judge. He enacts perfect judgement and creation and all the world responds to Him. In this message we look at God's Character and Actions and Your stance before Him. 1. His Character as Judge (v2-3) 2. His Actions as Judge (v3-5) 3. Your stance before Him as Judge...

In this sermon from Nahum 1:1-2, Pastor Chris Stevenson introduces us to the book of Nahum, and we take a look at the historical setting and draw implications for our walk with the Lord today from this minor prophet. Nahum is often overlooked, but it gives us a clear and sobering picture of who God truly is. Many today prefer a version of God that is only loving—but Nahum reveals a fuller, more ac...

In this sermon from Matthew 21:33–46, Pastor Todd Fletcher unpacks Jesus’ parable of the wicked tenants and the powerful truth of “The Rejected Cornerstone.” As Christ confronts the religious leaders of Israel, this passage reveals humanity’s rejection of God’s Son, the certainty of divine judgment, and the triumph of Christ as the cornerstone of God’s kingdom. This message calls us to examine whe...
