Have you ever played hide-n-seek with someone before? It's almost a universal rule when you're ready to start looking for the person hiding, you shout out, "Ready or not, here I come!"  Jesus tells us that one day he will return, and whether we're ready or not, we will all be judged. Unfortunately, to those who don't believe in the power of the cross, Jesus looks like...

When life is unstable, God can provide stable ground for you to rest on. In ever-changing circumstances, God's character is unchanging. 

Have recent events left you feeling frustrated? The book of Habakkuk starts off with a man frustrated and crying out to God. In this sermon, Pastor Matt looks at Habakkuk 1:1-11 and how to trust God when life is frustrating. 

As we continue our teaching series, " Trust God, When You Don't Understand", we look at our contentment (or lack thereof) in Jesus Christ. In this sermon, Pastor Matt studies Phillipians 4:10-13 and at how we can be content when life is falling apart around us. 

As we struggle this year with the anxiety and uncertainty of COVID-19, the Hope of Easter still exists. Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we have a living hope that is not dismantled when hard times come. In this sermon, Pastor Matt looks at 1 Peter and the 3 ways that Jesus offers hope. 

No other animal is mentioned in the Bible as sheep. In this sermon, Pastor Matt looks at Psalm 23, one of the most popular chapters in the Bible, and what it means for God to be our shepherd.

Our world doesn't make a lot of sense right now. In the midst of the coronavirus changing our lives, it's easy to fear. In this sermon, Pastor Matt reads through Psalm 91 and gives three reasons to trust God in a fearful world. 

“We have never seen anything like this!” It was in this way that the people of Capernaum responded to an encounter that Jesus had with a man in great need. Powerless to help himself, this man found true and ultimate healing in Jesus alone. In this sermon, we will explore Mark 2:1-12 with the aim of recognizing our own neediness and seeing Jesus as the only one who can bring true healing. May we ea...

Life is hard! It’s a world of heavy hits that temps us to despair and give up on our ministry and our callings. In 2 Timothy 2:8-14, Pastor Matt is going to show you four powerful reminders that give us the grace and encouragement to endure and to Keep the Gospel Central!

Do you find that your relationship with the church is a lot like a dating relationship? Some people tend to "date their church" when they don't engage in the mission, neglect the community, and drift apart over time. In today's age we're missing that deep commitment to the mission and people of God. In this sermon, Pastor Matt is going to show us three pictures of commitme...

What will you leave behind when your life is over? Do you often think about the legacy you’re leaving behind? In 2 Timothy 2:1-2, Paul is writing Timothy with instructions to experience a four- generation legacy and shows us the intentional steps to experience a gospel legacy that spans generations to come. 

What daily investments are you making? On what do you spend your time, money, and faculties? In the end, do you believe the reward will be worth the cost? We're in a sermon series entitled, "It's Always Too Soon to Quit." and Pastor Matt's sermon today is all about two "eternal investments" to keep us going.  These two investments found in 2 Timothy 2:13-18 teach...

So often, we fail to finish because we run away from those risky moments when we’re called to stand boldly for Jesus. It happens when we get the chance to share our faith, and we retreat from that uncomfortable conversation. It occurs when someone is ridiculing Jesus, and we stay quiet, not wanting to bear the shame. In this sermon, Pastor Matt talks about our security. In 2 Timothy 1:11-12 we wil...

We’re returning to 2 Timothy for the encouragement that “It’s Always Too Soon to Quit.” Paul is going to show us that crossing the finish line requires living an unashamed life. He’s going to explain that the expectations and opinions of people shouldn’t imprison or paralyze us. To keep going in a world of hard hits, we’ve got to live to please God and not man (Gal. 1:10; 2 Cor 5:9).
