Pastor Blaine begins Matthew 14 with a comparison of two kings - Harod, the "bad king" and Jesus, our Good King. Matthew 14:1-21 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison...

Pastor Blaine continues in Matthew 13 where Jesus teaches how the Kingdom of Heaven grows through powerful parables. Matthew 13:24-43 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, th...

Pastor Brent picks up in Matthew 12 as he preaches about Jesus advancing His kingdom through gentleness and waging war with wicked spirits. Matthew 12:15-32 Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there.

Pastor Blaine preaches out of Matthew 11 as he challenges the church to receive the TRUE Jesus as revealed in Scripture and trust in Him, not the "fantasy" Jesus that we create as a product and promotor of our fleshly desires.

Pastor Blaine continues in Matthew 9 as he examines several more of Jesus' miracles in Scripture and connects these instances of healing to faith and what it means to us today.

Pastor Blaine preaches through three of Jesus' miracles in Matthew 8 and 9, showing how Jesus' authority over physical creation, spiritual creation, and the divine courts of heaven warrants our worship.

Pastor Blaine continues preaching through Matthew 8, challenging the church to sacrifice comfort to follow Christ and prioritize devotion to Him over all other things.

Pastor Blaine continues in the Matthew sermon series as Jesus teaches the disciples how to correct one another in love. Matthew 7:1-12 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how ca...

This week, Pastor Blaine dives into Matthew 6 about what we truly worship! Matthew 6:1-18 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by o...
