Greenhouse Sermons

Join Pastor Mike Patz in this captivating sermon as he explores the profound message behind Jesus' words, "Let the dead bury the dead." Discover the transformative power of prioritizing our spiritual growth over worldly concerns. Watch now and let the dead bury the dead.

Pastor Byron Williams breaks down another difficult saying of Jesus; choose the narrow road.  We can have a saving faith in Jesus, yet still walk down the wide path of destruction. Staying on the narrow road isn't easy, but it's possible as we make daily decisions to follow Christ and his ways.

Pastor Joel Romelus, director of Made for More Ministry, kicks off our summer sermon series on The Difficult Sayings of Jesus, with a look at Matthew 18:21-35. We are all experts at counting the offenses committed against us: the sins, the pains, the hurts. It is so deeply ingrained in our DNA that it goes all the way back to Genesis chapter 3. But today Jesus tells us the only way out is through...

Our Good Life series concludes as Pastor Zach Hornsby asks the question, "what makes a life good?" Jesus taught the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, how the master gave to each person, expecting them to steward the gift over their lifetime. Money and my perception of it is not my identity. The longing of our soul is to hear Him say, "well done!" The good life is all...

The Good Life series continues as Pastor Matt Ulrich breaks down what the Bible says about our money, tithing,  and offerings. When we give our first and best there is no guarantee we will receive more. It's an issue of trust, an act of faith. Tithing and offerings are an act of worship, and a guide for generosity. Begin the adventure that comes as we dare to take God at His word and begin to...

Have you ever wondered what it means to live The Good Life? Pastor Mike Patz brings a message on Matthew 6:22-23, and explains the difference between what Jesus called a "good eye" and an "evil eye". A generous man gets translated as having a good eye in Proverbs 22:9. The Good Life is one marked by compassion. It is focused on one thing; being generous with others, seeing &amp...

Our new sermon series, The Good Life, begins as Pastor Mike takes a look at Matthew 6:19-24. These words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, admonish us to store up our treasure in heaven. You can only have a good life with a good heart, and your heart always follows your money. Unlike in the game of Monopoly, the game of the good life is not won by accumulating more. Jesus gave everything up to...

As we conclude our Who We Are series, Pastor Andrea Sarafan challenges us with our Missions & Generosity Fluency. The call in Matthew 24 is clear. There's only one thing left for us to do before Jesus can come back, and it's something we can do. "The gospel will be preached to all nations, then the end will come." The "unreached" means that they do not have access t...

We continue our Who We Are series with a look at Matthew 28:16-20. Jesus commanded His followers to be going, and baptizing, and teaching to make disciples of all nations. If we want to make a difference, we'll have to get God's heart for making disciples. This means we start with being obsessed with Jesus, determined to live our lives as if He was living inside our bodies, because He real...

"Choose today who you will serve..." Joshua 24:15-18. As Pastor Mike Patz gives the parable of the Three Chairs, he shares that Joshua saw the Israelites walk through the Red Sea with his own eyes. Those who came after him did not experience God that way. Do you have a first-hand encounter with Jesus? God only has children; He does not have any grandchildren. It was always his plan for o...

What does the bible say about Grace? Pastor Mike Patz breaks open the Parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15. Just as in the time of Jesus, these days the worldly rule of life is anti-grace. It seems there are either humble people, or arrogant and self-righteous people. So many people are lost and alone, and the only way back home is through the amazing grace of God. Will you be a person of...

Today Pastor Mike Patz asked the question  "why is Evangelism so awkward?" In 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 we are told: " God reconciled us to Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation..." We are called to be ambassadors of Christ to the world. There is no greater cure for the human heart than Jesus Christ! Let your salvation story fuel the fire of evangelism in your world.

The Who We Are series continues with a look at Servant Leadership with Pastor Mike Patz. It may not be who we are yet, but it's how we want to be. We live in a crisis of service, but also a crisis of leadership. Serving is humbling. Leadership is influence. Servant leadership is humbling influence, and we dream of a church full of humble servants leaders.

Who We Are. Pastor Mike Patz continues our series on the Greenhouse Fluencies by expanding Ephesians 4:7-16. "To each one grace has been given..." The gifts given are the apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers... "that we may be a mature body of Christ." Each member must do their part! We call this APEST, and it's the key to a unified, healthy church!

Who We Are: Exploring the Greenhouse Fluencies continues as Pastor Mike Patz sows the seed of Generosity. The answer to fear and lack is not getting more; it's actually generosity. If you belong to Jesus you were born again to the reality of "our Father in heaven", the King. You are invited to become more like our God, being generous on every occasion.

The Who We Are series continues with the question, "what does God expect of us?" Pastor Mike Patz breaks down Micah 6:8, how do we do justice? Our goal is to please the King who calls us to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God.

Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Pastor Mike Patz responds to the recent revival fires burning across the United States. True revival involves worshipping and repentance. It exposes what we treasure. Is Jesus our heart's desire? Revival fires, come down!

As we continue our Who We Are series, Pastor Matt Ulrich brings clarity to our microchurch vision. There is a biblical call to plant churches, but what is Church? The earliest churches were not defined by structure or a pastoral leader. Sundays are not enough! The Church is a worshiping community on mission together. At Greenhouse we call these microchurches. The Church will turn the world upside...

What is the "church"? Pastor Mike Patz continues our Who We Are series with the Green Fluency, featuring Matthew 16 and Acts 2. The irreducible minimum to define "church" is a worshiping community on mission. At Greenhouse, the arm of relationship with God (worship) is yellow. The arms of relationship with each other (community) and with the world (mission) are blue. When you mix yellow with blue...

As we continue our Who We Are series, Pastor Mike Patz exposes the danger of the epidemic of biblical illiteracy. There are promises given to those who abide in the Word of God. At Greenhouse we believe that being fluent in Scripture is a key to living a healthy, godly life. The Word of Life is to your soul what food is to the body. We call our church to be as spiritually fit in God's Word as the...

Our Who We Are series continues as Pastor Mike Patz opens up Ephesians 2:4-9. God is rich in mercy, and His great love for us has made us alive by grace. If there's anything our world needs, it is for God's people to live in the grace He has given. You will not be changed by grace until you are amazed by grace. Amaze us day by day by day!

In today's message in the Who We Are series, Pastor Mike Patz breaks down John 14-16, Jesus' promise of the coming of the Helper. The Holy Spirit has come to help us understand and connect with God! If we want to make much of Jesus, we must make even more of the Holy Spirit.

Today Pastor Matt Ulrich begins our Fluent series with a sermon on God-seeking. To be fluent is to fully understand and do something without thinking about it. In the Great commandment Jesus gave in Mark 12:28-34, we are charged to love God with our everything. We want God to be the supreme object of our love and adoration, for where there is love, there is transformation!

"Seek first the kingdom of God..." (Matthew 6:30). Pastor Byron Williams opens the new year inviting us to prioritize God-seeking. The most precious thing we can give to God is our attention. When we do, we will see Him move in every area of our lives.
