MissionWay Church Sunday Sermons

Matthew 28:1–10 clearly lays out the truth that Jesus Christ rose from the dead 3 days after his crucifixion. This message focuses on three responses to the resurrection: Come and See the truth of Christ through His Word, Bow and Worship the risen Savior, and Go and Tell the good news with gospel urgency. Because Jesus conquered death, we have hope, forgiveness, and a message the world needs to he...

The burial of Jesus is a vital part of the gospel story, demonstrating the fulfillment of God's promises, confirming the reality of Christ's death, and preparing the way for His resurrection. Through the faithful example of Joseph of Arimathea and the two Marys, contrasted with the hardened hearts of the chief priests and Pharisees, we are challenged to trust Christ, stand firm in faith, and remem...

Luke 15 contains three stories of lost things - a sheep, a coin, and two sons. Jesus told the stories to two very different audiences. We will explore how Jesus used the stories to reveal the way God extends His mercy and grace to all who would receive these gifts. The third story has no conclusion. It was as if Jesus was offering an invitation, hoping for a response from both audiences ... and fr...

The death of Jesus is among the most discussed event in all of Christianity. So much so that it can normalize this event leading to a possible desensitization. In these verses, Matthew attempted to demonstrate that Jesus of Nazareth is the long-awaited Messiah, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, and the rightful King of Israel. Written in the 50s-60s AD, the Gospel aimed to solidify the fa...

In this passage, Jesus is mocked, beaten, and crucified by Roman soldiers and hostile crowds. Though He possesses all authority and power, He willingly endures humiliation and suffering in order to accomplish the Father's plan of redemption. The mocking reveals the depth of human sin, while the cross reveals the depth of God's love and the cost of our salvation. Jesus remains faithful to His missi...

In this passage, the guilt of every person involved is exposed: Pilate refuses the truth, the religious leaders reject their Messiah, and the crowd chooses Barabbas over Christ. Yet in the middle of humanity’s sin and rebellion, we see the beauty of the Gospel: the guilty go free because the innocent Savior takes their place. In this sermon, we will explore how people attempt to avoid or silence t...

As Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate, falsely accused and facing death, His remarkable silence reveals His complete trust in the Father’s sovereign plan. While the chief priests rage with accusations and Pilate marvels at His composure, Jesus refuses to defend Himself, willingly submitting to the path that would lead to the cross. As we behold Christ in His suffering, we are challenged to trust G...

In Week 9 of our “Road to the Cross” series, we examine Matthew 27:1-10 and the tragic story of Judas Iscariot. Judas felt deep remorse over betraying Jesus, confessed his wrongdoing, and even returned the silver, yet his sorrow still led to death. Why? Because there is a difference between worldly sorrow and godly repentance. This sermon contrasts Judas’ despair with Peter’s repentance and warns...

In Week 8 of Road to the Cross, we look at Gospel of Matthew 26:69–75 and Peter’s denial of Jesus. This story is a sobering reminder of sin’s deceit and the surprising power of grace. Peter’s fall didn’t happen overnight; it was the result of a slow drift that warns us to take sin seriously. Yet in his bitter repentance, we also see hope: when we behold our suffering Savior, true change begins. Th...

As Jesus stands trial before the religious leaders, false accusations fly and justice is ignored. Yet in the face of it all, He remains silent. Why? In this passage, we see that Christ’s silence was not weakness, but trust in the Father’s sovereign plan. The innocent One is condemned so that the guilty might be declared righteous—calling us to both rejoice in the Gospel and learn to trust God even...

This sermon on Matthew 26:47–56 highlights how, even in betrayal and chaos, God’s sovereign plan unfolds perfectly through the contrasting responses of Judas, Peter, and Jesus. Judas seeks his own gain, Peter tries to take control, but Jesus willingly submits—demonstrating that God’s purposes cannot be thwarted by human intention or intervention. The message calls believers to trust God’s plan rat...

Join us as we celebrate 20 years of God’s faithfulness at MissionWay Church! In this special anniversary service, we look back with gratitude for all the Lord has done—and look ahead with renewed purpose. Walking through Philippians 3:12–16, we’re reminded that while we celebrate the past, we are not called to live in it. Like Paul, we press on—forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to...

In Matthew 26:36–46, we enter the Garden of Gethsemane and witness Jesus in deep anguish as He prepares to go to the cross. As the weight of bearing sin and facing the Father’s wrath presses in, Jesus responds not by turning away, but by falling on His face in prayer and submitting fully to the will of God: “Not my will, but Yours.” In this powerful passage, we see both the depth of Christ’s suffe...

In a world full of suffering and empty platitudes, true hope is found only in the risen Jesus Christ. According to 1 Peter 1:3–5, our salvation is entirely God’s work, given by His mercy—not our effort—and secured through the Resurrection of Christ. Because the tomb is empty, we have a living hope, an eternal inheritance, and a salvation that is guarded by God Himself. No matter our circumstances,...

In Matthew 26:31–35, Jesus predicts the disciples’ scattering and Peter’s denial, revealing both the weakness of even His closest followers and His sovereign control over what is to come. Though confident in their own strength, the disciples are shown to be prone to wander—just as we are—often drifting not in a moment, but over time through pride and self-reliance. Yet even in predicting their fai...

In this sermon, we explore the Last Supper as the first Communion, emphasizing its profound significance for believers today. Jesus points His disciples beyond the Passover of the past, focusing on the cross, the new covenant, and the coming Heavenly Kingdom, inviting us to commune with Him and one another with hearts of reflection, gratitude, and hope. As we approach the Lord’s Table, we are call...

Matthew 26:14-25 contrasts Judas' rejection with Mary’s costly worship, and reminds us that proximity to Christ alone does not save. It emphasizes God’s sovereignty, showing that even human evil and betrayal were woven into His redemptive plan, ultimately pointing to Jesus as the True Passover Lamb. The message calls believers to trust God’s control over their own trials and to respond with repent...

In Matthew 26:1–13, as the road to the cross begins, Jesus predicts His death while a woman (Mary) anoints Him with costly perfume in an act of sacrificial worship. While the disciples miss the point and the religious leaders reject the Savior, Mary demonstrates that true devotion to Christ is never wasted, no matter the cost. Her example calls believers to wholehearted worship of the One who gave...

Colossians 3:16-17 shows us that worship is meant to be a true response to God and His Word. Worship flows from the Word, happens in community, is directed to the Lord, and extends beyond a song to every area of life.

This week we conclude Jesus’ Olivet Discourse with one of His most searching teachings: the separation of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:31–46. Here, Jesus reminds us that while salvation is by grace alone, genuine faith will produce visible fruit through love and service. We’ll explore what it truly means to serve “the least of these,” and how Christ so closely identifies with His people t...

In Matthew 25:14–30, Jesus calls His followers to faithful stewardship as we await His return. This message challenges us to examine how we are using the time, talents, and resources God has entrusted to us and encourages us to joyfully invest our lives in what matters eternally. May we live in such a way that we one day hear our King say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus teaches that His return will come at an unexpected time and that only those truly prepared by genuine faith will enter His kingdom. Though all ten appeared ready, only five had the necessary oil, showing that outward religion and good works cannot substitute for true belief in the gospel. The parable warns that many who profess Christ may be shut out, urgin...

Jesus makes it clear: no one knows the day or hour of His return—and that’s the point. In Matthew 24:36–51, Jesus shifts from signs and timelines to a call for constant readiness and faithful obedience. This sermon confronts our fascination with predicting the end and refocuses us on living faithfully today. The question isn’t when Christ will return, but how He will find us when He does.

In this week’s message from The Last Days According to Jesus, we explore Matthew 24:29-35 and see how the words of Christ are always vindicated—even in the midst of judgment and tribulation. Many skeptics have claimed Jesus is a false prophet, but history proves His warnings about Jerusalem and the Temple came true. In these verses we will discover how His promises give comfort, how the Gospel goe...

What did Jesus mean by the “abomination of desolation,” and why does it matter for His people today? In this message, we wrestle with one of the most debated passages in all of Scripture as Jesus prepares His disciples for coming tribulation—specifically the events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, while also clarifying confusion about His future return. Far from being written to...
