MissionWay Church Sunday Sermons

In a world where sin and darkness seem to be increasing all around us, Christians must ask themselves, "what makes me different?" We also need to wrestle with why we are not just called to have a private faith that never gets involved with other people's lives. When Jesus called us salt and light, He was saying that as Christians, we are supposed to make a difference in the world around us simply...

The Beatitudes end with what seems to be a contradiction. Jesus says that we are blessed when we are peacemakers and when we are persecuted. But why would striving to be a peacemaker lead to persecution? Why would any of the Beatitudes lead to persecution? How can we find peace (or better yet, make peace) in a world that may hate us?

In the Beatitudes, after Jesus deals with the areas of our lives we need to be willing to give up, He moves on to the things we must pursue as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. In this sermon we define what it means to hunger & thirst for righteousness, to be merciful, and to be pure in heart.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says some really hard things to hear and sets the bar for righteousness very high. It's only fitting then that He begins this sermon by reminding us of the importance of what it means to be poor in spirit, mourn over our sin, and walk in meekness.
