Morningview Global Missions Conference 2022 In this sermon, Matthew Emadi considers the divinity and humanity of Christ and the enthronement of Christ in heaven as the Messiah. The goal of missions is the glory of risen and reigning Christ. Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-6

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Pastor Jon English explains how Paul serves as our model for running the race well in the Christian life. Self-control, discipline, and determination are necessary for finishing well, and Christ enables us to do it all.

There were many other disciples beyond the 12 who followed Jesus and learned from Him during the time of His earthly ministry. Here in Luke 10, Jesus sent 72 of them ahead to make one more great evangelistic push in the cities and villages He would visit along His way to Jerusalem. As we study His instructions to them, we are reminded that as those united with Christ, we are by nature to be a miss...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, Pastor Jon English explains Paul’s disposition (a humble willingness to sacrifice), his inclination (to adapt for the good of others), and his motivation (gospel advance and gospel blessing). He also explains what it means to be “not under the law of God, but the law of Christ.”

Here in Luke 9, the disciples of Jesus were in a season of rough roads. They were being tempted by the Messianic fervor of the crowds, they pridefully argued over who would be the greatest in Christ's kingdom, and they were suspicious of any ministry outside their little group. As we finish chapter 9 of Luke, we will see that the struggles faced by the disciples are the same struggles we face on t...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 9:1-18, Pastor Jon English explains Paul’s defense of his own apostleship and his own rights, and then shows how Paul is our example, pointing to Christ, for how to love others by laying down our rights for the good of others and the progress of the gospel.

How would you define “Greatness?” The way the world defines it is very different than how the Bible defines it. In this passage, where Jesus is acting to correct and guide His disciples in godliness and humility, we find that true greatness is defined by Christ, modeled in ministry by receiving the lowly, and characterized by a kingdom mentality. Scripture: Luke 9:43b-50 Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merith...

Prayer is one of the most basic spiritual disciplines of the Christian life, and if we are honest, it is one we struggle with the most. This sermon explores the command to pray, but seeks to move us from duty to delight as we embrace the incredible privilege of prayer and all the blessings we experience as we commune with God through Christ. Scripture: Colossians 4:2 Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 8:4-13, Pastor Jon English explains the folly of idolatry, the call of love, and the dynamics between weaker and stronger brothers & sisters within the church.

Pastoral Intern Robert examines what Christ instructs about approaching the Lord in prayer humbly, understanding our justification is through faith in Christ, and not our works according to the Law. Scripture: Luke 18:9-14

Paul is zealous and ready to go to all who were in Rome. He knows the power of the gospel unto salvation, which has given him strength to be unashamed of the person of Christ. Preacher: Pastor Jordan Nelson Scripture: Romans 1:16-17

Following the transfiguration, Jesus and three of the disciples descended from Mt. Miron to be met by a multitude in turmoil. Out of the crowd stepped a father who begged for Jesus to heal his demon possessed son. In His response of both rebuking the crowd and healing the boy, Jesus displayed the majesty of God on the plain just as it had been displayed on the mountain the day before. Preacher: Dr...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 8:1-3, Pastor Jon English explains how Christians are called to love our brothers and sisters well through the prudent and careful use of our liberties, rather than demanding our own rights.

This is the second sermon from Hebrews 10. In the first sermon, from verses 32-34, we explored the importance of looking back and remembering all the ways Christ has shown Himself faithful to bring us through our previous trials. This second sermon encourages believers to face the future with confidence, trusting in the promises of God, looking toward the return of Christ, and living lives where w...

Over and over again in the New Testament, believers are admonished to “remember” – to remember gospel truth, to remember God's faithfulness, to remember Christ's promises and His sovereign work of sanctification in us. In this first of a two-part series from Hebrews 10, we see why it is important for us as Christians to recall and reflect upon our previous sufferings. Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew

Paul is wanting his readers to understand that they have a new position of being dead to sin. That they should not go on sinning, because they are in fact dead to sin. Preacher: Jordan Nelson Scripture: Romans 6:1-2

Christmas is a dark and hard time for many people. Many struggle with the recent loss of loved ones, strained finances, pressure on marriages and parenting, loneliness, and a host of other issues. As we return to Matthew's narrative of Christ's infancy, we see that Christ's incarnation was an occasion of great hostility, grief, and exile. How Jesus was received in the world shows us exactly why He...

As we explore this part of Matthew's birth narrative, we find depicted three kinds of kings. There are kings who leave everything to pursue and worship the Lord. There is a king who sees the Messiah as a threat and deceptively seeks to preserve His own power and dominion. And then there is the King of Kings who, even as a toddler, is worthy of all praise, adoration, and devotion. Preacher: Dr. Sha...

In this sermon from Malachi 1-2:16, Pastor Jon English explains how God demands true, heart-level worship, and how faithfulness to God’s covenant requires faithfulness to our marriage covenant.

The covenant of redemption, planned in eternity past between Father and Son, dawned in creation when Israel was under the boot of Roman and Herod the Great ruled with an iron fist over God's people. The incarnation of our Lord would come through some of the most unlikely means imaginable – a young carpenter named Joseph and his betrothed, Mary. In this sermon, we explore how God revealed His plan...

As Jesus had now begun to prepare His disciples for His upcoming sacrifice, He took three of the men with Him up to the top of Mt. Miron to experience the visage of His glorified self. Peter responded by expressing his desire to erect three tents for Christ, Moses, and Elijah and live with them in this moment of glory. His earnest desire is that of all true disciples, yet we must realize that the...

Who is Jesus? How we answer this question reveals the state of our heart as well as our destination in eternity. Jesus asked His own disciples this question at a critical point in His ministry, and as they acknowledged that He was the “Christ of God,” Jesus began preparing them for His work of redemption and the true path of discipleship. Scripture: Luke 9:18-27 Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew

2 Peter 1:11 Pastor Jordan Nelson We are accepted into the eternal kingdom of God based on the merits of Christ alone. However, there will be some of us who are scarcely saved and others who have been growing in holiness all of their lives who will be richly welcomed in. They will be some who have great assurance as they leave from this life and enter into eternity.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, Pastor Jon English explains Paul’s principle of living where God has called us, resumes tracing a biblical theology of singleness throughout redemptive history, and explains how Paul wants all believers (married or not) to live life in light of the end.
