John 1:1–14 lifts our eyes to the wonder of Christmas: the eternal Word became flesh and revealed the very glory of God. Focusing on verse 14, we see that the One who created all things came to dwell among us—full of grace and truth—and invites us to behold His glory and rejoice in it.

Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with a vivid picture of two houses facing the same storms. One stands, the other falls. In this message, Pastor Jonathan Lee explains how our foundation—Christ and His Word—determines whether we stand firm when trials come and in the final storm of judgment.

In Matthew 7:21–23, Jesus warns that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” truly belongs to Him. This message explores the difference between knowing  about  Jesus and being truly  known  by Him through the new birth.

In this message, Jesus warns us to be on guard against false teachers who appear harmless but lead people away from the truth. Their character and teaching will ultimately be revealed by their fruit—good trees bear good fruit, and bad trees bear bad fruit. This sermon walks through four biblical tests to help believers discern truth from deception and remain anchored in the gospel.

Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a call to choose. Two roads—one easy, one hard. One leads to destruction, the other to life. The question is: which road are you on?

Jesus calls us to pray and draw near to God—not to treat prayer as a way to get whatever we want, but as an invitation to align our desires with His. In this message, we’ll see how true prayer seeks God’s will and advances His kingdom.

Jesus tells us not to worry about the needs of this life as we are more valuable than the birds of the air and the Lillies of the field.

Jesus talks about where we should be our investment in and that it is not in stuff but in the eternal things of the Lord.

Jesus addresses the motive behind the spiritual discipline of fasting. Do we do it to be noticed by men or to glorify God.

The last petition of the Lord's Prayer is dealing with temptation. The Christian will be tempted, our prayer is the strength to not give in.

The Lord's Prayer reminds us of our need and dependence on God for forgiveness of our sin but true forgiven people also forgive.

Jesus gives another example to show that we must guard even our righteous deeds, like prayer, because they can come from sinful motives. This reveals the depth of our sin: we can fool others and even ourselves, but we cannot fool God

We are continuing through the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus addresses even the good deeds done with wrong motives have no reward. The motive matters in what we do.

Jesus addresses how do we respond when we have been wronged? The heart that has been changed by the gospel guards against the knee jerk reaction of wanting to retaliate.

Jesus talks about our words matter. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. The Christian should be known as a truth teller.

Jesus tells us that lust is the heart issue. One must look at a heart change dealing with sin. Jesus is the only way!

Jesus gives his credentials on what he will be teaching. All of Scripture points to him and he has all authority.

You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Let our example of who Jesus is and what he has done for us through his life, death, and resurrection.

Happy Resurrection Sunday! The Resurrection matters and we see how one can have eternal life.

Jesus continues with the beatitudes that build off the previous one. What is a peacemaker as what Jesus is referring to here. Only Jesus can make us truly at peace (Rom. 5:1).

The Beatitudes serve as questions for us to ask ourselves- How are we? Jesus confronts the outward religious person to point us to what God cares about, the heart.

Continue through the beatitudes, we read the words of Jesus of what matters in this life. In order to be truly happy, one must be holy, right with God.

Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. In this Beatitude, Jesus is speaking of a spiritual humility. What does this look like? Find out in this message.

The second beatitude states, blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. How are we comforted? What does this mourning mean that Jesus is referring to? Find out in this message.
