Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43
Matthew 12:1-14 In Matthew 12, we encounter a powerful confrontation between rigid religious rules and radical restoration. The Pharisees had taken the beautiful principle of Sabbath rest—a gift meant to remind us that God provides and sustains even when we're inactive—and weaponized it with thousands of additional laws designed for power and control.
Matthew 11:28-30 We all know what it feels like to be bone-tired—mentally drained from endless decisions, physically exhausted from the demands of life, emotionally spent from the same conversations on repeat. But there's something deeper than all of these: soul exhaustion.
Matthew 10:16
What if the very animals we'd never choose as teachers hold the most crucial lessons for our spiritual journey? This message takes us deep into Matthew 10:16, where Jesus uses four startling creatures—sheep, wolves, serpents, and doves—to prepare us for life on mission.
Matthew 8:1-4,14-17; 9:1-8 When we face illness, pain, or physical suffering, we're confronted with profound questions about God's power and compassion. Through three healing accounts from Matthew 8 and 9, we discover a transformative truth: the answer to our suffering isn't found by staring at sickness, but by observing the healer.
Matthew 7:15 In Matthew 7:15, Jesus delivers a stark warning that cuts through our comfortable assumptions: “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravaging wolves.” This isn't about obvious enemies of the faith—it's about voices that sound Christian, use biblical language, and address real problems we face, but ultimately lead us away from the true gospel.
Matthew 6:19-34 What if the greatest barrier to peace in our lives isn't our circumstances, but our inability to stop replaying the past and rehearsing the future? This powerful exploration of Matthew 6:25-34 confronts us with a challenging truth: worry isn't just thinking about something repeatedly—it's functionally not trusting that God is in control.
Matthew 5:1-48 In Matthew 5:14-16, we encounter one of Jesus' most challenging declarations: we are the light of the world. Not just Jesus himself, but us—his followers. This message invites us to grapple with what it means to carry divine light into a world that often feels overwhelmingly dark.
Matthew 1:20-21
What are we doing here? This profound question sits at the heart of the Christmas story in ways we often overlook. Before the manger scene we celebrate, there was confusion, uncertainty, and a man named Joseph trying to make sense of God's mysterious work. Matthew chapter one takes us into that tension ...
Matthew 4:19
This message takes us to the shores of Galilee, where Jesus interrupts the ordinary lives of fishermen with an extraordinary invitation. Through the lens of Matthew 4:18-20, we explore three powerful verbs that define our relationship with Christ: follow, make, and fish.
Matthew 3:1-6
Sometimes we see things but don't fully understand what we're looking at until we draw closer. This message takes us into the wilderness of Judea where John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, and invites us to look more deeply at the layers of meaning woven throughout this pivotal moment in Scripture.
Deuteronomy 31:1-6
What does it mean to grow older in faith, and how do we embrace each season of life without fear or regret? This message takes us to Deuteronomy 31, where Moses stands at 120 years old, physically capable yet obediently stepping aside as God calls Joshua to lead Israel into their next chapter.
Deuteronomy 30:11-14
Have you ever looked at someone else's faith journey and thought, "I could never do that"? This powerful exploration of Deuteronomy 30:11-14 challenges the lie we've all believed at some point—that loving God with our whole heart is simply beyond our reach.
Deuteronomy 28:2
We all carry the weight of decisions that have led to devastating consequences. From Adam's choice in the garden to Moses striking the rock in anger, Scripture reminds us that even the greatest leaders made choices that dishonored God.
Deuteronomy 14:22-23
What if the secret to a flourishing life isn't found in throwing off all restrictions, but in embracing the beautiful rhythm God has woven into creation? This exploration of Deuteronomy 14 invites us to reconsider everything we think we know about freedom, structure, and spiritual vitality.
Deuteronomy 6:5
At the heart of Deuteronomy 6:4-5 lies one of scripture's most profound invitations: to go all in with God. Known as the Shema, this ancient declaration—"The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength"—has echoed through thousands of years of Jewish and Christian faith.
Deuteronomy 2:7
We stand at a crossroads every single day, facing choices between what is right and what is wrong. This message takes us into Deuteronomy chapter 2, where Moses delivers one of history's longest pep talks to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land after 40 years of wilderness wandering.
Acts 4:32-37
In this powerful message, we explore the transformative power of generosity as exemplified in Acts 4:32-33. The early church's radical approach to sharing and community challenges our modern notions of ownership and individualism.
Luke 19:1-10
In this message, we're reminded of the transformative power of grace through the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19. This short man's encounter with Jesus teaches us that no matter how rich or successful we are, there's always something missing that only Christ can fill.
In this exploration of stewardship, we're challenged to reframe our perspective on possessions and purpose. The parable of the dishonest manager in Luke 16:1-13 serves as a springboard for a deeper understanding of how we handle God's resources.
