Quoting Isaiah, this passage reveals who Jesus truly is: the Father’s beloved Son, the gentle and compassionate Judge, and the hope of the nations. He doesn’t crush the weak or silence the struggling—He restores the b...
In this message from Matthew 11:28–12:14, we explore Jesus’ powerful invitation to true rest. The Pharisees turned God’s good law into a crushing burden—but Jesus reveals that He is Lord of the Sabbath and the giver of real, soul-deep rest. If you’re weary from trying harder, doing better, or carrying spiritual weight you were never meant to bear, this passage reminds us: rest isn’t found in a program, performance, or self-improvement plan—it’s found in a Person. “Come to me… and I will give ...

Do not be afraid! After warning his disciples of the danger they may face proclaiming the gospel, Jesus reassures us with the same message he gave to his original disciples: do not be afraid. Join us as we finish Jesus' evangelism instructions with 5 reasons we should not be afraid as we proclaim the good news of the kingdom.
As Jesus prepares his disciples to share the good news of salvation, he doesn't sugarcoat the negative, hostile reaction that some will have. Although Christians will be hated just as Jesus was hated, we should strive to be blameless in our conduct, trusting in our proclamation, and confident in the presence and movement of God.

In one day, Jesus saved two daughters in desperate need of healing. Join us in Matthew 9:18-26 as we witness the tender compassion of Jesus next to his overwhelming victory over death itself.
How often have we found our lives lacking and tried to fill them with a new career, New Year's resolutions, a vacation, new relationships, or new habits? Jesus reveals that we don't need to add something new to our lives; we need to be radically changed from the inside out. Jesus is the new wine of Matthew 9:14-17, offering us a new life that is sweet, eternal, fulfilling and abundant.
After Jesus miraculously heals a paralytic and forgives him of his sin, Jesus shocks the religious leaders of his day by inviting a despised tax collector to be his disciple. More than that, he's then seen sharing a meal with sinners and tax collectors! Join us in Matthew 9:9-13 as we rejoice that Jesus came for the sick and for sinners and prepare ourselves to do the same for those around us.
"Your sins are forgiven." Those are powerful words to hear, but how can we know we've truly been forgiven? In today's text, Jesus shows his authority to forgive sin and heal its effects.
We often want to see revival. In our pews, in our streets, in our nation, around the world. We long for good times of the past, lament what we see around us, and look to God to do something new. Join us in 2 Chronicles 29-31 as we witness one of Israel's greatest revivals and examine how we can apply that today.
Jesus proclaims freedom for the captives and healing for the sick. In this passage, Jesus demonstrates his authority by rescuing two men imprisoned by darkness and rejected by men.
How does God want to use the storms in our lives to reveal Himself to us? How can faithful Christians be obedient to Jesus and still experience chaos and tragedy? Follow along in Matthew 8:23-27 as the disciples in the storm come to know Jesus in a way they never had before.
What does it cost to follow Jesus? One man doesn't realize the steep cost that comes with following Jesus while another doesn't know what he's missing by putting Jesus on the back burner. In today's sermon, we'll see that Jesus is worth putting first in our lives, no matter the cost.
Mary knew, but the disciples didn't. How can we know?
