In Matthew 8–10, Jesus doesn’t just proclaim the kingdom, he demonstrates it. Through healing, deliverance, and mission, the power and authority of the king become unmistakable. In this sermon, we unpack what Jesus’ authority means for modern disciples: trust his power and sovereignty, submit to his reign, and bring the news of his kingdom to the world.

Jesus opens the sermon on the mount by flipping our expectation of "the good life" upside down. In his kingdom, the poor in spirit inherit the kingdom, the mourners are comforted, and the persecuted are blessed. In this sermon, Brian walks through Matthew 5, showing how the promise of Christ's kingdom subverts our expectations of what blessing is, and transforms our motivation from one of anxiety and fear to one of love and faith.

Paul writes so the church would “know how one ought to behave in the household of God,” which he calls “a pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:14–16). We explore what it means for the church to be God’s family, how we hold up the truth about Jesus, and why the ancient confession—“He was manifested in the flesh… taken up in glory”—still shapes our everyday lives.

In John 17:14-19, Jesus prays the night before the cross: not that his disciples would be removed from the world, but that they’d be kept from the evil one, sanctified in the truth, and sent into the world. This message explores what it means to be “not of the world,” how God actually makes us holy, and why Jesus sends ordinary people into hard places—because he goes before us and with us.
