May 21, 2017 Matthew // Week 35
Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: May 21, 2017
Text: Matthew 13:53-58
In colleges and universities around North America, homecoming is a big deal met with much fanfare. Not so with Jesus. In this message we journey with Jesus back to His hometown of Nazareth where He is received, not with applause, but offence and wilful disbelief.

May 14, 2017 Matthew // Week 34
Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: May 14, 2017
Text: Matthew 13:44-52
What does the "good life" look like to you? To borrow from James K. A. Smith, what does human flourishing encompass? In this message Jesus, through His ongoing use of parables, reveals the worth, value and all-encompassing nature of the kingdom of heaven and why it's worthy giving up everything for.

Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: April 30, 2017
Text: Matthew 13:1-23
Few things are more associated with Jesus than His parables. This message addresses what parables are, the role they serve, and why they are important. Additionally, what do we need to discover in the parable of the Sower, specifically, what makes someone 'good soil'?

April 23, 2017 Matthew // Week 31
Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: April 23, 2017
Text: Matthew 12:38-50
Hard heartedness is a topic that comes up often in the Bible. It's seen prominently with Pharaoh but continues on with the disciples and the Pharisees thereafter. What are the earmarks of hardheartedness - especially the more subtle ones - and how do we overcome it? That's what this sermon addresses.

April 16, 2017 Matthew // Week 30 (Easter Sunday)
Speaker: Matt Menzel
Date: April 16, 2017
Text: Matthew 28
In this sermon we will take some time to look at the difference between holding to the resurrection of Jesus as theory versus reality. What does it mean to walk in the power of the resurrection today? And what differences should we be expecting this to make in our lives?

Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: April 14, 2017
Text: Matthew 27:15-26
In this Good Friday message we dive into the exchange of Jesus for Barabbas and consider how we too are like Pilate, the Crowd and Barabbas himself and therefore, how we all need Jesus.

Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: April 9, 2017

April 02, 2017 Matthew // Week 28
Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: April 2, 2017
Text: Matthew 12:33-37
In last week's passage we were witness to the most horrific words ever uttered: Jesus does what He does by way of Satan. In this week's text Jesus sheds light on how our words not only bear witness to who we are but why we utter them in the first place.

March 26, 2017 Matthew // Week 27
Speaker: Norm Funk
Date: March 26, 2017
Text: Matthew 12:22-32
We are approaching a culminating point in Matthew where not only is Jesus' popularity reaching a zenith but so too is His opposition. In this message we tackle the accusation of the Pharisees who concluded that Jesus did what He did by the power of Satan and consider the relevance for us today.
