Christ Church of Mt Airy Sermons

Are you believing the lie that God’s provision is not enough? Work and be generous. He provides all we need, through Christ, so that we can generously love and care for others.

We see that adultery is more than avoiding sex outside of marriage. God calls us to turn from all forms of sexual sin and from giving our hearts to anything above Him. Lust begins in the heart, but Jesus meets us with grace, forgiveness, and the power to change. In Him, we can be honest, repent, and find protection for our marriages and our souls.

Murder begins with the anger we carry in our hearts. We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves, for God made everyone in His own image. Jesus kept this command for us as our substitute, taking our sin and giving us His life.

Matt unpacks the 5th Commandment, the accompanying promise and curse, and how Jesus Christ fulfilled this law-doing everything to the glory and honor of God.

When we remember the greatness of God’s name, our lives reflect His strength, kindness, and power. Through Jesus, we’re freed to live in a way that shows His true worth.

God commands us to worship Him alone, for He is a jealous God who knows our hearts naturally make idols from what we can see and touch. But Jesus, the image of the invisible God, frees us from the curse of idolatry. Through the Holy Spirit, we are guided to worship by faith and hear the Lord’s Words in our hearts.

When we, believers under the New Covenant, look at the Ten Commandments through the lens of Jesus's fulfillment of the Law, we better understand the first and greatest commandment. God is Yahweh. He is the One true God who rescues His people first, then leads them to live for Him with undivided hearts.

The Law and the Prophets— indeed, the entire Old Testament—bear witness to Jesus. We are called to do and teach what He commands, for “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”

The Law was glorious but has been surpassed in glory. The Law couldn’t change your heart; it brought death, but the New Covenant in Christ gives eternal righteousness and life. Behold Jesus!
