John 20:11-18 // Caleb Jenkins

John 20:11–18 records the deeply personal encounter between Mary Magdalene and the risen Lord. Overcome with grief outside the empty tomb, Mary mistakes jesus for the gardener until he speaks her name, revealing his victory over death. Jesus then sends her to declare his resurrection to the disciples, demonstrating how he transforms sorrow into hope and commissions his followers to share the gospel message. This sermon explores how jesus meets us in our sorrow and gives us a clear purpose.

Matthew 16:13-20 // Tom Nelson

Matthew 16:13–20 records a pivotal moment in Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is, followed by Simon Peter’s bold confession that he is the Messiah. Jesus affirms Peter, revealing that this truth came directly from the Father, and promises to build his church on this solid foundation so that the gates of hell will not overcome it. He also grants kingdom authority through the keys of heaven. This sermon breaks down what it means to acknowledge Jesus as King and stand firm on the rock of his identity.

Luke 6:43–49 // Ben Beasley

Luke 6:43–49 contrasts healthy trees with bad trees and wise builders with foolish ones. Jesus teaches that a tree is known by its fruit, explaining that the words and actions that flow out of us reflect what is stored in our hearts. He concludes his sermon on the mount with the parable of two builders: the one who hears his words and puts them into practice builds a house on solid rock that withstands severe floods, while the one who disobeys builds on sand without a foundation. This sermon breaks down how obedience to Christ builds an unshakable life.

Haggai 2:1-9 // Gabe Coyle

Have you ever looked at what you are building or working on and felt like it completely pales in comparison to the past? In this study of Haggai 2:1-9, we look at a community of people who were discouraged because their new temple looked like nothing compared to the glory of Solomon's original temple. God meets them in their disappointment with a powerful command: be strong and work, because my spirit remains with you. This sermon explores how God promises to shake the heavens and the earth, bring the wealth of nations into his house, and make the future glory of his people far greater than anything they had seen before. If you feel discouraged by small beginnings or weak results, this message will give you the strength to keep going.

Jonah 4:1-11 // Brooks Nesse

What happens when God extends mercy to the very people you want him to judge? In this study of Jonah 4:1-11, we look at the final, messy chapter of Jonah's story. Instead of celebrating a massive spiritual turning point in Nineveh, Jonah becomes furious because God is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with love. This sermon explores our own struggles with bitterness, how we can fall into the trap of wanting mercy for ourselves but judgment for others, and the lesson of the fading plant that God uses to challenge Jonah's perspective. Join us as we look into the mirror of this passage and confront the radical nature of God's love for a broken world.
