Christ For You

How Will God Judge You On The Last Day? | Christ For You

Text: Matthew 25:31–46 | Trinity 26

If the sky split open five minutes from now and you found yourself standing before God Himself, what would you expect Him to say? This message confronts one of the most unsettling and unavoidable questions of the Christian life: What happens when you stand before the judgment throne of God?

Matthew 25 describes the final division of humanity—sheep and goats, blessed and condemned, life and fire. At first glance, this judgment according to works can terrify even the strongest Christian. But look closer. Jesus reveals something breathtaking.

This sermon reveals the true nature of the Last Day, exposes the collapse of self-righteousness, and proclaims the comfort that the One who will judge you is the same One who already stood in your place, bore your sin, and declared your verdict.

Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? | Christ For You

Text: Genesis 1:1 | Trinity 21

Why does anything exist at all? Why is there something rather than nothing? Learn about the most profound question of human existence—and learn that the answer is not found in chance or chaos, but in the eternal love of God. Before God ever said, “Let there be light,” He already saw the cross. He knew the cost of creation, the rebellion of humanity, and the agony that would come—and He still chose to make you.

This message walks through what life looks like without God. And it exposes the collapse of atheistic meaning, the tragedy of living as if God didn’t exist, and the breathtaking truth that the Creator who spoke the universe into being also shed His blood to redeem it.

How God Deals With Our Sorrows| Christ For You

Text: Matthew 5:1-12 | All Saints’ Day 2025

Description:

Where is God when you’re heartbroken? When the prayers don’t fix what’s broken, and the tears don’t stop? Does Jesus really see the sorrow you carry—or is He waiting for you to pull yourself together first?

This All Saints’ Day, we hear Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes as they were meant to be heard—by the grieving, the weary, and the worn out. The Christian life is hard. We mourn, we hunger, we wait. But every sorrow you endure meets its match in the mercy of Christ. The One who entered our pain and carried our cross now blesses His people with comfort that never ends.

Discover how the Savior who suffered all, even death, will turn every tear into joy and every loss into life. Learn why the Beatitudes aren’t commands to keep—but promises to keep you.
