Elder, Jason Banks, continues our series in Matthew. We jump past the sermon on the mount (since we covered that just a few months ago) and pick up in some incredible stories of Jesus healing in ways that reveal His authority, and expose the world to what His Kingdom truly looks like.

It's not always about what is said, but who said it. In this passage we see that Jesus is beginning His kingdom movement by calling disciples to Himself with the authority of the King of the world! If He spoke that way then, He's still speaking with that authority to us today, how will we respond?

Ricky opens us up to a familiar story but calls on us to hear it with fresh ears. What's Jesus' temptation really all about, how can we make sense of our own struggle with sin in light of it, and how does Jesus affect all that?

Alex opens to the very beginning of Jesus' public ministry according to Matthew. In this story, Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist and then something absolutely amazing happens, something that defines everything that will come next; something that defines us still today. Thanks for listening!

Ricky opens up Matthew 3 where John the Baptist steps on the scene to pave the way for Jesus' public ministry. John asks his audience to adjust their lives to the coming Messiah, and we have to ask ourselves if we're ready to adjust as well. Thanks for listening!

Pastor Mark shares about his experience as a CMA missionary in the Philippines and walks through Matthew 28, sharing God's heart for us to go out to the world after we've stepped in to His great love for us.

Alex takes us to our fourth core value, out, by turning to 2 Corinthians where Paul is encouraging the church there to live in their new creation, to see people differently, and to represent Jesus to the nations. Thanks for listening!

Ricky opens up to Romans 12 and shows how the body of Christ has been gifted by God to be committed to one another in unique ways. That we’re interdependent on one another under our unity in Christ.

Alex continues our Core Values series by turning to Galatians 5, where the Holy Spirit is seen to be the One who transforms us and spiritually shapes us into the Image of Christ in response to what Jesus has done on the cross and in the resurrection.

Ricky starts off our series on the church's core values with down. Down is that Jesus came down to us as our savior, it's the gospel! It's what we're all about, so we're so thankful for you taking the time to watch!
