"The Treasure of the Kingdom" | Matthew 13:44-46 

We explore the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price in Matthew 13. Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is worth giving up everything with joy because of the surpassing value of knowing Him.

This sermon invites us to examine what we treasure most and challenges us to see Jesus as our greatest joy and ultimate treasure. From the examples of Peter, John, Matthew, Zacchaeus, Mary, the early church, Paul, and Stephen, we see what it looks like to joyfully give up everything for the sake of Christ.

Key points:

Joy is found in seeing Jesus as the treasure.

The kingdom of God is not a loss, but pure gain.

Earthly treasures fade, but Jesus remains forever.

When Christ is our treasure, fear, anxiety, and burdens lose their grip.

Whether you’re burdened, anxious, or longing for more, this message is a reminder that Jesus is the treasure that never fails.

In this message, Pastor Kurt walks us through Jesus’ Parable of the Sower in Luke 8:4–15, challenging us to consider the condition of our hearts when we hear God's Word. Are we hardened, shallow, distracted—or are we receptive, honest, and ready to bear fruit?

Through this simple but powerful teaching, we’re reminded that fruitfulness in the Christian life begins with a heart that is open to receive and obey the truth. Whether you feel worn down, choked by worry, or hungry for more, this message invites you to ask: What kind of soil is my heart today?

You are Unbound, Now Go!

Resurrection Sunday

As we enter Holy Week, this powerful Palm Sunday message invites us to reflect on the shortest—and one of the most profound—verses in Scripture: Jesus wept.

We’re reminded that Jesus wasn’t forced to the cross. He went willingly. He went to where He wept—over the brokenness of the world, over the death of a friend, over the sin that separates us from God. And He still goes there today.

Jesus wept because of us — our sin made the cross necessary.

Jesus wept for us — out of love and compassion, to save us.

Jesus weeps with us — in our pain, our sorrow, and our suffering.

From the road to Bethany to the hill of Golgotha, Jesus chose to enter our pain so that we could be redeemed. He didn’t avoid the tears—He embraced them. Because He loves you.

Whether you're hurting, seeking, or celebrating today, let this message draw you nearer to the Savior who weeps with you—and who rose for you.

“Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5

Resurrection is coming. Easter is near. Let hope rise.

The Shadow of Death

A Praying Church

Pastor Kurt reminds us of the ultimate division that will occur when Jesus returns — those who know Him and those who do not. As followers of Christ, we are called to live out our faith with compassion, bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit and sharing the good news of salvation.

If you’re a Christian, this message encourages you to step into your calling, praying for the lost and being a worker in God’s harvest field. If you’re unsure about your faith or have not yet surrendered to Jesus, today is the day of salvation. No excuse will stand on the day of judgment, but God's grace is available to all who believe.

Join us as we reflect on the mission of Jesus, the urgency of sharing the gospel, and the incredible hope found in Him.

Key Topics:

The separation of sheep and goats

Living with compassion and bearing fruit

The urgency of salvation

Responding to the call to share the gospel

Are you living on mission, or just living comfortably? We are in the book of Acts to see how the early church moved in bold faith—and how we’re called to do the same today. Hebrews 12 reminds us to throw off distractions and fix our eyes on Jesus, but Acts shows us what it looks like to actually go and live it out!

Here’s how we live on mission:

• Walk by the Spirit daily.
• Spend time in God’s Word.
• Pray continually.
• Share the gospel with someone.
• Serve and love others intentionally.
• Step into the ministry God has for you.
•  Find joy—even in trials.

The early church in Acts didn’t wait for the "perfect moment"—they just went in faith. And so should we!

Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions? Like you’re meant for more but not sure what that really looks like? In this message, we talk about what it means to truly shine for Jesus—not just at church, but in your home, at work, at the grocery store, or even at the ball field.

Jesus didn’t save us to play it safe. He calls us to live boldly, love freely, and share His glory everywhere we go—whether that’s across the street or across the world. So let’s stop dimming our light and start living with real purpose!
