July 31, 2025 Matthew 22:1-14
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 22:1-14, presenting
Jesus's parable of the wedding banquet as a rebuke to the religious leaders
who rejected God's invitation to His kingdom. The parable illustrates the
historic rejection of God's invitations by the initially invited, the
subsequent broad invitation to all, and the essential requirement of
accepting God's provided "wedding garment" of righteousness for entry into
His kingdom.

July 17, 2025 Matthew 21:33-46
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:33-46. He presents the
parable of the tenant farmers, where a landowner's servants and son are
abused and killed by the farmers entrusted with his vineyard, symbolizing
Israel's rejection of God's prophets and ultimately His Son. Jesus uses
this to declare that the kingdom of God will be taken from those who reject
Him and given to a people who produce fruit, emphasizing the responsibility
of humans as "tenant farmers" to steward God's entrusted relationships,
resources, and opportunities with justice and righteousness.

July 17, 2025 Matthew 21:28-32
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:28-32. He explains the
parable of the two sons, contrasting the son who says "no" but obeys with
the son who says "yes" but fails to act, emphasizing the importance of
follow-through and genuine obedience to God's will. Jesus applies this by
stating that tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God
before the religious elites because they changed their minds and believed
John's message, whereas the elites gave only lip service.

July 17, 2025 Matthew 21:18-27
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:18-27. He explains
Jesus' cursing of the fig tree as a profound spiritual diagnosis of outward
appearance without inner fruitfulness, contrasting it with God's desire for
a living trust and faith that enables one to do mighty things. He also
discusses Jesus' encounter with the religious elite, highlighting how
Jesus' question about John's authority exposed their hypocrisy and hard
hearts, demonstrating God's loving but direct engagement.

June 26, 2025 Matthew 21:12-17
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:12-17, explaining
Jesus's cleansing of the temple where he drove out buyers and sellers,
overturned money changers' tables, and healed the blind and lame, declaring
the temple a "house of prayer" rather than a "den of thieves". Josh
contrasts the indignant response of the religious leaders to Jesus's
actions and the children's praises with Jesus's reference to Psalm 8, and
he concludes by drawing a parallel to believers as the "temple of the
living God," urging them to allow God to cleanse their lives of things not
aligned with His glory.

June 26, 2025 Matthew 21:1-11
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:1-11. He explains
Jesus's intentional triumphal entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling Old
Testament prophecy as a humble king on a donkey rather than a warhorse.
Josh contrasts the crowd's desire for a political liberator with Jesus's
true mission to save humanity from sin and offer reconciliation with God,
highlighting that Jesus is the exclusive path to the Father.

healing of two blind men near Jericho. He explains that the kingdom of God
responds to desperate faith and humility, particularly when those in
genuine need refuse to be silenced by cultural or religious pressure, and
that Jesus asks questions as an invitation for honest engagement that
facilitates His compassionate and restorative work.

June 12, 2025 Matthew 20:1-16
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 20:1-16, using the
parable of the vineyard workers to explore the principles of the kingdom of
heaven. He explains that God's economy operates on radical grace and
generosity, challenging human tendencies toward merit-based thinking,
comparison, and resentment, as all recipients of God's blessing are
ultimately recipients of unmerited favor.

June 12, 2025 Matthew 19:27-30
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 19:27-30, where Peter
asks what reward the disciples will receive for leaving everything to
follow Jesus. He explains that while "leaving everything" is a heart matter
and a call to radical commitment and surrender of ownership of one's life
to Jesus, not necessarily a physical change of profession or location for
everyone, Jesus promises significant future rewards, including reigning
with Him in the "renewal of all things" (palegenesia) and receiving "a
hundred times more" alongside eternal life.

June 12, 2025 Matthew 19:16-26
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 19:16-26. He teaches
about the rich young man's encounter with Jesus, emphasizing that true
discipleship involves identifying and surrendering one's "one thing" or
idol—which often serves as a source of security, hope, and meaning—and
reorienting one's entire life to Jesus, because while entering the kingdom
of God is impossible with man, all things are possible with God.
