Hockinson Community Church Sermons

In Matthew 27, we follow Jesus from His trial before Pilate to the cross and the tomb. Through His silence, suffering, and willing sacrifice, we see Jesus as the innocent Lamb of God who gave Himself freely in love for us. The question ultimately becomes the one answered by the centurion at the cross: “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

Join us this morning as Pastor Rick brings us a message on Matthew 26

Pastor Rick brings us Matthew 25

In Matthew 24, Jesus prepares His followers for what is to come, warning them not to be deceived or alarmed but to remain faithful and ready. Through His teaching, we see Jesus as a prophet who knows what is coming, a pastor who encourages and prepares His people, and the Son of Man who will return with power and great glory.

In Matthew 22, Jesus faces people who question Him, challenge Him, and even try to trap Him with His words. Yet Jesus responds with wisdom, truth, and love. This message looks at what we can learn from the way Jesus handled difficult conversations, loved even those who opposed Him, and spoke truth without compromise. Ultimately, Matthew 22 points us toward who Jesus really is: our Teacher, our example, the Son of David, and Lord.

What Kind of Man Is This? As a crowd presses in on Jesus, as noise drowns out two men in need of mercy, we learn that Jesus is the kind of man who hears the cry. And our invitation is to become like him.

What must I do to have eternal life? That is the question a young man comes to Jesus with. It seems like a good question to ask, and yet right in the words we see an assumption that Jesus needs to correct. We can fall into the same assumption and ask the same question, and the answer remains the same. But requires open hands.

Life together doesn’t happen by accident. In Matthew 18, Jesus paints a picture of a community shaped by humility, compassion, restoration, and forgiveness, where every person matters because every person belongs to Him. Join us as we discover what it means to live together under the care of the Good Shepherd.

Some of the disciples experience the ultimate “mountain-top” moment. But what are we supposed to do with those moments in our lives? Are we to chase them? Preserve them? Or is there something more?
