In Matthew 22:34–46, Jesus is questioned by religious leaders seeking to trip Him up about the greatest commandment in the law. Through His response and His counter-question regarding the Messiah, Jesus reveals that loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind is inseparable from sacrificial love for our neighbor. But this command calls for much deeper action than surface-level politeness or head knowledge. Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to transform your heart so you can love others through presence, loyalty, and humility?

Scripture: Matthew 22:34–46

In Matthew 23:1–12, Jesus addresses the crowd and His disciples to confront religious hypocrisy—warning against teachers who acknowledge God with their lips but fail to practice what they preach. Jesus reveals that true discipleship is proven by how we live rather than what we say. Calling His followers to an audience of One, Jesus outlines that practicing His way requires heeding God's Word, humbling ourselves, and serving others. But Jesus’ challenge reaches beyond the Pharisees in this passage: is your faith just religious theater, or are you actually practicing the way of Jesus in your daily life?

Scripture: Matthew 23:1–12

In Ephesians 4:1–6 and Philippians 2:1–5, the Apostle Paul urges believers to make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace and to walk in Christlike humility. Guest speaker Pastor Bill Kerney reveals how true unity begins within the church and extends outward to heal our families, workplaces, and local communities. By embracing a shared purpose and putting others above ourselves, God calls His people to overcome division and serve as a light in a broken world. But the call to peace reaches beyond the church walls. How can you step out in humility and actively build unity in your community today?

Scripture: Ephesians 4:1–6; Philippians 2:1–5

In Matthew 22:1–14, Jesus tells the parable of a king who prepares a wedding banquet to honor his son. Through those who made excuses to ignore the call and the guest who showed up without wedding clothes, Jesus exposes the difference between simply hanging around the party and being genuinely transformed by the King’s grace. But the invitation reaches beyond the original audience in this story. How are you responding to the King’s call—and what are you wearing?

Scripture: Matthew 22:1–14

In Matthew 21:33–46, Jesus confronts the religious leaders with the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, who rejected the landowner's servants and tried to claim the vineyard's harvest for themselves Through this parable, Jesus exposes the stark difference between selfishly acting as the owner of what God has entrusted to us and living as faithful stewards who produce the fruit of justice and righteousness. Are you running your life as its sole owner, or living as a faithful steward in God’s vineyard?

Scripture: Matthew 21:33–46

In Matthew 21:23–32, Jesus is confronted by religious leaders who question His authority. Through His response and the parable of the two sons, Jesus exposes the difference between simply saying “yes” to God and actually living in obedience to Him. But the question reaches beyond the religious leaders in this story. By whose authority are you running your life? Scripture: Matthew 21:23–32

Forgiveness isn't about pretending the past didn't happen or simply forgetting what someone did, but about choosing a different way forward. In this message, we walk through the path, people, possibility, pain, and power of forgiveness, discovering how God’s grace gives us the courage to release what we’ve been carrying and make room for hope. Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35

Description: Forgiving someone who has hurt you can feel impossible, especially when the pain is deep and the offense is real. Join us as we explore Jesus' parable of the unmerciful servant and how the audacious mercy we've received from God frees us from our own debt and transforms our hearts, giving us the courage to extend that same forgiveness to others. Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35. 

When someone hurts us, our instinct is often to walk away, hold a grudge, or cut them off, but Jesus calls us to something different. In this message, we explore how Jesus teaches us to remember our relationship, embrace our responsibility, seek to restore what is broken, and, if necessary, release them into the Father’s hands.

We all have a place in life we've quietly given up on, whether it's a relationship, a dream, or a prayer we no longer bother praying. Join us as we look at the story of Moses and the burning bush to see that God shows up in the place you've given up on, he knows your name, and he has a calling for you. Scripture: Exodus 3:1-5
