North Gate Church

Living life in the Kingdom may seem complicated, but Jesus gave His disciples pure gold to make it simple! As Jesus begins the end of the sermon on the mount, He gives us the key to stability in life and in community.

The life that Jesus describes on the sermon on the mount is impossible to live. What are we to do? Jesus lays out simply that we are to ask, seek, and knock... and He might have something surprising in mind.

Is there a time where you should move on? Do you know any pigs and dogs? Jesus gives us an idea of what to do when someone rejects the good news...

Matthew 7:1 has been weaponized to make room for a dangerous game of human-sourced truth. We must understand Jesus' words when He tells us not to judge to live in true harmony. Find the massive beam in your eye. A friend may be able to help.

We live in a world of worry. Fueled by the desire to achieve, we may self-destruct in an implosion of anxiety. Jesus suggests another way.

Can you have two masters? Do you have a master at all? Trying to live our lives in two directions will tear us apart. Jesus warns us against a common idol. In the midst of it we must ask, "whom do I serve?"

Jesus warns us of darkness inside that masquerades as light... what are we to do? How do we shine the light?

Barabbas deserved to die. Yet, the people chose him as their savior. Who do you choose? Do you choose the real Jesus, or a Jesus that we think will give us what we want? Do you realize the gravity of His gift for us? This sermon walks us through the story of Barabbas and helps us to discover the real Jesus and what He did for us.

It's easy to judge others by their actions. When others express their worship of God, what happens in your heart? Are you worshipping Jesus, or are you worshipping who you want Him to be? These difficult questions come to the surface in this Palm Sunday look at Jesus's ascent into Jerusalem.

The question isn't, "will you worship?" The question is, "what will you worship?"

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego give us a powerful example of worship in the midst of idols. What do you deem worthy?
