Matthew 26:31-56

Once again humanity finds itself in a garden of decision… Pastor Craig will take us, with Jesus disciples, into the Garden of Gethsemane this Sunday. You can read it in advance, from Matthew 26:31-56. In this season of crisis, what does it mean to follow Jesus in the face of that which we cannot explain?

Matthew 26:1-30

Two friends, two very different responses, and a call to the Lord’s Table (which, sadly, we will forego this Sunday …see below). And an invitation to trust God when nothing goes according to expectation! This Sunday we’re opening Matthew 26:1-30, if you’d like to read it in advance.

Matthew 24:1-25, 46

This Sunday we delve into a very challenging passage of scripture. The disciples ask Jesus about the end of the age, and Jesus seems to sort of answer their question, or does He? Is He talking about then, the immediate future or a future yet to come? And how do we live now in light of what Jesus is saying?

Matthew 23:1-39

Sometimes Jesus speaks in a stern voice to those having trouble hearing God. How are we to react to this? We’re in Matthew 23 this Sunday. I plan to attempt to recount this event and help us understand and apply Jesus intent by using some theatrical story telling. My intent is not to entertain, it’s to teach via story.

Matthew 22:23-46

We all ask lots of questions, and question-asking is good. But what are the most important questions? And is there one question that trumps all others? What do we get right or what is at risk if we get this question wrong or incomplete? This Sunday we’re in Matthew 22:23-46.

Matthew 21:23-22:14

We will examine the question of authority and the authorities around us, and ultimately we’re going to add a few more layers of paint to our picture of God.

Matthew 21:1-22

What are some of the obstacles that get in the way of us seeing Jesus more clearly? Would things change if you were aware of these obstacles and you invited Jesus to help you see him more clearly? Let's explore these ideas as we look at Matthew 21:1-22.

Matthew 20:17-34

Who are you leading? Someone is always watching. What are they seeing? Jesus brings counter-cultural teaching concerning leadership. I struggle to live it out. Maybe you do too? Let’s look to Jesus again this Sunday and invite the Holy Spirit to instruct us.

Matthew 19:13-20:16

What is the connection between my value, my reward and my net worth? Matthew threads these themes together as he continues to invite us to see Jesus clearly. This Sunday our “2020 Vision …looking to Jesus” series finds us in Matthew 19:13-20:16.

Matthew 19:1-15

We’re trying to understand and see Jesus more clearly, in our new “2020 Vision …looking to Jesus” teaching series on Sundays. Matthew is inviting us to experience Jesus’ teaching on relationships and this week we turn to Matthew 19:1-12 and consider God’s design for marriage, sexuality and family. I would venture that everyone one of us have been personally impacted by divorce …a friend, a family member. You’ve maybe experienced divorce yourself. Let’s not be afraid of Matthew 19. We’ll consider, what is God’s design for marriage? Why is it so difficult? Is there any hope for any of us? What do I do if this subject has torn me up?
