One Another (week 1)

Scripture: Mark 10:42-45

Message: Serve because King Jesus served unto death.

Pastor Mitchell Leach

The women came to the tomb expecting death. What they found changed everything. In Matthew 28:1–10, the crucified King is raised. The stone is rolled away, the angel speaks, and heaven's verdict on Jesus is declared: he is not here — he is risen. But Matthew doesn't stop at the empty tomb. The risen Christ meets his people, receives their worship, and sends them with news that must be told. Easter is not merely the happy ending to a tragedy. It is the royal triumph of the living Lord.

Series: Crowned (Easter Sunday — Week 4)

A crown of thorns. A sign that reads "King of the Jews." Mockery, darkness, and a cry of abandonment.

Matthew 27 does not soften what happened at Golgotha. Jesus is stripped, shamed, and forsaken — and Matthew wants us to sit with that. But he also wants us to see the shocking truth underneath the surface: this is not the collapse of Jesus's kingship. This is its clearest display. The true King saves his people by standing in their place, bearing the curse, the shame, and the judgment that belongs to them. Join us for our Good Friday service as Pastor Mitchell preaches from Matthew 27:33–50.

⛪ Series: Crowned (Good Friday)

Palm Sunday — the crowds are cheering, the branches are waving, and a King is riding into Jerusalem. But is he the King they expected?

In Matthew 21:1–11, Jesus enters Jerusalem deliberately and publicly as the promised Messiah — not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. His kingdom doesn't come through power and conquest. It comes through humility and peace. The question Matthew presses on every reader is the same one pressing on us today: have you received Jesus as he truly is, or only as you hoped he would be?

Join us for Week 2 of our series Crowned as Pastor Mitchell preaches from Matthew 21:1–11.

Series: Crowned (Week 2 — Palm Sunday)

Join us at Prosper Christian Reformed Church as Pastor Mitchell Leach begins our Easter sermon series, Crowned, with a message from Luke 9:51–62 titled: Crowned with Purpose

In this opening sermon of the series, we see Jesus set his face toward Jerusalem. He does not drift toward the cross as a victim of circumstance, but walks in obedience toward the saving work the Father gave him to accomplish. As the King marches toward Jerusalem, he calls his followers to respond with wholehearted allegiance. Main Idea: As the time of his saving work draws near, Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem and calls people to follow him with undivided allegiance. Series Description: Crowned follows Jesus on the road to Jerusalem and through the events of Holy Week, showing that his kingship is unlike every worldly vision of power. He does not seize a throne by force, flatter the crowds, or preserve himself from suffering. He reigns by obedience. He is praised by the people, rejected by sinners, humbled unto death, and then vindicated by the Father in resurrection glory. This series helps the church see that Easter is not merely the happy ending to a tragic story. It is the public revelation that Jesus truly is King. From his resolute march toward Jerusalem to the empty tomb, every scene reveals a King who rules with purpose, receives praise, embraces humility, bears shame, and triumphs in glory. As we walk through these passages, we are confronted with a searching question: what kind of King do we want? A King who serves our expectations, or the King who saves through sacrifice? Crowned calls us to bow before Jesus as he truly is—the crucified and risen Lord—and to follow him on the path of obedient discipleship.

Christ Aone series - Week 8 of 8

In this sermon from Galatians 6:11–18, Paul concludes his letter with a powerful truth: the only true boast for the Christian is the cross of Jesus Christ.

Our world constantly offers different “metrics” to tell us we are okay—success, morality, image, approval, or even religious performance. But none of those can carry the weight of our guilt, suffering, or death. Only the cross of Christ can. Through Christ’s finished work: The world is crucified to us We are made a new creation And true peace and mercy belong to those who walk according to the gospel. Main Idea: The only legitimate boast for the Christian is the cross of Christ.

Rev. Dave Brower

Christ Alone Series Week 5

Pastor Mitchell Leach

Heirs of the Promise (Galatians 3:15–29)

Paul explains that God’s saving promise to Abraham is fulfilled in Christ and received by faith, not law-keeping. The law served a temporary purpose, but it was never meant to define God’s people forever. In Christ, believers are united as sons and heirs, no longer defined by ethnicity, status, or achievement, but by their shared identity in him.

Christ Alone: Week 4 – Faith or Works? (Galatians 3:1–14)

Pastor Mitchell Leach

Paul confronts the Galatians for beginning by faith and then attempting to continue by works. Drawing from their experience, Abraham’s example, and Christ’s curse-bearing death, he shows that faith brings blessing while the law brings a curse. This passage calls us to trust God’s promise rather than our performance and to live by faith in Christ, through whom blessing truly comes.
