RE Sunday Sermons

Noel Piepgrass kicks off this advent-themed teaching series on worship by looking at examples from the Christmas story and Paul’s letter to the Romans. 

In Matthew 26:1-13, Jesus has just concluded his public ministry and has returned to the friendly confines of a friend's home in Bethany. While there, a woman pours out expensive perfume on him in an act of love and adoration. While his disciples aren't sure this was such a great use of valuable perfume, Jesus praises the act. Friend of Exeter Valley Church Lori Riley, shows us how this act isn't a waste, it's worship.  

Noel sits down to talk about the 4 distinctives that give shape to how we do church.

In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus uses a parable to show his disciples how God expects them to live. Noel teaches us how our view of God can lead to fear which gets in the way of investing in God’s kingdom.

Noel and Megan Piepgrass sitdown to chat about Jesus story on the future Judgment Day in Matthew 25:31-46. 

In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus gives the final words of his public teaching ministry. As he concludes this sermon known as the Olivet Discourse, he describes the day of his return. In this teaching, Noel Piepgrass shows us that Jesus will come to judge true disciples from false based on how they have treated the "least of these". 

If you don't have a church home or you'd like to be a part of a kingdom expansion in Exeter, CA please join us in person on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM at the Exeter Memorial Building.  

In Jesus’s famous Parable of the Talents (or “bags of gold” as the NIV translates it), we see his call to multiply the resources God has given us, whether they be many or few. Pastor Noel and Andy sit down to discuss the deeper implications of living our lives for Kingdom expansion.

In Matthew 24 and 25, Jesus gives what we have been calling his Sermon on Signs. In this sermon, Jesus answers his disciples' questions about the end of the world. It brings up a whole bag of questions that don't necessarily fit in a Sunday sermon so Pastor Noel sits down with Glenn Power of Radiant Church, Visalia, to discuss. 10/18/23

In Matthew 24:36-25:13, Jesus continues his Sermon on Signs with 4 stories about how to find oneself ready upon his second coming. Noel Piepgrass shares how readiness involves Accepting Jesus as Lord, Adopting Jesus's way of living, and Advocating for Jesus to the world around us. (The first 10 minutes of this recording were not recorded live and had to be added in afterward.) 

In Matthew 24:1-35 Jesus teaches his disciples what they can expect at the end of the age. In this message, Noel Piepgrass shows us how Jesus wants us to live in an age that can feel like the end is near.
