Secret Life of Jesus :: Believe

Matthew 6:25-34

By Robert Krumrey

Treasuring God above all else affects the way we interact with the outside world. Treasures that once seemed ultimate now become a means to bring about higher purposes (last week’s sermon). Not only this but being heavenly hearted allows us to rely on God our Father for what we need here on earth. This enables us not only to be generous with our resources but also frees us from the anxiety that comes from worrying about tomorrow. Found out in this sermon what we should believe about God and his Kingdom and the resulting peace that comes from resting in these truths.

Secret Life of Jesus :: Treasure

Matthew 6:19-24

By Cooper Krumrey

The Sermon on the Mount is full of profound teaching regarding the inward condition of human beings and the congruence (or incongruence) of that inward condition with outward action. How do we know if we are truly “getting it” instead of falling for another version of false pretense. Find out in this sermon on Jesus’ ultimate test of the human heart – what we treasure.

Secret Life of Jesus :: Fasting

Matthew 6:16-18

By Anse Kwak

Breaking through to a secret life with God always includes the use of spiritual practices like prayer and Bible reading. One practice that is often ignored it that of fasting. Find out more in this sermon how fasting can be a means for God’s Spirit to do a new work in your life and how the hungriness of your stomach can be the gateway to a satiating of the soul with more of Jesus.

Secret Life of Jesus :: Pray 2

Matthew 6:9-15

By Robert Krumrey

In our sermon from last week (pray 1) we learned from Jesus how to pray. This week we hear from Jesus what to pray. The Lord’s prayer or model prayer is the most significant teaching on prayer in the Bible. Find out more in this sermon as we learn from the Master of prayer, Jesus himself.

Secret Life of Jesus :: Pray 1

Matthew 6:5-8

By Robert Krumrey

Ask any Christian whether prayer is important and you will get a 100% “yes”. Ask any Christian if they pray as much as they think they should and you’ll probably get a 100% “no”. We all agree that prayer is important and Jesus would agree. In this teaching from Matthew 6, Jesus shows us how to make prayer a priority and how to do it once we’ve made it one.

Secret Life of Jesus :: Give

Matthew 6:1-4

By Robert Krumrey

In our previous sermon series on Matthew chapter 5, we learn about Jesus’ vision for Becoming Human. A comprehensive transformation into a whole person inside and out. Matthew chapter 6 gives us the means of this massive transformation which are the spiritual practices of the Christian life. Check out this sermon for teaching on spiritual practices in general and the practice of financial giving in particular.

Matthew 5:38-48

By Robert Krumrey

Jesus is relentless in his sermon, calling his followers to high and holy standards in the areas of anger, lust, and oath keeping. Just when you think he has reached the pinnacle of moral perfection, he rolls out one more challenge - actively and affectionately loving one's enemies. Find out in this sermon why Jesus insists on enemy love and what this command reveals about an enemy loving God.

Matthew 5:33-37

By Noah Galloso

In an environment of lying it’s hard to figure out if someone is telling the truth. Jesus teaches his followers to always be consistent with the truth - to let one’s “yes be yes” and “no be no”. Find out in this sermon how being a truth teller is a reflection of the ultimate Truth Teller and a demonstration of the most important Truth we could ever come to know.

Matthew 5:21-32

By Robert Krumrey

Jesus teaches his followers in Matthew 5:20 that their righteousness must be greater than that of the “Scribes and Pharisees”. This was a daunting standard of holiness for those who first heard this. Little did they know what Jesus meant by that until the very next part of the sermon. Find out in this sermon the life-changing INWARD and OUTWARD transformation that Jesus makes possible in the lives of his followers.

Matthew 5:17-20

By Robert Krumrey

Many believe that the way to deal with God’s righteous standard (the law) is to use

grace to dismiss it. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus is clear that he did not come to

abolish God’s law but instead to fulfill it. What is Jesus saying by this and what does it

mean for us who are seeking to follow Christ? Find out in this sermon about both the

perfect and progressive righteousness of God.
