Sermon On The Mount - Christopher Coffman, Matthew 5:27-30 | Jesus speaks into one of the most personal areas of our lives: our sexuality. In this message, we explore the sacred goodness of sex, the destructive nature of lust, and the deeper freedom Christ offers. Jesus does not bring our brokenness into the light to shame us, but to heal us and set us free.

Sermon On The Mount - Mike Self, Matthew 5:21-26 |  Broken relationships matter deeply to God. As Jesus addresses anger in the Sermon on the Mount, he reveals that reconciliation is more important than outward religious performance. Because every person bears God’s image, we are called to release contempt, make peace, and treat one another with dignity.

Sermon On The Mount - Mary Ann Noack, Matthew 5:17-20 | This week, we move from the Beatitudes to Jesus’ teaching on the Law. As His teaching unfolds, Jesus shows us how the whole story of Scripture points to Him and why obedience is a response to the grace we have received.

Sermon On The Mount - Christopher Coffman, Matthew 5:10-16 | In this final message on the Beatitudes, we explore what it actually costs to follow Jesus, and why that cost is worth it, as well as how we can be salt and light in our world.

Sermon On The Mount - Eric Johnson, Matthew 5:9 | This week's message on the seventh Beatitude unpacks what it actually looks like to make peace: with God first, then within ourselves, and then with the people around us.

Sermon On The Mount - Christopher Coffman, Matthew 5:8 |

This week we unpack what Jesus really meant by purity of heart, why it's not about moral perfection, and how confession and Scripture meditation can slowly open our eyes to see God at work in our ordinary lives.

Sermon On The Mount - Eric Johnson, Matthew 5:7 | Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. In this week's message on the fifth Beatitude, we explore what mercy really is, what it cost Jesus to extend it to us, and what it looks like to give it away.

Sermon On The Mount | Eric Johnson

We spend so much of our lives chasing things we think will fill us — and then wondering why they don't. This week, Jesus names the hunger behind all our hungers: a longing to be in right relationship with God, others, and ourselves.

Sermon On The Mount - Christopher Coffman, Matthew 5:5 | This week we unpack what Jesus actually meant by meekness — not timidity or passivity, but the humble, God-trusting strength. And the surprising good news is that meekness isn't something we manufacture on our own, instead it grows in us as we come to Jesus and learn from him.

Sermon On The Mount, Mary Ann Noack, Matthew 5:4 | Grief is a real part of life, and Jesus has something to say about it. In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we explore what it means to mourn and why Jesus calls mourners blessed. We see that those who face their sorrow honestly are brought to the feet of the only one who can truly comfort them — and one day, make all things new.
