Our sermon is entitled, “The Baptism of Jesus.” We come to the first of our Lord’s true active ministry actions in this passage. Up to now, we have been speaking all about the Lord as Matthew has been introducing Him, showing us that He is the Messiah from the testimony of prophets and scripture. But now, the Lord speak for Himself. In…

This week we continue in the ministry of the Word in Matthew’s gospel. Our message is  and is taken from Matthew 3:1-12. Here we are introduced to John the Baptist, but unlike other gospel writers, Matthew gets right to the meat of John’s purpose – repentance, and the urgency of repenting. John is the forerunner, we learned about him in the Gospel…

Our sermon is taken from the Gospel of Matthew 2:13-23. This message will show us the great divide between the world and Christ. With wickedness rampant in tyrannical leaders like Herod, the world is never a safe place for Jesus or His followers. From the Lord’s earliest days, He is hunted. Matthew shows us yet again that this is the expected circumstance…

Our message will cover Matthew 2:1-12. Here we learn some truths that may challenge what you think you know about the Magi. Our task is to take our knowledge from the Bible, not from tradition and holiday songs, so we get to do just that. We’ll discover who King Herod is, what kind of people surround him, and why they responded the…

Today we look at Matthew 1:18-25, a storehouse of core doctrine and an encouraging passage about the birth of Jesus. Here we will encounter the unique purpose of the virgin birth, the power of our Lord’s name, and the mystery of the union of Christ’s two natures. It may seem unusual to many of us, speaking of the incarnation in the middle…

Our message will cover Matthew 1:1-17, a beautiful bit of scripture, because of the wisdom of Matthew to begin with a distinctly royal lineage. Even from a list, we find great hope that heaven is not barred to us Gentiles and sinners, for our Lord is not ashamed to find in His descendants tainted blood and sinful people. When the gospel can…

Technical Note: The first 10 minutes of the message were not recorded, however, the bulk of the message is present. Please enjoy! Here is our introductory message on the Gospel of Matthew that sets up the context through which we will look at this gospel. We begin the series with the last verses of the gospel, Matthew 28:16-20. We will make it…

Our sermon is entitled “Hospitality As An Expression of Love” and we will be launching from 1 John 3:15-18. I hope to show how it is a vital part of the Christian life, necessary for a vibrant community, and a command from God. I do not wish to lay burdens on people, which is what these kinds of sermons can sometimes be…

This Lord’s Day, we will deal with the topic of assurance of salvation. We will answer these five common doubts that Christians experience. Launching from 1 Corinthians 2:12, we will cover several other passages as well. This is designed for believers who have doubts, and I pray that it will help you or help your children. Here are the five doubts we…

Our sermon continues the series of topical sermons that offer practical Christian living wisdom from the Word. This week’s message is a follow up on last week’s message on Discouragement. Our launch verse comes from John 17:20-23, but we will reference a large number of other verses as well. In this message, designed to encourage us and equip us, we will ask…
