God’s faithfulness spans centuries; hope is never wasted when it’s anchored in Him. Matthew opens with a genealogy that feels like a waiting room of history — generation after generation longing for the promised Messiah. In Christ, the long wait for redemption ends.

Gratitude is not merely a feeling — it’s a way of approaching God in joyful worship, rooted in His goodness and faithfulness.

True gratitude leads to a life of generosity.

God is building us together into His spiritual house where His presence dwells and His mission advances. At Pentecost, Peter preaches and the Church is born. We’ll celebrate the power of community, learning that we are living stones being built together into God’s house.

God calls us to boldly proclaim the hope of Jesus with both courage and compassion. Peter preaches Jesus fearlessly before the authorities, showing us how to share our faith with courage, humility, and compassion. God calls us to speak truth in love to a world in need.

Is it an annoying interruption or an amazing blessing? A beggar stops Peter and John on their way into the temple. The beggar receives a gift greater than anything he ever expected.

God redeems our failures and gives us new purpose in His mission. After denying Jesus, Peter is restored on the beach with a new mission: “Feed my sheep.” God redeems our failures and turns them into a foundation for His kingdom work.

Knowing who Jesus is reveals who we are and shapes how we live out our calling. When Peter declares Jesus as the Messiah, he also discovers his own calling. This sermon shows how our identity in Christ shapes our purpose and direction in life.

Though the enemy seeks to destroy us, Christ restores and strengthens us to stand firm in faith. Peter’s denial shows the reality of spiritual battles. Yet God restores him, proving that failure isn’t the end. Learn how to stand firm against the enemy with Christ’s strength.

Following Jesus may bring opposition, but suffering for His name is evidence of His presence and power. Thrown into jail for preaching the Gospel, Peter learns that following Christ sometimes brings suffering. This message reminds us that God is present in trials and that bold faith changes the world.
