Jesus reveals that our hearts deceive and leave us dead. In His goodness He gives us a new heart that is ALIVE and delights in Him!

Tradition vs Transformation

Jesus shows that replacing God’s truth with human tradition produces empty worship, but true and joyful worship flows from hearts shaped by Him and His Word.

Jesus allows storms in our lives to reveal who He is and to draw us into a deeper faith by drawing us to Himself.

In our inability, the kindness of Jesus welcomes us regardless of how inconvenient it may seem to Him. Jesus tells us to bring anything and anyone to Him where we can be fully satisfied.

We are passionate about building joy-filled communities of faith, whose very existence inspires individuals to live an abundant Christian life—made up of three key relationships: a deepening relationship with God (r1), a life-changing relationship with others (r2), and an engaging relationship with those yet to believe (r3).

Matthew shows us the clear difference between someone who treasures Jesus and someone who doesn't. Either we experience the emptiness of our own pleasures here and now or the fullness of joy now and for eternity. Experience the fullness of joy!

Knowing about Jesus is not the same as trusting Jesus. Jesus’ hometown crowd recognized His wisdom but refused to TRUST in Him and their unbelief closed them off to experiencing His work. Matthew urges us to move beyond recognition of Jesus to full allegiance and discipleship to Him.

There is nothing better than Kingdom Living! Missing it is the worst, but we happily give everything to enjoy it.

God’s kingdom advances quietly and steadily, often in ways that are almost imperceptible and that may appear insignificant, yet it is unstoppable and grounded in God’s eternal plan.

God allows good and evil to grow together for a time, but He alone will bring justice in the end. While we wait for that day, we keep sowing the goodness of the kingdom!
