Current Sermon Series

As we finished our sermon series in Ezra and Nehemiah, you may have gotten a sense that the story was still… incomplete. The Lord restored His remnant people and rebuilt His kingdom, but the old patterns of sin and rebellion returned all over again. And for 400 years, God’s people cried out, waiting for the King of the Kingdom to come. Well, in the Gospel of Matthew, the answer finally comes. We encounter at last the good news of the arrival of the long-anticipated king. And his name is Jesus. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah long for the Savior King; the Psalms resonate with the Savior King; and, as we saw at Advent, the whole bible ultimately points to this Savior King: Jesus Christ. But who is King Jesus? What did He say? And how can we know Him even now? Join us this Spring, Summer, and Fall as we meet King Jesus face-to-face in the Gospel of Matthew, seeking to truly experience personally the Good News of King Jesus together.

Micah Labovitch - September 24, 2023

Behold and Listen to the Gracious King

Watch
Listen

We don't always handle broken relationships the way we should. In today's sermon, Jesus calls all of us, not just pastors and elders, to do whatever it takes to restore someone to fellowship through forgiveness and to expose the truth. We need to realize the insurmountable debt of sin that we each have had cleared by Jesus and extend that same limitless grace to others.

Micah Labovitch - June 11, 2023

Unmet Expectations for King Jesus

Watch
Listen

We all have expectations. In fact, we often merge the American Dream with the Gospel and expect to have the perfect life with some Jesus on the side. Yet that's not what Jesus is offering. What Jesus offers is to be like him, taking up our cross daily. Today's sermon talks about the doubt, disappointment, and defiance that can happen when we try to force God into our expectations instead of willingly submitting to His desires for us.
