A messages from the series “The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Believe King Jesus?.” 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.
Behold and Listen to the Humble King
by
A messages from the series “The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Believe King Jesus?.” The disciples, like us, want to know who is greatest in the Kingdom, when Jesus questions if they’re even in the Kingdom.

King Jesus Challenges Our Drive
by
A messages from the series “The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Believe King Jesus?.” Following Jesus is so much more than a ticket to heaven. When we decide to follow Jesus, He asks us to completely give up control over our own lives and hand it over to Him. This means we don’t always get what we ask for in prayer and we’re called to do things we wouldn’t choose to do if left to ourselves. Listen in on what it means to “take up your cross” and follow Jesus.

by

Kingdom Opponents to King Jesus
by
A messages from the series “The Gospel of Matthew: Will You Believe King Jesus?.” Our faith is constantly opposed and we shouldn’t be surprised. Jesus himself was often opposed, not because of what he was doing or what he was saying, but because of who he claimed to be. We can often be like this. We like the good things that Jesus gives but don’t like the true reality of what it means to follow Him in obedience, worship and sacrifice. Today we are challenged to a better way, following Jesus in everything.

Ultimately, only Jesus himself can close that gap within each of our hearts.
