“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”

Sermons on Matthew (Page 5)

11 – “Conflict Resolution / Reconciliation / Making Peace … it Requires Wisdom!”

“Wisdom to Live By!” Clearly, there are many verses and passages in God’s Word that speak about conflict and how to resolve it in a way that honors the Lord and brings peace among those who are struggling to be reconciled with one another. God knows what causes conflict and He knows the path to reconciliation … after all, He sent Jesus…

9 – “Rebuke / Correction vs. Stubbornness … Responding to the Lord’s Correction!”

“Wisdom to Live By!” No one enjoys being rebuked or corrected. It means you have done or are doing something wrong, or at least someone believes you are doing something wrong. There are times when people may rebuke or correct someone, only to discover they were the ones who were mistaken, but GOD’s rebuke and correction are always necessary and always accurate.…

8 – “Honesty … it Really IS Always the Best Policy!”

“Wisdom to Live By!” Lying causes all kinds of problems. Everyone knows that! Yet for those without the Spirit of God and faith in Jesus Christ, lying seems at times more convenient or easier than simply being honest and telling the truth. Even those who are born again and in whom the Spirit is working can be deceived by the old nature…

4 – MAN: Dead In Sin!

“You Are My Witnesses!” In a world where anything Christians say is considered “judgmental,” many are convinced that the most loving thing we can do is just be quiet and let people do what they are doing. Telling people they are sinners and that they deserve God’s judgment may as well be considered “hate speech!” And yet, it is this truth that…

1 – You Will Be My Witnesses

“You Are My Witnesses!” God makes it clear in His Word that once you confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord your life is never yours again. You belong to Him! You have been bought with a price: His blood shed for you on the cross! His Spirit now lives within you. What He wants, you want; what He tells you to…

5 – Pursuing Mission

“The Six Marks of a Disciple” Jesus was sent into this world on a mission. Few who believe the Bible to be the Word of God would argue with that statement. But what was the mission He was sent to accomplish? Jesus doesn’t leave us in doubt! He says, “I will build My Church!” Jesus further describes His mission in John 17:1-4,…

4 – Pursuing Servanthood

“The Six Marks of a Disciple” God speaks often in His Word about the importance of serving others. Jesus emphasized to His disciples that serving others was a large part of what it meant to be one of His disciples. He used Himself as the ultimate example, saying that He came into the world “not to be served, but to serve and…

3 – Pursuing Community

“The Six Marks of a Disciple” Perhaps you or someone you know has said, or at least thought, “I don’t need the church!” People who say that have usually had a negative experience in a particular building with a particular group of people. Some have had multiple “bad experiences” that have left them scarred and disillusioned. After all, who needs more frustration…

2 – Pursuing Holiness

“The Six Marks of a Disciple” These and many more verses and passages of Scripture speak to God’s call to holiness! And yet, few today speak about personal holiness as a worthwhile pursuit. After all, everybody knows that nobody is perfect. Even we who believe in Jesus Christ, in whom His Spirit is at work, continue to struggle with the remaining remnants…
