House of Prayer
"My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." —Mark 11:17 God birthed the Church in a prayer meeting. Preaching explains Heaven for earth. Praise explores Heaven from earth. Prayer exports Heaven to earth. Without the "constantly" of corporate prayer (Acts 1:14), the Church will…

Who is Seeking Who?
A tax collector. Despised by his own people. In bed with the enemy. Greedy. Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see who Jesus was. But when Jesus reached the spot, He looked up and called him by name: "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." We thought Zacchaeus was the one...

Christ is Seated: Living and Praying From Christ's Victory
What does it mean that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father? In this message, we explore the often-overlooked doctrine of Christ’s ascension—and how His reign shapes the way the church prays, lives, gathers, and perseveres. Drawing especially from Psalm 110:1 and the book of Hebrews,...

Do Not Judge | Matthew 7:1-6
Many people quote Jesus’ words, “Do not judge,” but few understand the depth of His heart behind them.

And Then They Will Fast
Fasting is one of the most neglected gifts Jesus gave His Church. In Matthew 6:16–18, Jesus doesn’t say if you fast—He says when. He assumes fasting will be part of the normal rhythm of life for those who follow Him. But what exactly is fasting? Why do we do it? How long should we fast? And what...
-
God & Money
What we treasure always tells the truth about who is really on the throne of our hearts. In this message from Matthew 6, Chad unpacks Jesus’ words on money, mammon, and generosity, showing how our use of resources reveals our true allegiance. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, the parable of…

Motives Matter
Be Seen or Stay Hidden? What Jesus Really Meant About Good Works | Matthew 6:1–4 Jesus says, “Let your light shine before people” — and then, just a few verses later, He says, “Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people.” So which is it? Be seen… or don’t be seen? In...

Be Perfect: Loving Your Enemies in a World of Retaliation | Matthew 5:38–48

The Integrity of Your Yes
What does Jesus see in our everyday words that we often miss?In Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus confronts the games we play with language—the half-truths, exaggerations, empty promises, and carefully worded escape clauses we use to protect ourselves.

Jesus Heals Our Desires
Jesus is not only Lord over the life everyone can see. He is Lord over the invisible life too. In Matthew 5:27–30, Jesus moves beyond outward behavior and confronts the desires, fantasies, and hidden places of the heart. His words are severe because sin is severe—but His intention is not shame....

Anger and the Way of Jesus | Matthew 5:21–26

The Identity You Could Never Earn
What happens when you spend your whole life trying to earn something God only gives as a gift?In Matthew 5:17–20, Jesus tells His listeners that their righteousness must surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees.

In this message from Matthew 5, Rick Schaeffer takes us to the “headwaters” of the kingdom, where the river of God’s Spirit first begins to flow in our lives. Far from abstract theology, the Beatitudes are what you find when you “cut open” the people of God—the culture that forms in a community...

Final Victory: Hope for an Anxious Generation
