The Gospel of Matthew - Week 13 - (10/11/2026)

What does it mean to truly make a difference in the world around us? In this message drawn from Matthew 5:13-20, we explore two of the most vivid and practical images Jesus ever used to describe his followers: salt and light. Salt preserves, flavors, and purifies. Light exposes darkness and…

The Gospel of Matthew - Week 8 - (9/6/2026)
What does it truly mean to live a blessed life? That question sits at the heart of Matthew 5:1-12, where Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with the Beatitudes. What we discover there might surprise us. The blessings Jesus describes do not look like wealth, comfort, or ease. Instead, they are...

Summer in the Psalms - Week 10 - (8/30/2026)
What do we do when the godless seem to have everything we want?

Summer in the Psalms - Week 9 - (8/23/2026)
What does it look like to come before God with nothing to offer but an honest admission of failure?

What does it mean to truly trust in a God we cannot see, touch, or hear with our physical ears? Psalm 115 confronts us with one of the most honest tensions in the life of faith, the silence of God in the face of our deepest needs, and the temptation to turn toward something more tangible. The…
