Jesus gives two shocking warnings at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, warnings that are pointedly directed to people like us. What is the solid foundation on which we should build our lives? Listen to Pastor David’s final message in this series, based on Matthew 7:21-29.
Finding the Narrow Road
Good fruit and bad fruit: you know the difference. What kind do you consume? What kind do you produce? What kind are you? Pay attention to the Sermon on the Mount as Pastor David preaches from its conclusion, Matthew 7:13-20.
Living Out the Golden Rule
The percentage of people claiming no religious affiliation has grown significantly in past years. One reason? The privatization of faith. Maybe our faith is meant to be lived out in public! Listen to Pastor David’s sermon on Matthew 7:7-12.
Dealing With Criticism
We are right, and they are wrong. Love the sinner, hate the sin. You love your brother, but what about the speck of sawdust in his eye? Listen in to Pastor David’s sermon on Matthew 7:1-6.
Trusting God With the Little Things
Why do we worry so much? If we trust God with things like food and drink, he will prove himself to be faithful with bigger things like meaning and purpose and direction. Listen to Pastor David’s sermon on Matthew 6:25-34.
Saving for the Kingdom
Three short teachings, arranged together on purpose: you cannot serve both God and money. How then shall we live? Listen in to Pastor David’s message on Matthew 6:19-24.
Praying What Needs to be Prayed
How should we pray? What is prayer, anyway? How do we misuse prayer? To answer these questions, Jesus gives us a model prayer to follow in Matthew 6:5-15. Listen to Pastor David’s – and the congregation’s – reflections on prayer:
Giving What Needs to be Given
Jesus commands us to give to others, but we are tempted to seek recognition or to avoid unpleasant people. What should we do? Pastor David answers this question by preaching on Matthew 6:1-4.
Fulfilling the Law, Part 3
We are not persecuted; we are privileged. Even so, Jesus calls us to a radical love for our enemies in Matthew 5:38-48. Listen to Pastor David’s message about how we can and should go about that kind of love.
Fulfilling the Law, Part 2
In a world of adultery, divorce, and empty promises, Jesus calls us to take on his character and to build healthy, reconciled, honest relationships. Listen to Pastor David’s sermon on Matthew 5:27-37.
