Most every Christian is familiar with Jesus' declaration that whoever would come after Him must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him. But what does that mean? We have all likely heard the statement that 'Everyone has his own cross to bear.' And we've also likely heard everything from difficult marriages, stressful jobs, or even physical ailments referred to as a person's 'cross to bear.' But is that that to which Jesus is referring when He calls prospective disciples to take up their

Peter boldly proclaims Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the Living God. What happens next is shockingly unexpected. Jesus tells the disciples not to tell anyone who He is? And then, even more shockingly He begins to show them that He must go to Jerusalem, & suffer many things from the elders & chief priests & scribes, & be killed, & be raised up on the third day? What gives? Listen as Pastor Matt explains why this unexpected follow-up to Peter's is necessary for Jesus to become out great High Priest,

America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation with explicitly Christian laws. Have you noticed how quickly we are moving away from those sacred foundations? How did the people view the establishment of the united states of America during the Revolutionary War? What role did the church play in the establishment of our form of government? What has gone wrong to lead to the transformation of our people's mores, families, and, ultimately, our laws? Listen as Pastor Matt explores how all of this

Jesus told Peter that He was giving him the 'keys to the Kingdom of Heaven,' and the ministry of 'binding and loosing.' Both endowments pertain to authoritative delineation. Keys are delineating between who is in & out, & binding & loosing is delineating between what is right & wrong. Listen as Pastor Matt shows how these ideas are rooted in the Pharisee's synagogue system. They determined who was in and out of the synagogue, and what behavior and beliefs were acceptable inside the community. Jesus

In this sermon Pastor Matt takes a deeper look at Jesus' response to Peter's great confession. Jesus heartily agrees with Peter that He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and as such He will build HIS Church; a new people of God. And what will this new people of God do? We will receive the promises of the Abrahamic covenant. We will possess the gates of our enemies, and, by the authority given to us by King Jesus, we have the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Our destiny is to be a blessing to

He is Risen Indeed! But How Do We Answer the Skeptic?

2023/04/09

As Christians we know that the empty tomb and post crucifixion appearances of Jesus are clear proofs of the Resurrection of King Jesus, but many people offer different explanations. Some people say the disciples stole the body. Some people say that the disciples were hallucinating when they thought they saw a resurrected Christ. And some people even say Jesus didn't die on the cross. They say He merely passed out, and then awoke and convinced the disciples that He raised Himself from the dead. How

2023/04/03

Many atheists have blamed their unbelief on 'the problem of evil.' The argument goes as follows:A. If God exists, then He is all-loving, & all-powerful.B. If God is all-loving, then He would want to eliminate all evil. C. If God is all-powerful, then He is able to eliminate all evil.D. Yet, Evil exists, so God doesn’t exist.How should the Christian answer this challenge to our faith? Listen as Pastor Matt considers the narrative of Jesus on the Cross, and why that terrible day is rightly celebrated

But is that what the Bible actually teaches? Listen as Dr. Kenneth Gentry continues his four part series on Eschatology by showing that the New Testament, just as the Old Testament did, presents a far more hopeful picture than that often embraced pessimistic future for God’s people.

2023/03/19

Some of the most familiar texts in Scripture are some of the most difficult to understand. Jesus' response to Peter's great confession is one of those texts. What does Jesus mean when He tells Peter upon this rock I build my Church? Is Peter the rock? And if so, how are we to understand that truth? What is this 'church' that is being built on that foundation? And what does Jesus mean when He says that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church? Listen as Pastor Matt unpacks this hotly

John 18:28-19:15 A Kingdom Not of this World

2023/03/12

One of the most misinterpreted scriptures in the Bible is John 18:36 My Kingdom is not of this world. Because of their twisting of this text, Christians have willingly left the public square. People have quoted this text in defense of the idea that Christians should stay out of politics, and that we should not try to influence policy. The results have been catastrophic for American culture. Listen as Pastor Matt sets the textual and historical context by reading what comes before and after this

Matthew 16:13-17 Peter’s Great Confession

2023/03/06

I'm sure you have heard it said that we should keep politics out of our preaching. Such is impossible! We are all familiar with Peter's great confession, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.' What you might not realize is the political implications of this confession. Listen as Pastor Matt explains how this two fold confession was a denial of the Sovereignty of the Jewish and Roman leaders, and a claim of the absolute Lordship of Christ over all men. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords

2023/02/27

Last week we saw that the polar opposite Pharisees and Sadducees were cooperating together against Jesus. The Pharisees were like our so-called conservatives today. They held to what they had always believed and what they had always thought even though many elements of it were wrong. The Sadducees were like the progressives of our day. They welcomed the secularizing influence of the pagan Roman government as a form of progress. Jesus warns the disciples of both of these dangerous influences. Listen

2023/02/20

The Pharisees were fully resolve to destroy Jesus, but in order to do so they needed help. Shockingly they turn to their religious and political rivals; the Sadducees. As much as they hated one another, their love of prestige, power, and position led them to unite around their even greater hatred of Jesus. But when they come to Jesus demanding a sign from heaven Jesus disregards their request and warns them of a much greater sign, but it is a sign that prophesies the destruction of that generation

The theological convictions that one generation struggles to reach and fights to defend are often lost within a generation or two. It is necessary that we never take our convictions for granted and simply assume that they are being passed down to the next generation. We must be diligent in our instruction of those truths we hold so dearly.

Are you good enough? What works does God require of man to be saved? What about after salvation? How does the Christian know he’s pulling his weight and truly living up to God’s standard? The Judaizers thought they had cornered the market on the answers to these questions, but Paul’s answers were the polar opposite from theirs. Paul answers all of this for the Galatians as he lays out God’s plan for Christians to live by faith in Christ. Listen as Brother Chris Sublett walks through the Saving

Many are familiar with Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” But do we know the context of this verse and it’s true meaning? Do we know what day is being referenced? Is it every day? Is it a particular day? Why should we rejoice and be glad in it? Listen as Pastor Josh Woody answers these questions and shows how this ‘day’ is the basis for the Christian’s joy.
