Advent 2024 - God With Us - Christmas Eve - The Wise Men

There are three reactions in Matthew 2:1-12 to the news of the birth of Jesus. There was resentment from Herod at the new “King of the Jews”. There was indifference from the Jewish people, who were “troubled” by his coming and did not received him. The Magi, however, sought him out and rejoiced in his coming.

How do we react to the Word of the coming of Jesus?

Advent 2024 - God With Us - Week 3 | Temple

John 2:19-21 - Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

Temple God is With Us

Ark : God wants us near
Veil: We cant come near
Altar: God will bring us near

Advent 2024 - God With Us - Week 2 - SHOW ME YOUR GLORY

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
- Exodus 33:18

The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty…
- Exodus 34:6-7

Advent 2024 - God With Us - Week 1 - Separation

Matthew 1:18-23

We were created for nearness with God, but during the fall there was broken trust, an act of betrayal, and separation from God. Through the coming of Jesus, we have a way to be clothed in the righteousness of God and draw near to Him once more.

John 6:48-71 The Day Jesus Blew Up His Own Movement

Because Jesus loves us best,
he is very willing to have necessary confrontation.

Is he your Lord?

John 6:1-43 | Bread of Life

John 6:1-43 | Bread of Life

In this week's sermon, Pastor Matt dives into John 6:1-43, where Jesus miraculously feeds the 5,000, yet the crowd misses the deeper meaning behind the miracle. While they were focused on their immediate physical need for food, Jesus points them toward something far more profound: the true satisfaction of their deepest longings, which only He can provide.

Pastor Matt draws a parallel with the Israelites in Numbers 11, who grumbled about their physical needs, showing that no matter how much we crave the things of this world, they can never truly satisfy. The real provision is found in Jesus Himself. As He declares, "I am the bread of life" (John 6:36), He is not just a means to an end—He is the end. Jesus is not just the giver of what we want; He is the goal, the prize, and the reward we are ultimately seeking.

John 5:31-47 | The Doorway to Relationship

John 5:31-47 | The Doorway to Relationship

Jesus has previously claimed in John 5, that He is equal with God, that He will judge the world, and that He is the only source of life.

In John 5: 32-40, we explore Jesus going on both the offense and defense of these claims. In defense, Jesus calls to witness the Father, the Forerunner in John the Baptist, the Works for Jesus to accomplish, and the Words of Scripture. In John 5:41-47, Jesus goes on the offensive. He speaks on their dependence and hope on the law of Moses, but do not seek Jesus, of whose glory comes from the Father.

John 5:18-30 | Jesus Gives Life

John 5:18-30 | Jesus gives life

In today's sermon, "Jesus Gives Life," we explore the profound truths found in John 5:18-30. Jesus offers us eternal life, not just in terms of endless duration, but also in its richness and abundance—transforming our existence into one filled with divine quality.

While we were created for community, our fallen nature often pushes us toward independence; yet, in Christ, our redeemed selves long for true dependence on Him. Instead of looking within for solutions, we must recognize that such introspection is part of the problem.

Ultimately, Jesus grants us life, freeing us from judgment and ushering us into a new existence where we are born again through Him.
