Chris Coffman, Mathew 6:1-4 | As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, we explore the hidden life of generosity, prayer, and time alone with God.

Eric Johnson, Matthew 5:38-48 | What kind of person are you becoming? As Jesus teaches about retaliation and loving our enemies, he invites us to release our grievances and pray for those who oppose us.

Sermon On The Mount - Christopher Coffman, Matthew 5:31-37 | Jesus brings grace and truth into the tender places of divorce, broken promises, and shame. In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we see that true righteousness means honoring our covenants and speaking with honesty, even when it is costly. When we fail, Jesus meets us not with condemnation, but with forgiveness and restoration.

Sermon On The Mount | Christopher Coffman Matthew 5:27-30 Jesus speaks into one of the most personal areas of our lives: our sexuality. In this message, we explore the sacred goodness of sex, the destructive nature of lust, and the deeper freedom Christ offers. Jesus does not bring our brokenness into the light to shame us, but to heal us and set us free.

Sermon On The Mount | Mike Self Matthew 5:21-26 Broken relationships matter deeply to God. As Jesus addresses anger in the Sermon on the Mount, he reveals that reconciliation is more important than outward religious performance. Because every person bears God’s image, we are called to release contempt, make peace, and treat one another with dignity.

Mary Ann Noack Matthew 5:17-20 This week, we move from the Beatitudes to Jesus’ teaching on the Law. As His teaching unfolds, Jesus shows us how the whole story of Scripture points to Him and why obedience is a response to the grace we have received.

Christopher Coffman Matthew 5:10-16 In this final message on the Beatitudes, we explore what it actually costs to follow Jesus, and why that cost is worth it, as well as how we can be salt and light in our world.

Eric Johnson Matthew 5:9 This week's message on the seventh Beatitude unpacks what it actually looks like to make peace: with God first, then within ourselves, and then with the people around us.

Christopher Coffman Matthew 5:8 This week we unpack what Jesus really meant by purity of heart, why it's not about moral perfection, and how confession and Scripture meditation can slowly open our eyes to see God at work in our ordinary lives.

Eric Johnson Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. In this week's message on the fifth Beatitude, we explore what mercy really is, what it cost Jesus to extend it to us, and what it looks like to give it away.

Eric Johnson Matthew 5:6 We spend so much of our lives chasing things we think will fill us — and then wondering why they don't. This week, Jesus names the hunger behind all our hungers: a longing to be in right relationship with God, others, and ourselves.

Christopher Coffman Matthew 5:5 This week we unpack what Jesus actually meant by meekness — not timidity or passivity, but the humble, God-trusting strength. And the surprising good news is that meekness isn't something we manufacture on our own, instead it grows in us as we come to Jesus and learn from him.

Mary Ann Noack Matthew 5:4 Grief is a real part of life, and Jesus has something to say about it. In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we explore what it means to mourn and why Jesus calls mourners blessed. We see that those who face their sorrow honestly are brought to the feet of the only one who can truly comfort them — and one day, make all things new.

Eric Johnson Matthew 5:3  Most of us read the Sermon on the Mount and feel the gap between the life Jesus describes and the life we actually live. This week, Jesus meets us right there. The Beatitudes aren't a checklist of people Jesus is searching for — they're a picture of who we're becoming.

Eric Johnson Matthew 4:17-5:2 Who is your teacher? In our introduction to our new sermon series, we see how Jesus isn't a distant lecturer. He's the kind of teacher who walks with you, shows you the way, and believes you can actually live it.

Chris Coffman | Isaiah 43:16-21
