In this message, we look at the prophecies of Daniel 9 and the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Thessalonians 2 to better understand what Scripture says about the end times. While Christians may differ on the timing and interpretation of certain prophetic events, one truth remains clear: Jesus Christ is coming again, and we must be ready. Scriptures referenced: Matthew 24:15–28 | Daniel 9:24–27 | Daniel 12:1 | 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 | 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 | 1 John 2:18 | 1 John 4:3 | Revelation 1:7 | Romans 10:9–10

Welcome to Kings Church! In this message, Pastor Dillon Neely begins our series Book of Matthew: Return of the King as we kick off a brand new 6-week journey through Matthew 24-25. Over the next six weeks, we are studying what Jesus Himself taught about the end times, the signs of the times, and His return. Matthew 24-25 is Jesus' longest answer to any question in the book of Matthew — and it's all about being ready for the King to return. Pastor Dillon begins in Matthew 24:1-14. After leaving the temple for the last time — the beautiful Second Temple built by Herod — Jesus tells His disciples that not one stone will be left on another. Stunned, the disciples ask Him: When will this happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming? In this foundational message, Pastor Dillon lays the groundwork: when it comes to the return of Christ, faithful Bible-believing Christians can have different views on timing — pre-mil, post-mil, pre-trib, post-trib, etc. Pastor Dillon reminds us that while we may differ on secondary issues like eschatology, baptism, and other theological details, we are unified on what matters most: the deity of Christ, the virgin birth, the Trinity, the authority of Scripture, the resurrection, and salvation by faith alone through Christ alone. Here, Jesus begins to outline what life will be like as His return draws near. This chapter sets the stage for everything we will study in this series about living with urgency, faithfulness, and hope.

Welcome to Kings Church! In this message, Pastor Dillon Neely continues our series Book of Matthew: King of the Kingdom with a deep dive into Matthew chapter 23 — Jesus' final teaching to the religious leaders before the cross. This chapter brings us to Jesus' most direct warning about the danger of empty religion. Where Matthew 5-7 (the Sermon on the Mount) was Jesus' invitation to walk in the ways of the King, Matthew 23 is His warning to those who reject the King. In Matthew 23:1-39, Jesus confronts the scribes and Pharisees not for struggling with sin, but for living with pride and hypocrisy — saying one thing and doing another. Pastor Dillon walks us through Jesus' teaching and shows how we must let this text search our own hearts today. The message closes with one of the most compassionate moments in the New Testament — Jesus looking over Jerusalem in Matthew 23:37, longing to gather His people like a hen gathers her chicks, and offering the same grace and mercy to us today.

Is it okay to have hard questions about God, faith, and life? In this encouraging message, Pastor Mike Sandusky continues our sermon series "Book of Matthew: King of the Kingdom" with a deep dive into Matthew 22 — where religious leaders tried to trap Jesus with impossible questions. Whether you're wrestling with doubts, suffering, or questions about what God is doing in your life, this message will equip you to navigate the minefield of questions with courage, grace, and faith. Mike also shares incredible updates from Abide Church, our church plant in North KC, and how God is opening impossible doors in North Kansas City schools and across the Kansas City metro.

In this message, Pastor Dillon Neely continues our series Book of Matthew: King of the Kingdom with a powerful look at Matthew chapter 21. Jesus enters Jerusalem and has a direct confrontation with the religious leaders. Pastor Dillon reminds us that Jesus didn't come just as a friend or a good teacher — He came as King. And where the King is, His Kingdom comes. In Matthew 21:23-46, Jesus tells two parables that still challenge us today: 1. The Parable of the Two Sons (Matthew 21:28-32) God isn't looking for just words, He's looking for a changed heart that leads to obedience. Religious activity can't save us — only surrender to Jesus can. 2. The Parable of the Tenants & The Cornerstone (Matthew 21:33-46) God has entrusted us with so much, and He desires fruit from our lives. Jesus is the cornerstone — we can either build our lives on Him, or stumble over Him, but we can't ignore Him. The big question from this message: Is Jesus just riding shotgun in your life, or is He in the driver's seat?

What does it really mean to be great in God's Kingdom? In this powerful message, Pastor Dan Evans continues our sermon series Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom with a sermon titled "True Greatness" from Matthew Chapter 20:20-34. As Jesus heads to Jerusalem to give His life on the cross, His disciples still think He's about to establish an earthly kingdom. Right after Jesus predicts His death for the third time, the mother of James and John asks for seats of honor for her sons. Jesus uses this moment to flip our definition of greatness upside down. This sermon will challenge you to stop striving for position and start living a life of service, just like Jesus.

Have you ever felt like God isn't fair? In this powerful message from our Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom series, Pastor Dillon Neely unpacks one of Jesus' most provocative parables — the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard from Matthew 20:1-16. Jesus shows us that the Kingdom of Heaven doesn't operate on merit, but on mercy. You can't earn it. You can only receive it. If you've been following Jesus for decades or if you're hearing the Gospel for the first time, this message will challenge your view of fairness, deepen your understanding of grace, and invite you to receive the free gift of salvation.

In Matthew 19:13-30, Jesus shows us who truly belongs in the Kingdom of Heaven. In this powerful message, Pastor Dillon Neely continues our sermon series "Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom" by contrasting two kinds of people: dependent little children and the self-sufficient rich young ruler. Why does Jesus say "to such belongs the kingdom of heaven"? And why did the rich young ruler walk away sorrowful? This sermon unpacks what it really means to enter the Kingdom — not by earning, achieving, or holding on to what we have, but by coming to Jesus with empty hands and complete dependence.

What does Jesus actually teach about marriage, singleness, and divorce? In this powerful message from Matthew 19, Pastor Dillon Neely continues our sermon series "Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom" and tackles one of the most personal and misunderstood topics in Scripture. Everyone has been impacted by divorce in some way - whether personally, in family, or through friends. This sermon doesn't shy away from what Jesus says, but shows how the Gospel offers grace, healing, forgiveness, and restoration for every person, married or single. Pastor Dillon walks verse-by-verse through Matthew 19:1-12 to unpack God's original design for marriage as a lifelong covenant, why Jesus allows for divorce, what it means to live with single-minded devotion to Jesus in singleness, and how Christ can resurrect even a cold, dead marriage.

What do you do when a Christian brother or sister sins against you? In this powerful message from Matthew 18, Lead Pastor Dillon Neely continues our series Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom with Jesus' greatest teaching on Christian community, conflict, and forgiveness. This is not about venting, gossip, or church-hopping. Jesus gives us a clear, loving process to rescue people from sin and restore relationships: go directly to them, take one or two others, tell it to the church, and always pursue reconciliation. If you've ever struggled with unforgiveness, gossip, bitterness, or difficult conversations in marriage, family, or small group, this message is for you.

What does it really mean to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven? Jesus flips our definition of greatness completely upside down. In this message, Lead Pastor Dillion Neely kicks off our brand new sermon series Book of Matthew: People of the Kingdom with a foundational teaching from Matthew 18:1-14, 19:13-15. After Peter's confession and the Mount of Transfiguration, the disciples ask Jesus one question: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus answers by calling a child into the middle of them and saying, "Unless you humble yourself like this child, you will never enter the kingdom." This is the greatest discourse in Scripture on Christian community. Christianity isn't just a vertical relationship with God — it has horizontal implications for how we live with each other. If you've ever struggled with pride, comparison, secret sin, or wondering how to actually live out your faith with other people, this message is for you.

There are only TWO kingdoms in this world — the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of darkness. Which one are you living in? In this powerful message, Pastor Damion Cooper continues our sermon series Book of Matthew: Reality of the Kingdom with a message titled "A Different Kind of Kingdom" from Matthew 17:14-27. After coming down from the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus encounters a desperate father, powerless disciples, and a broken boy — revealing what it really takes to live in the reality of God's Kingdom. This is not Chiefs Kingdom, this is the KINGDOM that has all authority, all power, and moves when we speak the name of Jesus. If you've been battling doubt, spiritual warfare, or feeling powerless in your faith, this message will reignite your boldness and remind you that faith the size of a mustard seed moves mountains.

What happened on the Mount of Transfiguration? In Matthew 17:1-13, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain and reveals His true glory - His face shining like the sun, His clothes white as light. Pastor Dillon Neely continues our sermon series Book of Matthew: Reality of the Kingdom with a powerful look at the reality that Jesus is real, His Kingdom is real, and His glory transforms everything. In this message, you’ll discover: > Why Jesus is the greater Moses and the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets > What the Transfiguration reveals about the true identity of Jesus Christ > Why God the Father said "This is my beloved Son... listen to Him"
