Mike Self, Matthew 6:13 | What does Jesus mean when He teaches us to pray, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”? In this message, we discover that God may use trials to reveal and refine our faith, but He never tempts us to sin. Rather, through every test, Jesus remains present and faithful, giving us strength to endure.

Christopher Coffman, Matthew 6:12 | Forgiveness is rarely easy, but withholding it can become its own kind of prison. This week, we dive deeper into the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and how the gospel sets us free from revenge.

Eric Johnson, Matthew 6-12 | Jesus teaches his followers to pray, “Forgive us our debts,” because forgiveness deserves our daily attention. In this message, we trace the biblical theme of release and discover that Jesus has canceled the debt we could never repay.

Mary Ann Noack, Matthew 6:11 | “Give us this day our daily bread”. This week, we explore how God’s daily provision forms trust, creates room for rest, and draws us into deeper dependence on Him.

Eric Johnson, Matthew 6:10 | At the heart of the Lord’s Prayer is a longing “on earth as it is in heaven.” In this message, we explore what it means to pray for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done in our lives and our world.

Derrick Dallmeyer, Luke 11:1-4 | Of all the things the disciples saw Jesus do, they asked Him to teach them one thing: how to pray. As we begin a new journey through the Lord’s Prayer, we hope to discover that prayer is how our relationship with God and one another grows.

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.

Sermon On The Mount - 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.
