The Man Believed - John 4:43-52

In this sermon on John 4:43-52, Pastor Matt shows us that this story is about Jesus healing a boy from a distance, showing both His compassion for the sick and the hurting and His authority not being limited by distance. But it's also about the glory and grace of Christ as he deals with a prayerful man with an imperfect faith. 

Reaping and Rejoicing (The Samaritan Woman Pt. 4) - John 4:31-42

In this sermon from John 4:31-42, Pastor Matt concludes the story of the Samaritan woman at the well by showing how the seed of the Gospel springs up into eternal life, not only for her, but for her whole community. In this, we are challenged to believe that the fields really are "white unto harvest" and encouraged to continue in the work of evangelism. 

Worship in Spirit and Truth (The Samaritan Woman Pt 3) - John 4:19-24

In this sermon on John 4:19-24, Pastor Matt walks us through the history between the Jews and Samaritans and how that informs. his response to the Samaritan woman's question about worship. In his response, Jesus gives us some of the most significant teaching on corporate worship in the Scriptures. We hope you'll listen in and see what the Bible has to say about true worship. 

Grace and Truth (The Samaritan Woman Pt. 2) - John 4:7-30

In this sermon from John 4:7-30, Pastor Matt walks us through the Samaritan woman's journey of faith. Comparing her responses to Jesus to Nicodemus's responses, he shows how the Spirit must reveal spiritual truth to us if we're going to understand it. He then shows Jesus's grace to us always accompanies the truth of our sinful condition. Once we've received that grace, we become eager evangelists.

Living Water (The Samaritan Woman Pt. 1)

In this sermon from John 4:1-15, Pastor Matt returns to the series through the Gospel of John and shows how the story of the Samaritan woman is ultimately a story of the grace of the Sovereign Christ. We hope you'll listen in and be encouraged to draw deeply from the well of Christ's grace and love. 

Doctrinal Foundations- Parenting

Doctrinal Foundations - Marriage

Sermon 10 in our Doctrinal Foundations series. In this sermon, Pastor Matt draws from Genesis 2, Genesis 3, and Ephesians 5 to show that marriage is God's design and what that design is.

What Must I Do? - Mark 10:17-27

In this sermon, Pastor Matt walks us through Mark 10:17-27, the story of the rich young ruler who asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus answers his question in a profound way - a way which shows him the depth of his sin and need for Savior.

Doctrinal Foundations - Complementarianism

Sermon 9 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." This is the first of three sermons on the Doctrine of the Family. Pastor Matt defines complementarianism, which is our position regarding gender and gender roles, and shows from Scripture our creation as male and female is very good, the similarities between men and women, and the differences between men and women. 

Doctrinal Foundations - Eschatology (Acts 1:6-11)

Sermon 8 in our Doctrinal Foundations sermon series. In this sermon, anchored in Acts 1:6-11, Pastor Matt talks Eschatology, or what we believe about the end of the human history. There are a lot of things about eschatology that are not plain, and we're not going to be closed-handed about those things. But we will be closed handed about the main thing - the physical, literal return of Jesus Christ to fully restore His kingdom.
