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. He addresses topics such as the covenant of marriage, sexual purity, the root of marriage problems, headship and submission, and even divorce and singleness. 

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. 

Doctrinal Foundations - Missions

Sermon 7 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." This series began back in April and we are walking through the biblical foundations for our upcoming statement of faith. In this sermon, Greg Thomas shows us from Matthew 28:18-10, the Great Commission, how the church is commanded to be on mission with the Gospel. 

Doctrinal Foundations - The Church and Discipleship

Sermon 6 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." This series began back in April and we are walking through the biblical foundations for our upcoming statement of faith. In this sermon, we see from Titus 2 and various other texts how the church lives in community with another for the purpose of growing as disciples of Christ. 

Doctrinal Foundations - The Church

Sermon 5 in our series, "Doctrinal Foundations." This series began back in April and we are walking through the biblical foundations for our upcoming statement of faith. In this sermon, we see from Ephesians 4:1-16 and various other texts what the church is, how the church is structured, and what the church does when it gathers. 

God's True Word - John 3:31-36

In this sermon on John 3:31-36, we see that when God sends Jesus into the world, He sends Him not as a voice from God but as the voice of God. We believe Jesus's word because of who He is and because His word is the true, life-giving word of God. 

No Greater Calling - John 3:22-30

In this sermon from John 3:22-30, Pastor Matt says that true humility is a distinctly Christian virtue. After defining humility, we see five characteristics of humility from the example of John the Baptist in this passage. This culminates in the truth that the Christian has no greater calling than John the Baptist's calling, to make much of Jesus Christ during our short tenure on earth. 

God's Love Received Or Rejected - John 3:16-21

Pastor Matt preaches through John 3:16-21, which shows us the depth and character of God’s love and how and why we respond to that love. For all of its universality, it is very particular. God has given the entire world only one way of salvation. There are only two responses to God’s love. There is only one reason behind each of those responses. Each one of those responses has only one eternal outcome. In short, God’s love, the human condition, and the way of salvation are all right here in John 3:16-21.
