How do you want people to describe you at your funeral? What characteristics do you want people to see in you? This week in Matthew 10:8-11, embedded in some odd-sounding instructions, we will see 3 virtues that Jesus says should characterize the lives of His disciples, both then and now.

Unworthy - Worship the King E3

The King has come not only to save souls but also to end suffering. This week we look at Matthew 10:8 and see how the power of God to restore our broken bodies and societies is a sign that the Kingdom is here.

The Cross in the Spotlight - Worship the King Episode 2

The King is here, and it’s our job to announce his arrival! This week we look at Matthew 10:5-7 and see that, while most of us get sweaty palms when we think about evangelism, there are some simple skills we can learn that will help us spread the joy of the Kingdom.

Three Meals - Episode 1 of the Worship the King podcast conversation series.

Here’s a brain teaser for you: What do a small business owner, a young family man, a corporate sellout, a right wing extremist, an analytical skeptic, and you all have in common? Join us this Sunday to learn the answer. (Hint: according to Matthew 10:1-4 these are all people God uses to change the world!)

How do you respond emotionally when you see people doing or saying something dumb—Fear? Outrage? This week we see in Matthew 10:35-38 that Jesus responds with compassion. And his compassion is the foundation of his Mission and our prayers.

What is the biggest problem with the human condition? Every worldview tries to respond to this question, but only Jesus has the true answer. This week we discover what that answer is in Matthew 9:35-36, and, while it's NOT flattering, it gives us HOPE for ourselves and the people around us.

In order to be disciple makers, we have to first be worshipers. Sunday morning is where we come into the king’s throne room and offer ourselves before Him. In this podcast series, we'll explore what it means to Worship The King, covering topics including communion, families worshipping together, choosing songs, and more.

Is it possible that you are not becoming more like Jesus but rather making Jesus more like yourself? This week we kick off our new series on Matthew 10 by discussing how we should approach the teachings of Jesus in order to make sure we are being formed in His image and not the other way around.

Jesus the Christ has been a polarizing figure from the beginning. You must either bow to Him as your King or oppose Him and try to control your own life. Which will you choose?

Facing a financial crisis? Trouble at home? Job uncertain? Despite all these things, your greatest need is not to be delivered from your circumstances but to be saved from your sins–and that is EXACTLY what Jesus the Christ came to do!

We prepare our hearts for Christmas by diving into Matthew 1 and asking the question, “What does the word ‘Christ’ actually mean?” Join us this week as we learn that “Christ” is not Jesus’s last name and discuss the real way for disciples of Jesus to put the Christ back into Christmas.

If you think that in Heaven we will be disembodied spirits floating on clouds, listening to harp music, then you REALLY need to pay attention to this week’s sermon. Come learn what our bodies will be like in Heaven and why the Resurrection isn’t just something Christians believe in, its something we participate in!  #blessed #weeksix #newbody #1corinthians15

You are a TOOL not a TROPHY. God didn’t save you just to put you on a shelf and collect dust. He has good works for you to do–lots of them! Sound exhausting? Its not! All you have to do is learn to walk. #blessed #weekfive #godusesyou #goodworks #ephesians2:4-10

Now that Jesus has saved you, you can live however you want, right!? No. The Gospel is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! This week we learn about sanctification and why justification and adoption are just the beginning of God’s blessings! #blessed #weekfour #sanctified #buriedwithchrist #raisedwithchrist #godchangesyou #newlife #romans6

God doesn’t just save you from hell, He adopts you into His family. This week we learn why nobody who follows Jesus is an orphan and how to get off the treadmill of trying to work for the approval of others. #blessed #weekthree #adopted #galatians4:1-7

Bible Trivia question: On a scale of 1 to Jesus Christ, how righteous are you in God’s eyes? If you answered less than Jesus, then you don’t understand the meaning of the word “justification.” This week we learn the meaning of this fancy theological term, and why when you trust in Jesus, God does SOOOOO much more than just give you a second chance. #blessed #weektwo #justified #romans3:21-26
