This sermon examines Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, emphasizing how this moment fulfilled multiple Old Testament prophecies and marked the beginning of the most significant week in human history. The message focuses on Jesus as the King who controls everything, arriving not as a conquering warrior on a white horse but as a humble peacemaker on a donkey. The sermon highlights the tragic irony that despite overwhelming prophetic evidence—including Daniel's precise 483-year timeline—the people of Jerusalem failed to recognize their Messiah and missed "the day of their visitation." The central challenge is whether we will recognize Jesus as both Savior and Lord today, or whether we too will miss our moment of divine visitation by wanting Jesus on our terms rather than submitting to His lordship.

This sermon examines Matthew 20:17-34, contrasting two different approaches to Jesus as He journeys toward His crucifixion. On one hand, James and John's mother seeks positions of prominence for her sons in Christ's kingdom, representing self-centered ambition. On the other hand, two blind beggars simply cry out for mercy and sight, representing humble dependence on Christ. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus was deliberately walking toward the cross with full knowledge of what awaited Him—betrayal, mockery, flogging, and crucifixion. The disciples, however, were climbing the wrong mountain, seeking worldly status rather than understanding Jesus' mission. The core message challenges believers to examine whether they are pursuing prominence, power, and possessions, or whether they are seeking Jesus Himself with opened eyes. True greatness in God's kingdom comes through servanthood and self-surrender, not self-promotion. The pathway to real life requires losing one's life for Christ's sake rather than attempting to preserve comfort and security. The sermon concludes with a powerful call to pray not for position, but for spiritual sight and mercy.

This sermon explores Jesus's parable of the workers in the vineyard from Matthew 20:1-16, revealing the radical nature of God's grace and salvation. The message emphasizes that salvation is not earned through merit or works, but is a gift freely given by God who pursues us. The parable illustrates how God's kingdom operates on grace rather than fairness by human standards. The landowner represents God who continually seeks workers (believers) throughout the day, from early morning to the final hour, paying all the same wage regardless of hours worked. This challenges our human tendency to compare ourselves with others and to think we deserve more based on our efforts. The sermon concludes that whether someone comes to faith early in life or at the last moment, all receive the same salvation through God's generous grace. The key theological insight is that God's grace is not based on human merit but on His generosity, and our response should be gratitude rather than comparison or complaint.

This sermon challenges believers to examine their personal commitment to serving the Lord through pursuing reconciliation within the church body. Pastor Grant emphasizes that being a Christian means being a new creation, called not just to receive God's reconciliation but to actively pursue unity and reconciliation with others. The message explores the difference between building a church structure and being the church—a living temple of the Holy Spirit. Through biblical examples of Joshua, David, Paul, and Peter, the sermon illustrates what it means to make a personal declaration of faith and obedience regardless of what others do. The core message is that Christians are called to pursue reconciliation, follow Christ wholeheartedly, and trust God with the outcomes, even when they don't align with our expectations.

This sermon examines Jesus' teaching on marriage from Matthew 19:1-12, where He responds to the Pharisees' attempt to trap Him in a debate about divorce. Rather than engaging with their legal technicalities, Jesus redirects the conversation back to God's original design for marriage at creation. Pastor Erin emphasizes that marriage is a sacred covenant, not a disposable contract, designed to be a lifelong union of one man and one woman. The message addresses the pain caused when society deviates from God's plan, the problem of hardened hearts that lead to relational breakdown, and the need for spiritual transformation rather than mere behavioral modification. The sermon also affirms singleness as a legitimate gift from God, emphasizing that ultimate fulfillment comes from the Lord alone, not from human relationships.

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching on forgiveness from Matthew 18, emphasizing that forgiven people must forgive others. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus reveals the astronomical debt we owe God and the complete forgiveness He offers through Christ's sacrifice. The message challenges believers to examine whether they truly understand God's mercy by their willingness to extend forgiveness to others. Unforgiveness is presented not just as disobedience but as evidence that one may not have genuinely received God's grace. The sermon emphasizes that forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling, and that it leads to personal freedom while reflecting the character of Christ. True disciples are marked by their ability to forgive because they comprehend the magnitude of what they've been forgiven.

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15-20 on handling conflict and pursuing restoration within the body of Christ. Rather than focusing on winning arguments or proving ourselves right, Jesus calls believers to pursue reconciliation with the goal of "winning back" brothers and sisters who have sinned or caused offense. The message emphasizes that Satan seeks to divide families and churches to render believers ineffective for God's kingdom, while God's heart is always oriented toward restoration.
