A Jesus Centered Community of Scripture, Faith, and Grace
Sermons on Matthew (Page 4)
We celebrate our first reopening Sunday with an appropriate talk about the Parable of the Weeds of the Field.

We talk about when we need to bring bad news, and how Jesus really is good news. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 10:34–42 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father,…
We talk about how our language ties us to things, and how we are tied to the Law and to the Gospel as Christians.

Sermon Scripture: Matthew 17:1–9 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by…
We talk about how Jesus ramps up the effect of the Law and how that’s actually a good thing because it assures us that our salvation is only possible by His grace. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 5:17–37 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to…
We talk a little bit about the product of Christianity and what it is that God is offering to the world in His Son.
