A Most Important Question



How you answer that question is revealed by your life.  God looks on the heart for your answer and all of eternity is at stake.  Who do you say that He is?

This Palm Sunday was a full Sunday for us and a smaller portion than normal of the service made it in the audio.  The microphone on my pocket didn’t pick up the great singing from the Eubanks family, much less of the egg hunts, pancake breakfast, and sweet fellowship and small groups.   Click here to find out more about our friends, the Eubanks.  Click on our Facebook link to see pics from Palm Sunday and more!

When the answer is silence…

Grace found Matthew



In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warned that most will not find the narrow gate that leads to eternal life.  But showing unmerited favor, Jesus found Matthew when Matthew was not seeking Him.  And after Jesus rescued him, Matthew sought to bring others to His Savior.

Authority of Christ



In the Sermon on the Mount, the Way of the King has been made clear by Jesus of Nazareth.
But what authority does this Man of humble circumstances have to claim to be King and Judge with all Authority.  Matthew retells the evidence for the Authority of Christ.

Two choices, One Judge



The One Judge over all mankind warns us that we each will face two choices with our life, but only one choice is the way of the King and to eternal life.  We would be wise if we followed his word to the preferred destination.

Who can judge?



We had some winter weather that kept some people safe at home.  But as you will hear, we are in no place to judge.  Only God knows hearts. Christ is the most competent Judge.  But if you want to hear some of what you missed…

Pure in Heart – Kingdom Priority



It’s a complicated relationship with possessions but the Teacher King beckons us to seek His kingdom as our first priority and our possessions will fall into their proper place.

Pure in Heart – Intimate Prayer to Intimate God



There could be nothing more simple than prayer as modeled by Christ, yet the most seasoned saint feels a hunger for more.  Christ beckons us into life-transforming prayer with the Father.
