    In a world full of distraction, it is more important than ever to refocus our attention and worship on what truly matters: Christ.

    TOO BUSY TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING How many of you have ever had a day where you had so much to do, that you just couldn’t get anything done? As soon as you’d start a task, something else – just as essential – would grab your attention, and then just as you got the ball rolling, a third thing would ...read more

    If we are to be faithful disciples of Christ, and follow His example, we must be willing to disappoint others.

    Good morning! I’d like to jump right in, and begin this morning with a precious promise, one that comes directly from Christ: “28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will ...read more

    Jesus was saying that His own generation was a childish generation. By childish He meant perverse. They turned away from that which was right and good to that which was corruptible. They were just wrong-headed, mindless, and contrary.

    Introduction A. A man and his wife were making their first doctor visit prior to the birth of their first child. After everything checked out, the doctor took a small stamp and stamped the wife's stomach with indelible ink. The couple was curious about what the stamp was for, so when they got ...read more

    Finding rest & contentment in uncertain times by following the invitation of Jesus to "Come to Me"

    When we look at the first part of our text today we see Jesus talking to the people about living in a world of uncertainty, living a life of restlessness without peace and surety. “We played the flute and you didn’t dance, we played a funeral march and you didn’t weep and cry.” John Lived out in ...read more

    John’s disciples could have been biased against Christ, because of His mounting popularity, and the lessening of their master’s.

    Transition And Testimony (Matthew 11:1-30)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2025
     | 322 views

    Our commentary on Matthew continues with Jesus' testimony about the ministry of John the Baptist and the promise of judgment upon the unbelieving cities who witnessed HIs work yet did not repent.

    Matthew 11 begins with what is referred to as a "transitional" passage (v.1). While the disciples were going around the countryside doing the work that Jesus had commissioned, He continued to preach in the cities in Galilee. Verses 2-3 describe how John the Baptist had been thrown into ...read more

    John the Baptizer wasted no time in telling Herod that it was wrong for him to have his brother Phillip’s wife saying that it was not lawful. John went to prison for being the prophet God called him to be and not the puppet that Herod wanted him to be.

    THE WICKED GENERATION Text: Matthew 11:1 – 19, 25- 30 N. T. Wright once said that “… wicked people don’t like a message of judgment because they think the message is aimed at them, (and rightly so) while good people don’t like a message of mercy because they think (wrongly) that ...read more

    This patriotic sermon shows that we all have the potential to start fires. The only difference is whether or not we warm things up or burn things down.

    Romans 7: 15-25 Matt 11 16-19, 25-30 The Fourth of July is probably my favorite of the non-religious holidays.

    When things don't go as expected, we often begin to question and doubt. By reflecting and trusting the facts, and remaining firm in the Promises fulfilled and yet to come, we can find peace in trusting HIM. The invitation has been given, "Come unto Me and find peace."
