    Christ And The Law - Matthew 5:17-18 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 20, 2024
     | 690 views

    Critics often accuse Christians of picking and choosing which parts of the Old Testament we consider binding today. Why do we appeal to the prohibition on homosexuality, and yet we don’t put an incorrigible child to death by stoning?

    Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until ...read more

    The Greater Righteousness - Matthew 5:20-21 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 3, 2024
     | 816 views

    How can Jesus say anger is equivalent to murder? Killing a human being has such greater consequences and is so much more extreme. This message will show how the two sins have the same DNA and will expose how even our best efforts to obey God’s Word can degenerate into legalism.

    Matthew 5:19-26 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness ...read more

    Matthew 5:19-26 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness ...read more

    Eye Faithfulness - Matthew 5:27-28 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024
     | 670 views

    What constitutes a lustful look? Is it adultery every time a man looks at an attractive woman and likes what he sees?We know it is not a sin to be tempted, and yet it is sin to have certain desires, so where do you cross the line into sin?

    Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 20, 2024
     | 882 views

    It’s surprising to discover how many subtle ways we take revenge on those who hurt us. This message will help you discover them and show you the remedy Jesus gave us.

    Matthew 5:38-42 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak ...read more

    Living For The Pleasure Of God - Matthew 6:1 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 818 views

    We all know hypocrisy is evil. But few people understand the remedy Jesus gave. How does living for reward cure the disease of hypocrisy?

    Matthew 6:1-18 "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the ...read more

    Giving & Reward - Matthew 6:2 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 418 views

    Why does Jesus tell us to give, fast, and pray in secret, when earlier in the sermon he had commanded that we do our acts of righteousness before men to be seen by them? This message will give you a new way of looking at the commands to live for reward.

    2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make ...read more

     | 496 views

    What can we learn about our culture from the Santa Clause story?

    Matthew 6:5-15 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your ...read more

    What’s The Catch? - Matthew 7:7 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 15, 2024
     | 828 views

    We know we do not get everything we ask for, so when Jesus says “Ask and you will receive” what is the catch?

    Matthew 7:7-12 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if ...read more

    Be A Son, Not A Dog - Matthew 7:7-11 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 15, 2024
     | 831 views

    For our relationship to God to be what it should be, it’s crucial to understand God’s generosity and eagerness to bless us. This is a whole sermon on the generosity of God. It’s an especially important message for folks who tend to think of God as reluctant to bless them or answer their prayers.

    Matthew 7:7-12 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he ...read more

    A House Of Cards - Matthew 7:24-27 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 20, 2024
     | 1,011 views

    What is the "rock" Jesus tells us to build our house on? The Word of God? Jesus? No. Both the rock builders and the sand builders are building on Jesus' words. It's not enough to build on his words. Jesus tells us the difference between rock and sand.

    Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more

    Our Daily Bread - Matthew 6:11 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 5, 2024
     | 981 views

    God will supply everything you need—but everything you need for what? To stay alive? Then why do we die? This sermon asks the question of exactly what the difference is between a need and a want, and where recreation fits in the Christian life.

    Matthew 6:5-15 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your ...read more

    Matthew 18:15-35 If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you.

    Self-Humbling - Matthew 6:16-18 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2024
     | 690 views

    Fasting is never commanded in the NT, yet all the godliest people in the Bible did it. If it is important, why isn't it discussed in the epistles? If it is not important, why did Jesus do it? And why did he promise reward if we do it?

    Matthew 6:16 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to men ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2024
     | 945 views

    This message ends with a section that teaches how to make your resistant, unwilling heart more willing to fast. It’s the method Jesus used.

    Matthew 6:16 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to men ...read more
