WHEN WORSHIP & BLESSING END IN WEEPING & BITTERNESS
(Psalm 136 & 137)
 
These two Psalms are linked in that one celebrates God's People's arrival in the Promised Land while the other bitterly laments their removal from it.  In the same way many Christians joyfully worship Jesus every Sunday yet live lives full of bitterness and grief the rest of the week - this isn't Jesus' intention for His Church, and there is a way to overcome it!

    FIGHTING UNBELIEF UNDERWATER
    (Mark 16:9-16)
     
    Unbelief is the single most crippling condition that Christians can experience.  Nothing delays maturity, thwarts growth, and delays miracles like unbelief.  Unbelief is meant to be alien to a Christian!  That is why the act of Water Baptism is designed as an act of faith at the beginning of a Christian's journey with Jesus to directly combat the toxin of unbelief.

    A WAKE-UP CALL TO THE CHURCH IN AMERICA
    (Isaiah 3:1-15)
     
    In examining the Word of God, and looking at the current cultural and political trends, the only possible conclusion is that America has crossed the line and is now a nation under God's judgment for its sins.  In this sermon, Pastor Matt share the Four Signs that a nation is under God's judgment and what the Church of Jesus Christ is supposed to do.

    "WINNING THE BATTLE BUT LOSING THE WAR"
    (2Chronicles 14,15 & 16)
     
    Many Christians have great testimonies of the grace of Jesus at work in their lives as they've overcome sins, additions, bondages, and other strongholds.  Yet, it is possible for a Christian to win that great battle, but then go on to lose the war.

    "WHEN YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE WITH THE WRONG HEART"
    (Jonah 3:10-4:11)
     
    Many Christians assume that if they are in the center of God's will for their lives, then that is all they have to be concerned with.  That isn't true as like the Prophet Jonah it is possible for Christians to be right where God wants them doing what God has called them to do but have a heart that is completely wrong!

    "THE FORGOTTEN DOCTRINE"
    (James 5:13-18)
     
    While the Christian Church in the West has not forgotten that God can and does heal people, the Church has forgotten what the Word of God actually teaches about seeking God for healing!  Instead we've found ourselves building our faith on human traditions and stories and personalities rather than on the Word of God.

    "I TOO WAS CONVINCED"
    (Acts 26:9-18)
     
    These four words, "I too was convinced" are the four words that need to be at the center of every Christian's heart and life.  At one time we all lived in a way that we thought was right until we heard the Good News of Jesus Christ and learned that God's way is the only right and true way.

    WINNING THE WAR OF THE WORLDS
    (Acts 1:1-11)
     
    Often, it is the little differences, the tiny divergences from God's Plan that can bring defeat to Christians and Churches when we're supposed to walk in the victory Jesus won for us.  One of those details is the vision that we have - very often Christians and Churches operate with an entirely different vision from what Jesus has.

    FRIENDS, HAVEN'T YOU ANY FISH?
    (John 21:1-14)
     
    The question Jesus asked His disciples (and us) points out the inadequacy and failure of all our attempts to do ministry, to obtain God's blessings, to get victory over sin through our ways and our wisdom.  Jesus' way is not only the BEST way, it is the ONLY way for Christians and churches that are serious about doing the work God has called us to do.

    STOP DOUBTING AND BELIEVE
    (John 20:24-29)
     
    Christians and churches are often afflicted by a disease called "spiritual anemia." It doesn't come from a lack of vitamins but a lack of faith.  In this sermon, Pastor Matt echoes the challenge of God's Word for Christians and churches to make a decision (in every area of our lives) to Stop Doubting and Believe!

    "THANK GOD LOCKS DON'T BOTHER JESUS!"
    (Luke 24:36-49)
     
    We use locks to keep our things and ourselves secure, but at the same time locks slow us down or completely block us.  Jesus, however, is able to either bypass or unlock any lock - whether its locks of fear in our lives, locks of unbelief in our minds, and locks of hostility in the nations of the world against the Gospel.

    "GOING SOMEWHERE BUT GETTING NOWHERE"
    (Luke 24:13-33)
     
    Many times, our Christianity is best described as "wasted efforts."  We expend so much energy and so much time and resources trying to follow a Jesus of OUR imagination OUR way.  In this sermon, Pastor Matt shows us in God's Word how to stop living a Christianity of futility and move into genuine faith!

    Jesus' appearance to a group of women a short time after His resurrection reveals some insights into how God will go about encouraging us when we truly need it.

    In this sermon, Pastor Ron delivers a highly encouraging reminder that no matter what our sins, no matter what our circumstances, no matter our situation, no matter our struggles - we can always Tell It To Jesus AND we can expect His answer!!!
