The Midweek Message: The Transfiguration (Matthew 17)

In chapter 17 of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus ascends a mountain with three of his disciples, and suddenly begins to shine brightly in front of them.  In this sermon, we consider what the disciples witnessed and what it means for us today.

Another Midweek Message: The Price of Admission to the Table (Matthew 16)

Salvation is offered freely to all - there is nothing we can do to earn it.  But there is a cost to following Jesus Christ.  In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow him.  

In this sermon, preached before we shared bread and wine in Communion, we consider what we may have to sacrifice in order to sit at Christ's table.

A Midweek Message: Show Not Tell (Matthew 16)

In this sermon, we consider how Jesus was able to show (rather than just tell) his disciples that he would suffer, die and rise on the third day.  We explore the Old Testament Scriptures and see some of the evidence for God's plan of salvation.
