Pastor Matt preaches from John 12:12-19, "The Coming of the King." As we celebrate the coming of King Jesus into the world, our normal next text in John is the coming of Christ into Jerusalem and, by his actions, accepting the title of King. Not only that, but it is full of Christmas themes. That should not surprise us, as Jesus himself tells Pilate that it was for this purpose that He came into the world.
Pastor Matt preaches from John 12:1-10 on the famous story of Mary anointing Jesus's feet with pure and expensive oil. We look at how this is an unintentionally prophetic act of devotion, faith, and worship. At the same time, we also Martha and Lazarus serving Christ in their own ways. Finally, we see in the example of Judas that what keeps us this kind of service and worship to Christ is the hidden sins of our hearts. We hope ...

Pastor Matt preaches from John 11:17-37.
In this sermon, our focus is on how Jesus’s love for Martha and Mary affects how He cares for each of them in their grief.

We hope you'll listen in and see a picture of how Christ loves us as His sheep and how He made a way for us to live, even though we die.
