In this powerful sermon from Matthew 5:33–48, Pastor Pat Sieler teaches what Jesus said about true character. Character isn’t about reputation or personality—it’s who you really are when no one’s watching. Jesus challenges us to live with integrity by keeping our word, controlling our anger, and showing love even to our enemies. From being honest in everyday promises to going the extra mile and loving those who wrong us, this message reminds us that real Christlike character flows from a heart transformed by God’s Spirit.

Key points:

Keep Your Word – Let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no.

Keep Your Cool – Don’t retaliate; rise above insult and injury.

Keep Your Love – Love, bless, and pray for your enemies.

In this powerful message, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks Jesus’ teaching on divorce from Matthew 5:31–32 and Matthew 19. Marriage began in the heart of God—it’s a divine covenant meant to last a lifetime. Yet, because of human sin and the hardness of our hearts, God allowed divorce in limited cases: adultery and abandonment.

This sermon explores the biblical foundation of marriage, the pain and reality of divorce, and the hope of restoration through God’s grace. Whether you’re married, divorced, or single, this message reminds us that God is a God of forgiveness, healing, and new beginnings.

Key Points:

Marriage is God’s design and covenant, not just a contract.

Divorce was never God’s plan but is allowed for adultery or abandonment.

Reconciliation should always be the goal when possible.

Divorce is not the unpardonable sin—God restores and redeems broken lives.

In this powerful message from Matthew 5:21–30, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks Jesus’ teaching on anger and lust, revealing how the Lord raises the standard from external obedience to internal transformation. Jesus equates anger with murder and lust with adultery—showing that sin begins in the heart. The sermon challenges believers to seek reconciliation quickly, walk in forgiveness, and rely on God’s Word and the Holy Spirit to overcome destructive emotions and desires. Victory over anger and lust comes not through willpower, but through Christ living within us. Through prayer, Scripture, and accountability, we can experience true freedom and purity of heart.

In this powerful message from Matthew 5:17–20, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks what Jesus truly meant when He said He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. Discover how Christ perfectly obeyed God’s commandments and fulfilled every part of the Old Testament—ceremonial, civil, and moral. Learn why our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees, how the Law reveals our need for Christ, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to live in godliness. Above all, Jesus shows us that love—for God and for others—is the greatest commandment that fulfills the Law.

In this powerful message from Matthew 5:13–16, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks Jesus’ teaching on what it means to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world.” Every believer has influence — the question is, how are we using it? Learn how to live a life that impacts others for Christ, bringing light into darkness and preserving the goodness of God’s truth in a decaying world. Through faith, love, and good works, we reflect Jesus to those around us. Be encouraged to shine brightly, live purposefully, and make a difference wherever God has placed you.

Everyone longs for happiness, but most of the world’s pursuits—money, possessions, relationships, or success—leave us empty. In this sermon from Matthew 5:1–12, we discover that Jesus offers something far greater than temporary happiness: blessedness.

Through the Beatitudes, Jesus reveals the path to a truly blessed life: humility, comfort in mourning, gentleness, hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even joy in the midst of persecution. True happiness isn’t found in circumstances—it’s found in Christ.

Join us as we unpack what it really means to be blessed and how we can experience God’s lasting joy and presence in our lives today.

In Matthew 4:23-25, we see Jesus step into public ministry as the King who can’t be ignored. He teaches with authority, proclaims the Good News of the Kingdom, and heals every kind of sickness and disease. His words, works, and wonders prove that He is the rightful Messiah—worthy of our full allegiance. Just as crowds were drawn to Him then, we are called to follow Him today, letting His Word shape our lives, His Gospel guide our conversations, and His compassion move us to action. Will you follow the King who can’t be ignored?

In this sermon from Matthew 4:12-22, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks what it truly means to follow Jesus. Just as Peter, Andrew, James, and John left everything immediately to follow Christ, we too are called to step out of darkness and into His light. Jesus began His ministry with a message of repentance and an invitation to follow Him—without hesitation, excuses, or delay. He is the Light of the World, the One who brings forgiveness, peace, and purpose. The question remains: will you follow Him today?
