  • Sermon on the Mount: Our Hearts Reordered Toward Heaven, Pt. 3: Beware of Self-Righteousness (Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18)
    Oct 5 2025

    God's kingdom doesn't merely reorder our outward self towards noticeably pious behaviour; it goes deep enough to reorder the inward core of who we are - our very heart - toward God's own glory. So be warned, Jesus says, against practicing self-righteousness to win the approval of others; especially in our giving, our prayer and our fasting. Mike Tweedle, 5 October 2025

  • Sermon on the Mount: Our Hearts Reordered Toward Heaven, Pt. 2: Oaths, Retaliation & Hostility (Matthew 5:33-48)
    Sep 29 2025

    God's kingdom reorders life toward heaven - starting with our own hearts. So what difference does that make to otherwise empty words, our desire for retaliation and our instinctive hostility towards our enemies? Jesus wants us to see: God's kingdom will reorder empty promises towards integrity, retaliation towards generousity, and hostility towards love and compassion. Creighton Friedrich, 28 September 2025

  • Sermon on the Mount: Our Hearts Reordered Toward Heaven, Pt. 1: Anger, Lust & Divorce (Matthew 5:21-32)
    Sep 23 2025

    God's Kingdom reorders our whole life towards heaven, starting with the heart. So how does a heart reordered by God's Kingdom express itself in the midst of life's hardest challenges? An angry heart is reordered towards reconciliation; a lustful heart is reordered towards purity; and a hardened heart behind divorce is reordered towards loyalty. Let's discover a heavenly peace living life according to Jesus. Creighton Friedrich, 21 September 2025

  • Sermon on the Mount: Salt, Light, and the Purpose of Your Life (Matthew 5:13-20)
    Sep 14 2025

    Jesus wants us to be clear on how the kingdom reorders the purpose of our lives: we are called to influence the world for good (like salt) and to illuminate the world with truth (like light). But we can only understand the purpose of our lives in light of Jesus' purpose: to accomplish true righteousness. Creighton Friedrich, 14 September 2025.

    It's hard to overstate the importance of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It's shaped our morals, our politics, our civilization. But what does it all mean? And how do we live it out? As we begin, we discover that God's Kingdom reorders our life toward heaven. This is life according to Jesus. Creighton Friedrich, 7 Sept 2025

  • Guests at a Wedding Banquet (Hebrews 13:1-19; Luke 14:1, 7-14)
    Sep 2 2025

    What does it mean to take the lowest seat at the table? Christ’s call to humility is an invitation to the true wedding feast of the Gospel — where he lifts us up, unites us to himself, and sends us to share his hospitality with the world. Joel Reinhardt, 31 Aug 2025

  • Spur One Another On (Hebrews 10:19-25)
    Aug 26 2025

    The Good News of Jesus is not just an abstract truth - the truth of the Gospel is put into action on an ongoing basis by Christians together as the church. So when the church puts the Gospel into action, we spur one another on toward our good, our gathering, and our goal. Creighton Friedrich, 24 August 2025

  • Bear With One Another (Colossians 3:12-17)
    Aug 17 2025

    The church isn't just a voluntary association or a holy rollers club - it's a family. And it's a family with a purpose: to live out the Gospel together. The Apostle Paul wants us to see that the church is a chosen people, clothed in grace, and called to care enough to bear with one another. Rob Denhoed, 17 August 2025
