May 5, 20192019-05-05 High PriestSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Hebrews 4:14-16)Christians need to rediscover Jesus as their personal High Priest. This means that at this very moment Jesus is praying for you, and because of his role as High Priest you have the ability to pray to God, now, about anything. In this message, Pastor Matt encourages you to pour your heart out to God since he has poured himself out for you as your High Priest.

Apr 28, 20192019-04-28 Spirit BaptizerSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Luke 3:16)Christians sometimes become enamored with various personalities, "spiritual celebrities" that promise a new or greater anointing if you follow and support their ministries. In contrast, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is the one and only Spirit Baptizer - and it is to Jesus that Christians should look to in desiring to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Apr 21, 20192019-04-21 Dead RaiserSeries: Rediscovering Jesus- EASTER SUNDAY -(John 11:17-27)Over the past 20 years, there has been a surge in the popularity of zombies and vampires in entertainment. Not only is this symptom of the anxieties caused by the hopelessness and nothingness inherent to contemporary Western Culture - it also has the effect of subtly implanting the idea that the Resurrection of Jesus is something abhorrent. In this message, we rediscover the promises and possibilities that Jesus' resurrection from the dead offers to anyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God and is ALIVE!

Apr 14, 20192019-04-14 Temple CleanserSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Matthew 21:1-17)On Palm Sunday, Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem with shouts of celebration - but then Jesus immediately entered the Temple and began to cleanse it. In our lives as Christians we have to move beyond the celebratory aspects of worship and enter the consecration of worship. Since the Bible tells us that we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, we should expect Jesus to work to cleanse our Temple (ourselves) of any idol, sin, attitude, behavior, or pattern of thinking that detracts from our faith in God.

Apr 7, 20192019-04-07 Perfect SacrificeSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Hebrews 10)Humanity and every human being shares the same endemic problem - SIN. In his life, death, and resurrection Jesus was the "Perfect Sacrifice" for our sins. In this message, Pastor Matt takes a look at how Jesus' self-sacrifice for our sins continues to liberate and transform us.

Mar 31, 20192019-03-31 Master TeacherSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Luke 24:13-32)After his resurrection from death, Jesus' disciples rapidly discovered that Jesus really was the "Master Teacher." Jesus is still the Master Teacher of every sincere Christian who earnestly desires to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Jesus takes us where we are, and begins to teach us out of our ignorance and immaturity so we can be mature followers of Him.

Mar 24, 20192019-03-24 Story WriterSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Hebrews 12:1-3)People today - both Christians and non-Christians - need to rediscover Jesus as the "Story Writer," the "author and finisher of our faith." Jesus Christ died for us, rose from the dead for us, sent the Holy Spirit to us, and prays for us because He has a plan for each of us! We need to be reminded that His plan for us does not include a destiny dominated by our history or a future controlled by our failures!

Mar 17, 20192019-03-17 Rediscovering JesusSeries: Rediscovering Jesus(Revelation 2:1-7)Mahatma Ghandi once remarked to a missionary, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." This sentiment expresses our need as Christians and as the Church to "Rediscover Jesus." In this message, Pastor Matt takes a close look at the Church in Ephesus to discover why a church that had been founded on a passionate commitment to Jesus Christ later drifted away from a center-focus on Jesus.
