The Grand Finale

  • Following the Teacher Series 14

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

After 7 months and 23 sermons, the preaching series on The Sermon on the Mount comes down to this: one story and a realization that it is not our initial response to Christ's teachings, but our long term obedience that matters.
[Matthew 7:24-29]

Jesus' Guide to Retaliation

  • Following the Teacher Series 13

Ben McGillivray

Next Generation Associate

In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ gives some well known instructions on retaliation. We examine turning the other cheek, walking the extra mile, and giving our coat to find application for our everyday lives.
[Matthew 5:38-42]

The Crux of the Matter

  • Following the Teacher Series 12

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

The main point of the Sermon on the Mount is Jesus: he reveals himself as the fulfillment of the law. Not only does he raise the bar of expectations for us, but he shares his righteousness with us so we can truly be the light of the world.
[Matthew 5:17-20; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Matthew 5:43-47]

In Praise of Character

  • Following the Teacher Series 11

Jeff Bjorgan

Spiritual Formation Pastor

The Christian life is not easy. The narrow way of the kingdom that Jesus teaches about is one that is concerned about character over outward appearances, obedience over spiritual talk, and relationship with Christ over the business of religion.

The Heart of Christ's Teaching on Prayer

  • Following the Teacher Series 10

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

As the Sermon on the Mount comes to an end, Jesus gives three powerful principles at the heart of prayer. The "ask," "seek," "knock" instruction is primarily about others first and then our relationship with our Father.
[Matthew 7:7-12]

The Hard Side of Christianity

  • Following the Teacher Series 9

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

Although the gospel of Christ is a message with wide invitation, the exclusive nature of Jesus himself and his call to obedience is a hard side of the Sermon on the Mount. The narrow road and narrow gate contrast with the broader ways of destruction.

It Just Takes a Spark

  • Following the Teacher Series 8

Andy Gabruch

Next Generation Pastor

Jesus wants to deal with the Pharisee that lives within all of us. We need to avoid judging others and instead live a life of discernment and transformation by evaluating ourselves and internalizing God's word.
[Matthew 7:1-6]

Perspective

  • You Can't Serve Two Masters
  • Following the Teacher Series 7

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

Jesus knew that what we focus on would become our treasure. It is not inappropriate to have treasures, but for followers of Christ, they must reflect His Lordship. Do you see life from His perspective?

What's Your Word Worth?

  • Following the Teacher Series 6

Derek Koch

Peachland Campus Pastor

Using phrases like "I promise" or "I swear" shows that our "yes" or "no" isn't good enough. Jesus teaches us to be people of integrity in the area of vows, oaths, and keeping promises. Here's practical advice to mean what we say and say what we mean.

Stress Free Living

  • Following the Teacher Series 5

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

Stress free living begins in the heart with our faith in God. Worrying is a vote of non-confidence in God’s ability to handle the affairs of our lives. What will we focus on: the problems or our Heavenly Father who promised to take care of us?

Making Love Last Forever

  • Following the Teacher Series 4

Derrick Hamre

Lead Pastor

Jesus is a protector of love and marriage. Because sexual lust can lead people dangerously close to adultry and divorce, Christ teaches us to take drastic action in order to protect ourselves and our marriages. This is a call to sexual and marital purity.
[Matthew 5:27-32]

Anger Management

  • Following the Teacher Series 3

Jeff Bjorgan

Spiritual Formation Pastor

When talking about murder, Jesus moves the emphasis of the Mosaic law from observance to attitude. In contrast to a life crippled by anger, contempt and malice, Jesus promotes a kingdom way of living that addresses conflict by initiating reconciliation.
