Matthew 4:18-22

Matthew 4:18-22

In Matthew 4:18–22, we find a familiar story that reveals something profound about the heart of Christ and the nature of His kingdom. The men Jesus calls are not who we might expect, and their response challenges many of our assumptions about discipleship, obedience, and surrender. In this message, we conclude our Kingdom Come series by examining the call of Jesus and what it means to follow Him. Along the way, we are reminded that the kingdom of heaven often advances in ways the world would never anticipate and that the call of Christ still demands a response today.

Psalm 23

Psalm 23 is one of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture, but its comfort is rooted in something far deeper than familiarity. In this message, we explore David’s confession, “The Lord is my Shepherd,” and discover how every promise in the psalm flows from belonging to the Shepherd Himself.

Matthew 4:12-17

In this message from Matthew 4:12–17, Pastor John Oliver continues our series through the Gospel of Matthew, exploring the opening moments of Jesus’ ministry and what they reveal about His purpose, His message, and the response He calls for from every person. Whether you are following along in our study of Matthew or listening for the first time, this passage reminds us that the arrival of Jesus changes everything.

Matthew 4:1-11

As we continue our Kingdom Come journey through Matthew, Student Pastor Joseph Blount walks through Matthew 4:1–11, focusing on Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. Following His baptism, Jesus is led into the wilderness where He faces Satan’s attacks and succeeds where Adam and Israel failed. This message reminds us that Jesus is not a distant Savior who cannot understand our struggles. He knows weakness, suffering, and temptation, yet he remained faithful. Because of His victory, those who are in Christ no longer fight for victory but from victory. As we face temptation and spiritual battles in our own lives, we are called to depend on Christ and anchor ourselves in the truth of God’s Word.

Matthew 3:13-17

Why would a sinless Savior begin His ministry with a baptism of repentance? In this week’s message from Matthew 3:13–17, we walk through one of the most surprising moments in the Gospel of Matthew as Jesus steps into the waters of the Jordan. Why would the spotless Son of God stand among repentant sinners? What does His baptism reveal about the Father, Son, and Spirit? And what does it mean for us today?
