Beware of Hypocrisy

Beware of Hypocrisy Text: Matt. 6:1-18 Date: 5/10/2026 Preacher: Tyler Kerley The desire to be seen is one of the most fundamental human desire. Whether it is a child saying, “Watch me!” or Sally Field’s famous (though often misquoted) Oscar acceptance speech, “You like me! You really like me!” we all feel the need to be seen. However, this good, natural desire can be corrupted. Jesus calls this corrupted desire hypocrisy. In this passage, Jesus warns us against the dangers of religious hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is dangerous because ... 1. it craves man’s applause,  2. it rejects the Father’s approval, and 3. it misses the Christian’s reward.

Love Your Enemies

Love Your Enemies   Text: Matt. 5:38-48   Date: 5/3/26   Preacher: Tyler Kerley   It's one of the coolest experiences as a parent to see your children begin to imitate you. The word imitation is not explicitly used in Matthew 5:38-48, but the concept it present throughout this text: Jesus says, "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." Why? "So that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven." He concludes it, "You therefore must be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect."   So, how are we to imitate God? This text gives three answers. 1. What we are not to do; 2. What we are to do; and 3. What we will one day become.

Salt and Light

Salt and Light Text: Matt. 5:13-16 Date: 4/12/26   Preacher: Tyler Kerley   The Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most famous speech of all time, let alone the most famous sermon. Throughout the season of Easter, we are going to be studying the Sermon on the Mount, beginning this morning in Matthew 5:13-16, with the images of salt and light. Through these images of salt and light, this small text is asking big question: Why are we here? How are we as the Church to relate to the world? What kind of impact or influence are we as the Church supposed to have on the world? Or, to put it into a more precise form: How are we as the Church to be used by God for the good of the world? And the answer this text gives to that question is that God blesses the world through the Church's (1) identity, (2) purity, and (3) visibility.
