The Gospel of Matthew - Week 5 - (5/10/2026)

Jonah - Week 2 - (6/7/2026)

This powerful exploration of Jonah chapter 2 reminds us that there is nowhere we can go where God cannot reach us. We see Jonah at his lowest point, trapped in the belly of a great fish after fleeing from God's calling. Yet even there, in what seems like a tomb beneath the waves, God hears his cry. The message is profoundly hopeful: no matter how far we've run, no matter how deep the pit we find ourselves in, God is present and ready to rescue us when we turn to Him.

Jonah - Week 1 - (5/31/2026)

The story of Jonah offers us a startling mirror to examine our own spiritual lives. We encounter a prophet who, rather than drawing near to God's presence, actively flees from it - boarding a ship to Tarshish when called to Nineveh. What makes this account so compelling is how relatable Jonah's struggle becomes when we're honest with ourselves. How often do we place our faith on autopilot, comfortable in our own salvation while the world around us rages in spiritual chaos? The sailors frantically call out to their gods while Jonah, the one person on the ship who knows the true God, sleeps below deck. This powerful imagery challenges us to wake up from our spiritual complacency. This sermon was first preached at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell on May 31,2026.

The Gospel of Matthew - Week 7 - (5/24/2026)

This powerful exploration of Matthew 4:12-25 invites us into the profound reality of Jesus beginning His earthly ministry and what it means for us today. This sermon was first preached at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell on May 24th, 2026.

The Gospel of Matthew - Week 6 - (5/17/2026)

This exploration of Matthew 4 takes us deep into the wilderness where Jesus faces three profound temptations from Satan. What emerges is not simply a lesson in resisting temptation, but a stunning revelation about our own inability to save ourselves. The text masterfully parallels Jesus' wilderness experience with Israel's forty years of wandering, showing us how the Israelites repeatedly failed where Jesus succeeded. This passage humbles us with the reality that no amount of moral effort can save us, while simultaneously lifting our hearts with the glorious truth that Christ succeeded on our behalf, offering us His perfect righteousness through faith.

The Gospel of Matthew - Week 5 - (5/10/2026)

This powerful exploration of Matthew 3 invites us into a transformative understanding of what it means to prepare our hearts for Christ. Through John the Baptist's radical ministry in the wilderness, we encounter the urgent call to repentance - not as a gradual adjustment of behavior, but as a complete turning around, a 180-degree pivot back toward God. This sermon was first preached at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell.
