Knowing the Difference Between Fruit

February 23, 2025 · Kyle Rodgers · Matthew 7:15-29

Do you know the difference between a good fruit and bad fruit? When looking at a fruit on the outside, it may seem good, but how do you know it’s good unless you cut it open? In other words, do you really “KNOW” those who claim Jesus as Lord? What if it’s just a show? This week…

Judge Not or Be Judged

February 9, 2025 · Earl Anders · Matthew 7:1-16

This Sunday it so happens I will be preaching on a scripture that, it has been said, is quoted more than any other scripture. Does that make it all good? I wish it did, but here it is: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” (Matt 7:1) The verses that follow certainly…

Do Not Be Anxious

January 26, 2025 · Kyle Rodgers · Matthew 6:25-34

Do not worry. Easier said than done. How do we live a worry free life that Jesus is calling us to in Matthew 6? Why is Jesus calling us to this type of life? The anxieties of this life are real and can be a great burden for one. This week Pastor Kyle will be breaking down…

“And When You Pray”

January 19, 2025 · Kyle Rodgers · Matthew 6:5-14

“And when you pray….” Jesus assumes that we are going to be people of prayer. What does that look like in your life? If you were to describe your prayer life in one word, what would that word be? Thankfully, Jesus has given us an amazing blue print when it comes to prayer. He…

Giving, Sacrifice, Wealth

January 12, 2025 · Rob Presthus · Matthew 6:1-4; 16-24

Last Sunday, in preparation for foot washing, Earl reminded us of Jesus’ words in John 13—“no servant is greater than his master.” This Sunday will give us ample opportunity to put those words into practice as we once again turn our attention to the Master’s teaching in the…

Adultery and Divorce

February 11, 2024 · Rob Presthus · Matthew 5:27-32

“Old habits die hard.” How often have these words rung true in our ears—for better and for worse? The same might well have been said of the Jews of Jesus’ day when he told them, “You have heard it said, but I say unto you…” This week, as we conclude our time in the Sermon on…

Murder and Anger

February 4, 2024 · Kyle Rodgers · Matthew 5:21-26

A well known passage in the Sermon on the Mount. We can understand how Jesus equates Anger to Murder knowing that our chaotic anger causes harm to others, even ourselves. Are we not allowed to be angry? God got angry, Jesus got angry, can I get angry? In our anger, is…

Fulfillment of the Law

January 28, 2024 · Earl Anders · Matthew 5:17-20

In two verses (Matthew 5:17-18) we read the great significance of the law and the prophets, but even greater is the one—Jesus Christ—who came and fulfilled them! It is urgent and comforting to know our relationship with God is very secure through the life, death, and…

Salt and Light

January 21, 2024 · Tom Greco · Matthew 5:13-16

We are excited to welcome two leaders in Christian education who will be contributing to this Sunday’s worship service. Stephen Schrag is Head of Quakertown Christian and will be sharing a “mission moment” about how the Lord is shaping and leading the school. Also, QCS…

Beatitudes II

January 14, 2024 · Kyle Rodgers · Matthew 5:7-11

We spent time in the first half of the Beatitudes and this week Pastor Kyle will finish up these Kingdom attitudes. These Kingdom attitudes seem unrealistic. How can anyone follow these? Is that the point? These Kingdom attitudes are not meant to break us down but lift us up…

Kingdom Attitudes

January 7, 2024 · Earl Anders · Matthew 5:3-6

Meditate on this Sunday’s Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:3-6 This Sunday I am privileged to begin the first of a two-part series on the Beatitudes, which are the opening verses to the Sermon on the Mount. Scholars have attempted to give this sermon significance by calling it “The…

On Earth as it is in Heaven

December 31, 2023 · Rob Presthus · Matthew 5:1-2; 7:24-29

As we begin thinking about putting away the decorations and try to finish off the last of the holiday desserts before our New Years’ diets begin, may our refrains of “joy to the world” and “O come let us adore Him” resound throughout 2024 into Eternity! But the cost of…
