Matthew 10: 24-33 "The Encouragement"

Jesus told His disciples not to be afraid and to not fear those who threaten them.  He encouraged them by:

1. Letting them know the truth will be revealed one day

2. The message of the Gospel is to be preached to the world.

3. No need to be afraid because God cares for them.

We should not fear what a human can do to us, they cannot touch our spirit.​

Matthew 9: 35-38 "The Church That God Uses"

In these passages today, Pastor Anthony teaches us about 3 actions that the church needs to take:

1. GO and spread the Good News of the Lord, we need to seek those who are lost.
2. COMPASSION drives us into action so we can meet both physical and spiritual needs, this is how we build God's kingdom.
3. VISION is always asking ourselves "where are we going next?  What's our next ministry"?  There should be no time for laziness in the church.

We should let the size of our God determine the size of our goals.

Matthew 9: 18-34 "Desperate for Jesus"

Pastor Anthony delivers a powerful message of faith from these passages found in the book of Matthew.  He helps us to understand that Jesus will always respond to our desperate needs and make us whole.  In these passages, Jesus performs miracles that give life, heal the sick, give sight to the blind and heals a possessed man.

If you believe, Jesus will open your eyes, we need to seek after Him wholeheartedly.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 "God's Kintsugi"

Guest pastor James Benson, Fork Union Military Academy Chaplain, delivers a timely and powerful sermon today given the current broken climate of our country.

We see broken pieces all around us in relationships, communities, families and more.  With God's help anything can be fixed and be more beautiful than before.  God uses all of us in His story of redemption, not one of us is beyond His reach.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

Matthew 9: 14-17 "A Discussion Worth Having"

Sermon date: 9/27/2020

As Pastor Anthony leads us through these bible verses, he teaches that we are to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit and walk with Jesus daily.  We need to put all distractions of the flesh aside and focus on the presence of God. 

Listen along as we ask ourselves if we strive to walk with Jesus every day and seek His presence.
