In this sermon, Pastor Chris Glover leads us through Jesus' message as he sends out disciples for ministry. We can trust that even in opposition Jesus promises his help and grace to accompany us.

Ministry can leave us tired, discouraged, and wondering if we’re doing enough. In Matthew 9:35–38, we see the heart of Jesus for weary people and discover that faithful ministry doesn’t ultimately run on effort, but on prayerful dependence on the Lord of the harvest. Join us as we learn how Christ’s compassion reshapes our mission and sustains us for the long haul.

In Matthew 9:18–34, we see a series of powerful stories that reveal Jesus as both strong and kind—able to heal the sick, raise the dead, and free the oppressed, while also showing deep compassion for the broken and hurting. From a weak woman to a grieving father to desperate beggars, each encounter invites us to see who Jesus really is. This sermon calls us not just to admire Him, but to trust Him, follow Him, and bring our struggles to Him together.

What kind of people does Jesus welcome into His kingdom? What does life with Him really look like? In Matthew 9, we’ll see that Jesus comes for sinners and invites us into a life shaped by mercy, joy, and grace. Join us as we learn how Christ reshapes our expectations and draws us closer to Himself.

In this sermon from Matthew 8:28–9:8, we explore the question, “What sort of man is Jesus?” by seeing His authority over demons, sin, and suffering. We discover that Jesus is not only powerful, but compassionate—able to judge evil and forgive sinners. This message invites us to bring whatever we are carrying to Him and find true comfort, freedom, and hope in Christ.

Following Jesus is costly, but it’s also good. In Matthew 8:18–27, Jesus brings the fine print to the front, showing us that true discipleship means surrendering comfort, realigning priorities, and trusting him even in the storms. Listen in to learn what it really means to follow Jesus.

Jesus has authority, but what does he do with it? In Matthew 8:1–17, we see a King who uses his power not to push people away, but to cleanse the unclean, welcome the outsider, and lift up the overlooked. This is the surprising heart of Christ and the kind of mercy he still offers today.

This sermon unpacks what it means to be and follow Christ-minded examples who make healthy followers of Jesus by looking at Timothy and Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:19-30.
