When money gets tight, where does your peace go? Jesus warns that no one can serve both God and mammon. In Matthew 6:24-34, He connects our anxiety about material needs with the First Commandment. The story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17 shows how God provides through means no one would expect.

Jesus points to the birds and lilies as witnesses to His Father's care. The God who created us and redeemed us through Christ will not abandon us. The sermon concludes with Luther's morning and evening prayers as a simple way to begin and end each day in that trust.

This sermon dives into Galatians 5 and the dangerous territory between receiving God's gifts and walking away from the Giver. Pastor Grant unpacks what Paul means when he warns that those who practice the works of the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God — and why that warning matters for people already sitting in church pews.

The sermon challenges comfortable assumptions about grace and confronts the "once saved, always saved" teaching head-on.

If you've ever wondered what "walking by the Spirit" actually looks like in daily life, or if the tension between grace and obedience has confused you, this sermon brings clarity.

Everyone knows the Good Samaritan parable, but most people think the takeaway is simply "be a good person." It's not.

In this sermon, Pastor Karl Grant examines the conversation that actually triggers the parable: a religious expert testing Jesus, convinced he can earn eternal life through law-keeping. What follows — the Good Samaritan parable — is a reorientation of how we understand mercy and charity as they relate to God's Law.
