Called to Walk  Click here Click title to view sermon Matthew 21: 23–32
Summary: The work of Christians is to be focused on building up, not tearing down. It is to reach out a helping hand, not to point fingers. Christ has shown us what to do, and has illustrated it by his life of love and healing. That is where we are called to walk.

Showing Up  Click here Click title to view sermon Matthew 21: 23–32
Matthew 21: 28–32 for LFM
Summary: Scheduling is tricky. Whether we’re on the inviting or the attending side of things, and whether we have responded “yes” or “no,” circumstances may change whether we “show up.” Jesus takes this common experience and helps us notice the ways we do this with God as well. Surprisingly, the people we least expect are the ones who tend to show up for God, while the highly “religious” often don’t. What about us?

The Right Deed  Click here Click title to view sermon Matthew 21: 28–32
Summary: God wants us to work on the intentions of our heart, but as this parable shows us, the right action or the right deed is good enough for a start. Our intentions can catch up as we allow the grace of God to permeate our lives along the way.

What Jesus Did Do  Click here Click title to view sermon Philippians 2: 1–13

Matthew 21: 28–32 for LFM

To be Filled with Christ, We First Must Empty Ourselves  Click here Click title to view sermon Philippians 2: 1–13
Philippians 2: 1–11 for LFM
Summary: 

As we work to rid ourselves of those aspects of ourselves that would compete with Christ for space within our hearts and minds, we can become more authentic followers of Jesus, who himself experienced a self-emptying that left behind his privileges of divinity so he could show us how to live.
