And His Own Did Not Receive Him | Matthew 13:53-58

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 13:53-58
Is there a danger of being too familiar with Jesus that you no longer take Him seriously or that He becomes boring? Matthew's Gospel reveals that many people who had the hardest time believing in Jesus were the ones who had been around Him the longest, which is a lesson for us.
Big Idea: Faith in Christ, not familiarity with Him, allows you to experience His kingdom blessing!
The Reaction: Being Amazed by Jesus Doesn’t Imply Faith in Him (53-54)
The Reason: Being Too Familiar with Jesus Often Hinders Faith in Him (55-56)
The Result: Being Offended by Jesus Reveals Unbelief in Him (57-58)

Dragnet & Householder: The Great Separation and Obligation | Matthew 13:47-52

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 13:47-52
Christ's final two parables in Matthew 13 are crucial. Even though each parable has its own meaning, both are related in that they call us to action. They demand a response from both sinners and saints. The lost must respond to the warning, and the saved must spread the warning and point people to Christ!
Big Idea: God’s judgment is delayed, but it is certain; therefore, warn and point sinners to Christ who stands ready to forgive and justify!
The Great Separation: Judgment is Delayed, But It is Certain
The Great Obligation: Warn and Point Sinners to Christ

The Heart of God in the Heart of the Gospel | John 1:14-18

A sermon by Kirill Belyakov from John 1:14-18
According to John's Gospel, Jesus bore witness to the love of God for mankind in a way we can relate to and trust. And that is the Gospel of hope, full of God's grace and truth; that is the Gospel we should believe and live by.
The Heart of God
The Heart of the Law
The Heart of the Gospel

Treasure & Pearl: A People for God’s Own Possession | Matthew 13:44-46

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 13:44-46
The parables of treasure and pearl are some of the most well-known of all the parables of Christ. The most common interpretation of these parables is this: the Kingdom of Heaven is worth giving up everything for! Certainly, this truth is emphasized throughout the Gospels and the rest of the NT. But as meaningful as this interpretation might be, there is a more contextually-informed, Christ-centered interpretation.
Big Idea: Behold your God who graciously gave up His own life to purchase you to be His treasured possession.
The Treasure Hunter: The King Himself
The Treasure: The Blessed People of the Kingdom
The Transaction: The King’s Work on Behalf of His People
