After he broke his promise to Jesus, Peter wept bitterly. Peter was an absolutely broken man in the profoundest possible way, and yet within weeks he was poised as the leader of a new movement, about to become one of the most influential leaders in the history of the world. What broke Peter like this, and then what restored him so quickly? The answer is the same: promises. Promises are the reason he was broken, and promises are the reason he was restored. And the case of Peter tells us more about the power of commitments than, I think, any other incident in the Scripture. Let's look at what Peter learned: 1) how promises make us, and 2) how we can make promises. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 12, 1995. Series: The Seven Deadly Sins. Scripture: Matthew 26:69-75.

What does it really mean to be a peacemaker?In this sermon from our Grounded series, Pastor Jeremy Duncan unpacks Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”We'll explore: • The difference between peacekeeping (avoiding conflict) and peacemaking (creating transformation) • How Jesus' teaching on turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and walking the extra mile reveal a radical third way of nonviolent resistance • Why following Jesus invites us to courage, honesty, and reconciliation in our relationships, our communities, and our world

Scripture: Matthew 5:9; 2 Cor. 5:17-20Resources for a life of following Jesus, every day, everywhere, with everyone.

Scripture:Matthew 6:9-13 NLTMatthew 7:0-11 NIVMatthew 21:22 NIVJames 5:15 NIVMatthew 7:7-8 NIVPhilippians 4:6 NIV Quotes:Petitionary prayer should always remain the primary mode of prayer because we never can outgrow our dependence on God. Just as we long for our own children to share with us the petty details of their day at school, so God longs to hear from us the smallest matters of our lives. It delights him when we share. - Richard Foster, PrayerLove loves to be told what it knows already. It wants to be asked what it longs to give. - PT Forsyth, Soul of PrayerThen there are times when our prayers are simply self-contradictory, a “grant me patience” quickly kind of prayer. And finally sometimes our prayers if answered would do us in. We simply are not yet prepared for what we have asked. It is God's grace that prevent our prayers from being answered. God withholds his gifts from us for our good. Studies have found that the act of forgiveness can reap huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack, improving cholesterol levels and sleep, and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress, and research points to an increase in the forgiveness-health connection as you age. “There is an enormous physical burden to being hurt and disappointed,” Chronic anger puts you into a fight-or-flight mode, which results in numerous changes in heart rate, blood pressure and immune response. Those changes, then, increase the risk of depression, heart disease and diabetes, among other conditions. Forgiveness, however, calms stress levels, leading to improved health. - HopkinsMedicine.orgPoints:Give us what we need todayForgive us our sins as we forgive othersDeliver us

In this message, we will examine the extent of just how far the love and forgiveness of Jesus can go, as seen in the story of one of Israel's chief offenders: Matthew, the Tax Collector. In doing so, we'll consider Christ's mercy that is available for sinners like us as well. Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13

Happiness isn't found in money, power, pleasure, or prestige—it's found in God alone. Jesus reminds us: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21 (NIV) The world tells us to measure happiness by what we own, achieve, or enjoy. But those things fade. God calls us to set our hearts on Him, the One who never fails, the wellspring of lasting joy and peace. When our treasure is in Christ, our hearts are steady, our perspective shifts, and our lives overflow with meaning greater than ourselves. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

In this episode of the Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss the last teachings of Jesus. What does it look like to be great in the kingdom of God? Do we really want the upside down kingdom of God? How should the teaching and the life of Jesus transform how we see all of Scripture and our own hearts?

For over 2,000 years, the church has endured—through persecution, cultural shifts, and changing empires—because Jesus Himself promised, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18).This message explores the unstoppable plan of Christ to establish His church as the hope of the world. The church is not a human institution—it is a divine movement, built on the foundation of Jesus and sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Scripture: Matthew 7:1-12

Scripture: Matthew 6 / Zack Thurman

After 9 months studying the Old Testament, this week's episode of the Story of Scripture discusses the Gospel of Matthew. How are these first chapters of the New Testament connected to the people and story of the Old Covenant? What does the beginning of this book communicate about the identity and purposes of Jesus? What is the same, what is really new, and how can we discover the foundational message of Jesus' ministry? 

In English, the word Immanuel has only eight letters. Yet I tell you it is heavier than the heavens and the earth. In that one word, Immanuel, you have the most offensive and the most comforting, the most repulsive and the most attractive message the world has ever heard. It means “God with us.” Let's see how this message 1) is the most repulsive because it says Jesus Christ is God, and 2) is the most attractive because it says Jesus Christ is God with us. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 19, 1993. Series: Understanding Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 1:20–23.

In this message, we'll explore Jesus' sovereign power over the wind and the waves, further vindicating Him as the promised Messianic King, who came not only to still seas, but to save souls.   Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 The Great Commission 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Key Takeaways: + The Identity Jesus Claims Daniel 7:13-14 Acts 17:30-31 "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God? That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity. "The sane man does not believe that he is God; the sane man does not believe that he will rise from the dead. If Jesus said those things, He was either speaking the truth, or He was insane." – G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man. + The Judgment Jesus Delivers + The Criteria by which Jesus Judges John 10:14–15 Matthew 10:40–42 1 Corinthians 4:9–13  Galatians 6:10 1 John 3:14 1 John 3:16–18 3 John 5–8

In this message, we'll look at three common excuses for why we struggle to follow Jesus, as well as three compelling priorities that will shape us as fully-surrendered disciples.   Scripture: Matthew 8:18-22

Francis Schaeffer said, “Ideas have consequences.” If people believe false ideas, they inevitably act on them in disastrous ways. The only solution to such false ideas is to replace them with the truth. Theology and doctrine matter. In this series, we will work through important doctrine for followers of Jesus to understand as they strive to follow Jesus. This week, we explore baptism and communion through the Doctrine of the Ordinances. Scripture: Matthew 3:13–17 (ESV) // Luke 22:14–20 (ESV) Speaker: Michael Bayne
