Preaching Point: To properly grasp what Jesus says about the end times, we must understand both the disciples' historical understanding of the end times and the intentional gap God created in salvation history.Text: Matthew 24:1–3 (ESV)1 Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?

Preaching Point: Don't automatically assume you would respond to Jesus any differently than the Scribes and Pharisees; instead, examine how you are responding to him today, before it's too late.Text: Matthew 23: 29-36 (ESV) 29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? 34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 예수께서 입을 열어서 그들을 가르치셨다. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 "마음이 가난한 사람은 복이 있다. 하늘 나라가 그들의 것이다. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 슬퍼하는 사람은 복이 있다. 하나님이 그들을 위로하실 것이다. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 온유한 사람은 복이 있다. 그들이 땅을 차지할 것이다. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 의에 주리고 목마른 사람은 복이 있다. 그들이 배부를 것이다. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 자비한 사람은 복이 있다. 하나님이 그들을 자비롭게 대하실 것이다. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 마음이 깨끗한 사람은 복이 있다. 그들이 하나님을 볼 것이다. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 평화를 이루는 사람은 복이 있다. 하나님이 그들을 자기의 자녀라고 부르실 것이다. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10 의를 위하여 박해를 받은 사람은 복이 있다. 하늘 나라가 그들의 것이다. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 너희가 나 때문에 모욕을 당하고, 박해를 받고, 터무니없는 말로 온갖 비난을 받으면, 복이 있다. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 너희는 기뻐하고 즐거워하여라. 하늘에서 받을 너희의 상이 크기 때문이다. 너희보다 먼저 온 예언자들도 이와 같이 박해를 받았다." Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Money makes a terrible master. Jesus is clear: we cannot serve both God and money. Generosity is one practical way we fight for wholehearted devotion and keep God first. Text: Matthew 6:24, 33; 1Timothy 6:6-10,17-19 Speaker: Aaron Patton
Preaching Point: God wants us to reject a cultural Christianity that leads to judgement and appeal to him for a genuine righteousness that cleanses us from the inside out.Text: Matthew 23: 25-28 (ESV) 25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. 27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Preaching Point: Knowing what God values most should lead us to prioritize the weightier matters of Scripture without neglecting the rest.Text: Matthew 23:23–24 (ESV) 23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!

What we treasure reveals what we value—but giving also has the power to redirect our affections. Where our money goes, our heart often follows. Text: Matthew 6:21–23; Proverbs 3:9-10; Deuteronomy 14:22-23 Speaker: Aaron Patton
Preaching Point: Knowing that every word is spoken before God should remind us to reject all forms of deception and to speak with honesty, clarity, and integrity.Text: Matthew 23:16–22 (ESV) 16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.' 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.' 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.

Jesus calls us to store up treasure in heaven, reminding us that this world is not our home. Generosity helps loosen our grip on temporary things and strengthens our investment in what lasts forever. Text: Matthew 6:19-20; Philippians 3:17-20; Luke 12:13-21 Speaker: Aaron Patton
Preaching Point: Because false teachers zealously lead people away from Christ and toward judgment, we must reject their teaching and faithfully embrace the biblical gospel.Text: Matthew 23:13–15 (ESV) 13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.
Many of us have learned how to achieve, perform, and meet expectations—but few of us have learned how to truly live. We carry worries, pressures, and burdens that leave us exhausted.

Preaching Point: Because God humbles the proud and exalts the humble, we must earnestly combat our religious hypocrisy by displaying sincere, Christlike humility.Text: Matthew 23:1–12 (ESV) 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Two houses look identical—until the storm comes. Most of us don't lose our footing in one big, dramatic moment. We lose it slowly: when the ground keeps shifting beneath us, when a hard season makes us wonder if our faith was ever real, when devotion quietly fades without us noticing. We assume we're fine because we know the right things—we've heard the teaching, we agree with it, we could explain it to someone else. But hearing isn't building, and the gap between the two doesn't show up until pressure hits. In this opening message of our new series, Unshakable: Building a Faith That Stands, Teaching Pastor Christian Nichles walks through Jesus' words in Matthew 7:24–27 to show that a lasting faith isn't about knowing more—it's about doing what we already know. Agreeing with Jesus and building on Jesus are two different things. Text: Matthew 7:24–27 Take one step from hearing to obeying this week, before a storm makes the choice for you. This is Week 1 of Unshakable, a five-week series building a faith that doesn't move—from the foundation up.

Preaching Point: If we want to rightly worship Jesus, we must embrace him as both David's Son and David's Lord. Text: Matthew 22:41–46 (ESV) 41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet” '? 45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
