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 

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.  Today, we explore Jesus' invitation to learn a different way—one shaped by His wisdom that leads to rest for our souls.  Text Matthew 11

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.

Pastor Andy Cass Jesus had a way of getting people's attention that was impossible to ignore. In Matthew 21, He tells a story about a father and two sons that exposes a problem many of us still wrestle with today: we hear God's voice, but we struggle to follow through. Whether you're a dad, a parent, a leader, or simply someone who wants to grow in obedience, this message is an invitation to listen, lead, and love. TEXT: Matthew 21:28-32; Luke 13:6-9; Hebrews 3:15; Matthew 6:33; Hebrews 12:6 NOTES: -It's not too late to say “Yes” (again) -Learn to say “No” -Go to work (Go to the vineyard) -Hey Dad! Listen, Lead, and Love D.A.D.S. -Dig Deeper -Add What Helps -Develop Daily -Shape with Love The Problem & The Plan: Many of us don't have a hearing problem. We have a follow through problem. The plan is simple: listen to Jesus, follow through, and faithfully tend the vineyard He has entrusted to you. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Text - Matthew 20:25-28 by John Williams, pastor | Lord's Day Morning | 06.28.26

Text: Matthew 10:34-42. Jesus sends the apostles out, and prepares them for how they will be received. The people of the world will be forced to choose a side: are you for the coming of the kingdom of God, or against it?  Support the showVisit us at intheway.org or stjohnspembroke.org. 

Text: Matthew 6:19-24; variousTheme: Our heart and our money are connected. Jesus said so. Then He goes on to tell us that we will serve something or somebody…so what's it going to be for you?Memory Verse: Matthew 6:24 (NIV) “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49625316

Join us as we continue to make our way through the Sermon on the Mount. This week, Jesus speaks to lust, divorce, and the failure of seeing others as merely objects for our use.    Text: Matthew 5:27-32

In this text, Jesus begins to highlight the resistance that the Apostle's may encounter as He sends them out. It is a good reminder that Christianity comes with a cost. Text: Matthew 10:24-39

Preaching Point: Jesus teaches us to measure genuine faith by how comprehensive we love God and how sincerely we love others. Text: Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV) The Great Commandment 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Text: Matthew 6:16-18; variousTheme: Again, we can do the right things for the wrong reasons. This week we'll talk about the power and practice of fasting…as well as give some suggestions for things we can fast from besides food.Memory Verse: Matthew 6:16 (NIV) “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49620696

How do you handle anger, especially anger towards another believer? Jesus has some very practical, and uncomfortable, statements to make when we're angry with a fellow Christian.  Text: Matthew 5:21-26

In today's text we notice a shift in Jesus' ministry. Not a change in what He was doing – but a change in how He would do it. Text: Matthew 9:35 – 10:23 This message was delivered on June 14, 2026 at Amity UCC in Meyersdale, PA.

Text: Matthew 6:5-15; variousTheme: Jesus' model prayer is not just something to be repeated, but something that shows us the keys to communicating with our loving Father. This week we'll dive into this meaningful and powerful prayer to understand how we can talk to OUR FATHER.Memory Verse: Matthew 6:9a (NIV) “This, then, is how you should pray:…”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49617430

Welcome to our "Summer Series" - the Sermon (Summer) on the Mount. In this sermon, Pastor Nick revisits many of the points discussed earlier this year in Epiphany from these same verses as we reframe and "set up" this slow walk through the most famous sermon ever delivered.  Text: Matthew 5:1-20

Preaching Point: : Jesus' rebuke must warn us against rejecting biblical truth through faulty reasoning and encourage us to trust God's power and God's Word, even when confronted with difficult doctrines.Text: Matthew 22:23–33 (ESV) 23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.' 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” 29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

Text: Matthew 25:14-285 Traits of the Lord's Servant: Connected, Clear, Compliant, Consistent, and Courageous

Preaching Point: Jesus' words should corner our rebellious hearts and cause us to regularly submit to our God-given earthly authorities, while reserving our ultimate allegiance and submission for the King of Kings.Text: Matthew 22:15–22 (ESV)15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.

Text: Matthew 5:43-48; variousTheme: While Jesus' words throughout the Sermon on the Mount are challenging, this might be near the top of the list for “most difficult to do” in real life. The good news is this: Jesus can help you with this one!Memory Verse: Matthew 5:43-44 (NIV) “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love yourneighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,…”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49612313

Text: Matthew 5:38-42; variousTheme: We want to get even when someone wrongs us, that's part of the “fairness” that God has wired us with. But more than just fairness, God has a better plan for His children.Memory Verse: Matthew 5:39 (NIV) “But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49607880

The Great Commission | Matthew 28:16-20 In this sermon from Matthew 28:16-20, we look at the final words of Jesus before his ascension — what we call the Great Commission — and ask what it means for every follower of Christ today. If you've ever wondered what your purpose is as a Christian, why the church exists, or what it actually means to make disciples, this message is for you.

Text: Matthew 5:33-37; variousTheme: There is power in our words, but there also needs to be clarity. This Mother's Day weekend we'll look at what Jesus says about the value of when we say YES or NO.Memory Verse: Matthew 5:37 (NIV) “All you need to say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49604399

Pastor Andy Cass Comparison slowly opens the door to lust, envy, and relational drift. What begins in the eyes eventually settles in the heart and, if left unchecked, can destroy what God has entrusted to you. In this message, we unpack how lust is more than sexual temptation. It's a disordered desire for what God hasn't given you. Jesus calls us beyond comparison, beyond consumption, and back into love that honors, protects, and builds. TEXT: Matthew 20:15; Exodus 20:17; Proverbs 6:23–25; Matthew 5:27–30; James 4:2; Song of Songs 2:3 NOTES: BIG IDEA- Lust never builds, it always breaks. RELATIONAL QUESTIONS * Are you content… or are you complaining? * Are you grateful… or are you grumbling? * Are you longing… or are you lusting? * Are you looking within… or are you longing for what is beyond yours? * Are you building… or are you breaking? -Lust isn't just sexual… it's a disordered desire for what God hasn't given you. -Lust lives in the heart and it looks through your eyes. -Lust is a deep desire that, if entertained long enough, will eventually dictate your behavior. -Lust is window shopping… with a willingness to use a hammer when no one's looking to get what you want. -Lust alwasy leads to lose -Lust is the opposite of love… it's a distortion of God's perfect design. "Lust is about consumption. Love is about communion. Lust is about taking. Love is about giving. Lust uses. Love honors. Lust diminishes the other. Love cherishes the other." -Rich Vallodas Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

The commandments of God go much deeper than just "don't do"; the attitude behind adultery, and all sin, is what condemns a soul. Pastor Lance explains how the Law of God regulates how I love God, which is the sum of the entire Bible. Text: Matthew 5:27-30.

Text: Matthew 5:31-32; variousTheme: 50% of American marriages end in divorce, so most of us will have some experiencewith this week's subject. Buckle up, we need to be clear on what Jesus and the Bible have to say about this critical issue.Memory Verse: Matthew 5:32 (NIV) “But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49600905

This is a series of parables (fictional stories with kingdom truth) of the Kingdom of God! In this message, we step into one of the most challenging and transformative teachings of Jesus—His call to love not just those who love us, but even our enemies.In a world that runs on retaliation, division, and keeping score, Jesus invites us into a radically different way of living. He shows us that the Kingdom of God is marked by a love that goes beyond comfort, beyond preference, and beyond what feels natural. It's a love that reflects the very heart of the Father—one who gives grace freely, extends kindness to all, and calls His children to do the same.This isn't just about being nice; it's about becoming whole. Jesus is forming something deeper in us—a love that mirrors heaven and reveals who we truly belong to. Join us as we discover what it means to live with a love that stands out, breaks barriers, and points people back to the heart of God.Text: Matthew 5:42-48For more information about Journey Church, visit: www.journeyinbend.com Find Journey on all social media: @journeyinbend Find Pastor Montell Jordan on social media: @montellmjordanPlease feel free to subscribe and engage!

Christ said that the children in His kingdom manifest a certain morality, a morality that stems from inside of them. Pastor Lance lays out the heart of anger and hate that Scripture says is the sin of murder. So have you murdered anyone lately? Text: Matthew 5:21-16.

This is a series of parables (fictional stories with kingdom truth) of the Kingdom of God! In this message, we dive into one of Jesus' most challenging teachings, about how important the F word is to the Kingdom of Heaven: FORGIVENESS!How many times are we required to forgive? Peter thought seven was generous, but Jesus raises the stakes. This parable reveals that our ability to forgive others is directly tied to our understanding of how much we have been forgiven by God. If we've been released from an unpayable debt, why should we hold onto the "pocket change" others owe us?Text: Matthew 18:21-35For more information about Journey Church, visit: www.journeyinbend.com Find Journey on all social media: @journeyinbend Find Pastor Keith on social media: @findkeithPlease subscribe and engage.
