Even when the urge and temptation is strong, you are not alone - get to know the One who is stronger!   Text: Matthew 4:1-11; Proverbs 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 10:13 Speaker: Dan Snyder

Preaching Point: Since we don't know the day or hour of the end, we must remain vigilant and ready at all times for Christ's return. Text: Matthew 24:36–44 (ESV) 36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

We're back in the Sermon on the Mount, looking at the Scripture's clear direction on divorce and remarriage, beginning with marriage as a purposeful, permanent, precious and predetermined union from God.

Those who are sent as “laborers for his vineyard” (Matt. 20:1) depict the wide diversity of vocations to which the disciples of Christ Jesus are called. Whatever our particular stations in life may be, we are called to live and serve by faith in His promises. Our labors do not merit anything before Him, for He is already generous to one and all without partiality. In mercy, He has chosen to bear “the burden of the day and the scorching heat” on our behalf, to make us equal to Himself and to give us what belongs to Him, that is, the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 20:12–15). This way of the Lord is foolishness to the world and foreign to our thoughts, but He draws near, so that “he may be found” (Is. 55:6), “have compassion” and “abundantly pardon” (Is. 55:7). So it is that we are found in Christ Jesus, and He is honored in our bodies, “whether by life or by death” (Phil. 1:20), by “fruitful labor” (Phil. 1:22) or by suffering. It is by faith in His forgiveness that our works are “worthy of the gospel” (Phil. 1:27).

Sometimes the hardest thing isn't what we have—it's noticing what we think we should have. Today, we explore the subtle pull of comparison and hear Jesus' surprising question when we wonder, “What about me?”  Text: Matthew 20.  

Pastor Noah HartmannSermon Theme: Is God Fair?Text: Matthew 20:1-16Worship FolderSt. Paul's Lutheran Church, North Mankato, MN

There's much confusion surrounding the church, but what is it? Is it necessary or is it a man made construct? Is it something that Christians must be a part of or is it optional? Is the church spiritually beneficial or can you grow on your own? We will explore just how precious the church is to Jesus!1) What is the church?2) Why does it matter?3) Where do I fit?Text: Matthew 16:13-20

Text: Matthew 20:1-16. Humans obsess over what is fair. The Lord is committed to a generosity that is above our ways and thoughts.  Support the showVisit us at intheway.org or stjohnspembroke.org. 

What do you do when you need to heal but just can't seem to get past the pain? Jesus gives us a pathway.  Text: Matthew 27:26-31; Luke 23:34; Ephesians 4:32 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Preaching Point: Knowing Christ's words will outlast the world should cause you to trust his promises and live for what will last. Text: Matthew 24:32–35 (ESV) 32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

In settling His accounts with us, our Lord acts not with anger, but with compassion. He does not imprison us as we deserve, but He forgives all our debts and releases us (Matt. 18:23–27). Therefore, our Lord bids each of us to have “mercy on your fellow servant” and “forgive your brother from your heart” (Matt. 18:33, 35). By the Lord's forgiveness of our sins, we are free to forgive those who sin against us, because He has been handed over to the jailers in our stead and He has paid our entire debt with His lifeblood. Whether we live or die, we “are the Lord's” (Rom. 14:8). Since we all will “stand before the judgment seat of God,” we are not to despise our brother (Rom. 14:10), but gladly forgive him. By the grace of God, our brother also “will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand” (Rom. 14:4). Though we daily sin against each other, the Lord intends “to bring it about that many people should be kept alive” (Gen. 50:20). Jesus speaks kindly by His Gospel and promises: “I will provide for you and your little ones” (Gen. 50:21).

Join Pastor Mike Burchfield as he starts a new series, Discourses of the King of Heaven, Part 2. This Sunday he will be discussing: How Does the Kingdom Come? Text: Matthew 13:1-23 "That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables..."

Text: Matthew 18:21-35. On this homecoming Sunday, Jesus answers Peter's question: "How often should I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Do we recognize how much has been forgiven us?  Support the showVisit us at intheway.org or stjohnspembroke.org. 

Text: Matthew 6:24ff

Preaching Point: Every Christian should long for the glorious return of Christ, when he will unmistakably appear to judge the nations and establish his kingdom!Text: Matthew 24:29–31 (ESV) 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

It may be something that happened yesterday- or something we experienced when we were young. The moment may pass, the conversation may end, and life may move on—but something remains.  An entanglement. A toxic chord. A tie knotted so tightly that even today, we're still not free.  Text: Matthew 6:12

Preaching Point: Jesus' warnings to those living during the Tribulation should compel us to remain watchful in our own day as we eagerly await Christ's return to abolish evil and establish his Kingdom.Text: Matthew 24:15–28 (ESV) 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!' or ‘There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

Text: Matthew 16:22-28. It is one thing to recognize Jesus as "the Christ, the Son of the Living God." It is another to know what the Lord's Christ will do. What is God's character, and how does he work his will in our lives?   Support the showVisit us at intheway.org or stjohnspembroke.org. 

In Matthew 23:29–36, Jesus exposes the final evidence of the religious leaders' hypocrisy. They honored the prophets of the past, decorated their tombs, and insisted that they would never have participated in their persecution. Yet when God's Word stood before them—and when God sent His messengers to them—they rejected the very truth they claimed to honor.The problem was not a lack of religious knowledge. It was a heart unwilling to submit to the Word of God.In this sermon, “The Word You Cannot Bury,” Todd Fletcher examines Jesus' sobering warning to the scribes and Pharisees and the long history of mankind attempting to silence God's truth and those who proclaim it. Prophets may be rejected, persecuted, and killed, but the Word they proclaim cannot be buried. God's truth remains, and every generation is accountable for how it responds.Text: Matthew 23:29–36Title: The Word You Cannot BurySpeaker: Todd FletcherMay this passage cause us not merely to admire faithful believers of the past, but to receive, believe, and obey the same Word of God for which they were willing to suffer.“Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes…” — Matthew 23:34#Matthew23 #ToddFletcher #BibleExposition #ExpositoryPreaching #JesusChrist #WordOfGod #ChristianSermon #Gospel #BiblicalTruth

Preaching Point: The worldwide birth pains that precede Christ's return and mark the beginning of God's judgment will not keep the gospel from advancing, but they should remind us to warn others to flee God's wrath by turning from sin and trusting in Christ today, so they will not undergo the Tribulation to come!Text: Matthew 24: 4-14 (ESV) 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Text: Matthew 16:13-21. Jesus asks the question that all of the Gospel of Matthew has been building toward: having heard these things, who do you say that I am? Our answer can be a rock to get it through tough times and give us love even for our enemies.  Support the showVisit us at intheway.org or stjohnspembroke.org. 

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?

Text: Matthew 13.44-46 Speaker: Lance Williams Date: August 9, 2026

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.
