Back to Basics: The Deity of the Son

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Selected Scriptures

The assault against the Deity of Christ is a critical issue in Christianity. But are accusations such as “the Old Testament never teaches the Deity of the Messiah,” or “Jesus Himself never claimed to be God” true? Answering these questions is crucial. This is the very bedrock of our faith.

The Enduring Church: Tender-Hearted and Devoted to Love

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon

Scripture: Selected Scriptures

In this final characteristic of the enduring church, what is perhaps the greatest threat to the church that is theologically and philosophically sound? Where are the danger zones for a church that is well versed in the Word and defends the truth? It is when truth comes at the expense of love.

Back to Basics: The Holy Trinity

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Selected Scriptures

The Trinitarian God-head is the foundational doctrine of the Christian faith. It is this singular God, expressed in three Persons that we worship. Any other God is not the God of the revealed Word.

The Enduring Church: United in Purpose

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon

Scripture: Philippians 2:1-11, 14-18

Even the church that is theologically sound and zealous for Christ isn’t in danger of the enemy’s attack, but where should such a church be especially on guard? In Philippians 2, Paul instructs on the importance of unity in the church and the danger of dividing over disputable matters.

Add. Ref.: John 17:17, 22-23, 25-16; Joshua 22:5-6, 10-12, 16, 22-27, 30-31

Back to Basics: The Sovereignty of God

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon

Scripture: Selected Scriptures

The sovereignty of God is one of the most comforting and freeing aspects of God’s character, but it also happens to be the character many people struggle with the most. It is not because God’s sovereignty isn’t clearly taught however. Rather, the fact that most have no problem accepting God’s absolute sovereignty over creation, but only as it relates to salvation, ultimately reveals that the real struggle is with our fleshly desire for independence.

The Enduring Church: Anxious for Nothing

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon

Scripture: Philippians 4:1-7

Every year in America, more than 4,000 churches close their door. Nine out of ten pastors will quite. Such statistics, and many more prove the instability of the church today. However, the church’s stability has little to do the economy, finances, or building locations, but the theological convictions of the people of God. In this message, Matt Tarr shows why anxiety and fear is antithetical to a church that lasts.

Add. Ref.: Genesis 49:3-4
