Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 14:27-31
As Jesus and His disciples left from their final meal together, Jesus gives a final shocking prophecy: they will all desert Him and fall away. But even though their desertion will be painful for Jesus, it is by God’s design that He would be the good shepherd who’d scatter the flock of Israel.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:4-9
As Paul begins his letter to the church in Corinth, there is an important lesson for the believer today. No matter how bad or weak a church is, if it is indeed a church, we can express authentic love and thankfulness for the graces God has given them.

Scripture: Mark 14:22-26
As Jesus eats with His disciples in the last legitimate Passover meal, He establishes one of two ordinances for the church. However, there has been a lot of confusion about the significance of what communion actually is, and what it communicates about the uniqueness of the church.

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
The church in Corinth had every resource available to be a faithful and mature congregation. Instead, it was marked by sin, immaturity, and pride. Nevertheless, as Paul opens his letter, he expresses authentic love and thankfulness not because of who they are, but because of Christ in them.

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:1-3
Paul writes to the church in Corinth, where he once spent eighteen months ministering and equipping the flock. But now they had adopted an easy-believism gospel, and looked more like the world than saints of God. Now, as is the case with many churches, they were in desperate need of revitalization!

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 14:1-9
As Jesus concludes His Olivet Discourse, plans to betray and crucify Him are gaining traction. Of course, even plans to crucify Christ don’t contradict God’s plan, as a flashback to just a few days earlier shows that God was preparing His Son for burial even before He entered Jerusalem.

Scripture: Mark 13:32-37
Every Christmas Eve, children from around the world wait eagerly in expectation of a mythical gift-giver’s annual advent, and he can only come once the children are sleeping. But Christ’s second advent will be different in every way. His return is no myth, and we will not know the day or the hour it will be. And furthermore, we will not want to be asleep in the Lord’s service when He returns!

Scripture: Micah 2:1-9
On the doorstep of a Babylonian conquest when all would appear to be lost due to Judah’s sinful rebellion against God, God informs His people through the prophet Micah that He will still be faithful to His promises, sending hope in a ruler to be born in Bethlehem.
