Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 12:1-12
While Jesus’ parables were deliberately spoken to obscure His message from those who had rejected the truth, this parable is understood by His enemies because they know the parable is about them, exposing their brazenly murderous hearts.
Add. Ref.: Mark 4:12; Isaiah 5:1-7

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon
Scripture: Psalm 1
In the opening Psalm of the Psalter, the psalmist contrasts how significantly different the way of the righteous is from the way of the wicked. In fact, it is so significantly different that the righteous cannot even entertain the counsel of the unregenerate, but instead takes his counsel from the Word of God.

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 11:27-33
As Jesus again enters Jerusalem, the Sanhedrin confront Him once again in the Temple. However, Jesus asks them a question, and demonstrates that they’re really not interested in the truth. Instead, they’d rather give an answer with the least political consequences.

Scripture: Psalm 4
Christians everywhere have experienced slander, misrepresentation, and suffering, and although the historical context of Psalm 4 is unknown, it is clear that David is deeply distressed by those who have turned against him. Nevertheless, David doesn’t despair, but turns to God and then calls the rebellious to consider their ways and repent.

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 11:22-25
As Jesus and His disciples return to Jerusalem, the disciples notice the fig tree Jesus cursed the day before. Dead from the inside out, the tree illustrated the uselessness and coming destruction of the Temple. But with the Temple gone, how could believers commune with God? In this passage, Jesus gives three necessities to effectual prayer.
Add. Ref.: James 4:2-3

Pastor Matt Tarr – PM Sermon
Scripture: Psalm 3
David’s life is in complete chaos all around him; he is at one of the lowest points in his life. He is being pursued by thousands to be killed at the command of his very own son Absalom. What’s more? They even believe that they are on God’s side. So how is it that David can respond so confidently that he would sleep so soundly under such circumstances?
Add. Ref.: 2 Samuel 7 & 14

Pastor Matt Tarr – AM Sermon
Scripture: Mark 11:12-21
The day after Jesus’ triumphal entry, he now enters into the city of Jerusalem. Perhaps the Jews believed as the Messiah He would overthrow the Roman garrison, but undoubtedly to their surprise, He overthrows their temple and confronts their hypocritical worship.
Add. Ref.: 2 Timothy 3:4-5; Isaiah 5:1-7
