The Sermon on the Mount
A New Year Won't Help Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin opens a 12-week series through Matthew 5 (The Sermon on the Mount), using the Beatitudes to explain why New Year's resolutions and self-effort fail to produce lasting spiritual change. He sets the historical context: people were hopeful because Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God was near and proved it by healing, but when Jesus described kingdom life the crowd felt burdened and inadequate.
5 Marks of a Marketplace Missionary
The preacher challenges Christians to view their workplaces as mission fields, grounding the talk in Matthew 5:13-16 (you are salt and light). He argues Christians should bring integrity, contagious excellence, hospitality, a missionary mindset, and a "redemptive edge" into their jobs so their presence is noticed and culture is renewed.
Overcoming Anger & Lust - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' hard teaching about anger and lust. He explains that Jesus raises the standard from external obedience to the condition of the heart - anger toward others and lustful looks are judged.
Relationships God's Way - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' teaching about divorce and the surrounding issues of marriage and sexual sin. He first defines a biblical view of marriage - a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman meant to display Christ's covenant love - and warns against idolizing marriage as a source of personal fulfillment.
For God's Glory or Mine - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from Matthew 6:1-8, arguing that much of Christian life is meant to be lived in the unseen and that God cares about the motives behind our public acts. Jesus warns against practicing righteousness for recognition - giving, fasting, and prayer should flow from intimacy with the Father, not a desire for a platform or applause.
Go Talk To Your Dad - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches through the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6) as part of a verse-by-verse series on the Sermon on the Mount. He argues that prayer is not optional or mystical but a learnable habit and the primary means of connecting with God.
Does Fasting Work? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on fasting from Matthew 6 within the Sermon on the Mount, explaining fasting as a spiritual practice meant to remind us that God - not food - is our sustainer. He emphasizes that fasting without prayer is pointless and that Jesus pairs fasting and prayer because prayer turns up the voice of God while fasting turns down the voice of the world.
What Jesus Thinks About Money - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin walks the congregation through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 about treasure and Mammon, correcting common money misconceptions: that churches only want money, that all churches are sketchy with finances, and that money itself is evil. He argues Jesus and Scripture focus heavily on money because it reveals the heart, and insists the biblical problem is the love of money (Mammon), not money itself.
The War Against Worry - Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preaches on Jesus' command in Matthew 6:25-34 to stop living in anxiety and to reorient our focus from self to God. He shares his personal struggle with panic disorder to illustrate how worry can cripple life and ministry, then explains that worry is ultimately a form of unbelief and misplaced worship.
Don't Judge Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin examines Matthew 7:1 in context and argues Jesus is not prohibiting all judgment but calling for right judgment. He explains that biblical judgment requires first examining your own sin, acting from humility, and aiming to help restore others.
The Slippery Slope of Sin - Harrison Conley
Harrison Conley uses David’s fall (2 Samuel 11-12) to show how big moral failures usually grow out of small, unguarded compromises. He traces David’s descent as a sequence of small steps (stayed, saw, sent, slept, schemed, sorrowed), arguing that isolation, boredom, and unchecked thoughts open the door to sin.
Why'd You Build It Like That? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin finishes the series on the Sermon on the Mount by preaching from Matthew 7:21-27 about two builders - one who builds on rock (Jesus) and one who builds on sand. His main argument is that hearing Jesus' words is not enough; obedience and applying Scripture are what create a firm, storm‑proof foundation.
