In Matthew 26:1-13, Jesus has just concluded his public ministry and has returned to the friendly confines of a friend’s home in Bethany. While there, a woman pours out expensive perfume on him in an act of love and adoration. While his disciples aren’t sure this was such a great use of valuable perfume, Jesus praises the act. Friend of Exeter Valley Church Lori Riley, shows us how this act isn’t a waste, it’s worship.
IIn this scene from the Garden of Gethsemene, the gospels depict Jesus’s overwhelming sorrow as he faces the reality of his impending death.
Michael Seaward shows us why this agony was so intense and what we can learn from the prayer it led Jesus to pray.
Noel Piepgrass teaches from Matthew 15. In these 3 stories, we see the church Jesus is gathering, which consists of people of any ethnicity who have recognized their need for him. This chapter concludes with a beautiful picture of the church gathered.
In Matthew 10:40-42, Jesus wraps up his sermon on mission with a specific word to those who receive other Christians. In this teaching, Noel Piepgrass explains that to receive a Christian brother or sister on mission is the same as receiving Jesus himself or even God the Father.
In this message, Noel shows us how Judas’s shame brought about his self-destruction. We too battle shame, but we have hope in Jesus who sets us free!
In Matthew 13:1-23, Jesus begins his sermon of parables with a story about a farmer who’s sowing seeds. The seed falls upon 4 different soils and we’re told, by Jesus, that each type of soil represents a heart condition. In this sermon, Pastor Noel Piepgrass shares how the heart can be hard, shallow, or distracted and thus unable to receive the seed of the gospel and thrive. Finally, Noel points us to Jesus, the one who makes our soil good as we turn to him through repentance. (sermon credit due, Danny Bartlett, whose work Pastor Noel drew heavily from)
