In this message, we learn about the heart reasons behind the ancient practice called “tithing.” Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various

In this opening message of our series, we learn how so much evil is the result of money problems, and so many money problems are the result of a heart problem. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: 1 Timothy 6:6-10

As we conclude this series, Pastor Jeff challenges us to embrace the commitment to “with” instead of settling for “against.” Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various

Which version of you is the best one? It’s the one characterized by love, and here’s how God’s gonna make it happen! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various

When something isn’t working right, sometimes you just gotta kill the power and start it up again. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various

In this introductory message, Pastor Jeff encourages us to make sure we blame the right things. Specifically, when we fear the growing power of other people, the question to ask is not why they are getting powerful but why do we feel so powerless when we know God? Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Ephesians 3:16-21

In this message, Jeff Mikels reviews all 31 messages from the series and tackles a live Q & A session. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew

The last words of the book of Matthew contain what we call the Great Commission, Jesus’ official mission statement for his followers. But the bookends for that mission are even more powerful! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 28:16-20

The most important event in human history is the Resurrection of Jesus. Matthew wants you to be confident in it. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 27:54-28:15

Jesus’ crucifixion forms the first half of the most important event in human history, but the unmistakable truth we learn from it is that following our Savior means embracing a cross. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 27:1-54

In this chapter, we see a stark contrast between those who are willing to embrace sacrifice and those who aren’t. Once again, we see the losers are the real winners. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 26

In this second message on the end of the world, Jesus focuses on what it means for us to be ready for his return. There are seven steps. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 24:32-25:46

In this message, we study what Jesus had to say about the end times specifically regarding his glorious return after a time of great “tribulation.” Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 24:1-31

Have you ever had a friend tell you that they would be a Christian except for all the hypocrites? Have you ever had someone tell you they hated “Organized Religion”? If so, your friends needs to know how much Jesus is like them! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 23

Can Jesus be trusted? In this section, Matthew demonstrates that Jesus knows the Bible better than anyone else, so what he says about the most important commandment should be our own rule for life. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 22:15-46

The implications of the Fig Tree miracle become clear as Jesus confronts people who are fake and fruitless. There’s a message here that is both scary and encouraging! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 21:23-22:14

When Jesus entered the Jerusalem, he fulfilled the OT prophecies about the Messiah, but he did it by kicking out the insiders and welcoming outsiders in! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 21:1-22

In these two chapters, we see Jesus finish his teaching about what Kingdom living is really all about. We learn about marriage, divorce, wealth, children, and heavenly rewards along the way! Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 19-20

Three passages that are often misunderstood become clear when we see them through the lens of God’s desire for restoration with people. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 18:12-35

In this message, we see Jesus live out the principle of humbling himself for the sake of others, and then he teaches his followers to do the same. Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Matthew 17:24-18:14
