Sermon Title: Jesus and Lust Scripture: Matthew 5:27–30 In this week’s message from the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Jesus’ challenging and compassionate teaching on lust. Jesus doesn’t come to shame us—He comes to free us. He addresses not just our actions, but our hearts, calling us into a deeper kind of purity that honors others and leads to wholeness. We talk honestly about distorted desire, pornography, sexual brokenness, and the healing that Jesus offers through His love and grace.

Sermon Title: Jesus and Anger Text: Matthew 5:21–26 Series: The Way of the Kingdom (Sermon on the Mount) Description: Anger is everywhere—in our headlines, our homes, even our churches. But Jesus doesn’t just call us to manage it—He calls us to something deeper. In this message from Matthew 5:21–26, we explore what Jesus says about the slow, destructive power of contempt and the radical call to reconciliation. Through His words, we’re invited to name what’s real, turn toward healing, and become people of peace in a world of rage. What if the path to true righteousness begins not with being right, but with being reconciled?…
What if the resurrection isn’t just something that happened back then —but the turning point of your story too? In this Easter message, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus is the Great Turn: a turn toward grace for the broken, relationship with the living Christ, and hope for a world still groaning for renewal. Through Scripture, stories, and the surprising first witness to the empty tomb, this message invites you to hear Jesus call your name—and to discover that He’s still in the business of turning despair into life.…
🎧 Sermon: "Salt & Light" – Matthew 5:13–16 📍 Series: The Life of the Kingdom 🗓️ Date: March 23, 2025 📍 Speaker: Kaley Miller Summary: What does it mean to live a life that actually makes a difference? In this message, we move from the Beatitudes into Jesus’ bold declaration that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. This sermon explores what it looks like to live as a contrast to the world around us—not as the source of goodness and truth, but as carriers of the One who is. From preserving what is good to shining light in dark places, we’re reminded that our lives were never meant to blend in, but to point others to Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether your everyday life matters in God’s kingdom—or how to bring flavor and light into the places God has put you—this message is for you. 👉 Listen in, be challenged, and ask yourself: What if my main purpose isn’t to be impressive—but to carry the presence of Christ wherever I go?…
🎧 Sermon: "Blessed Are the Persecuted" – Matthew 5:10–12 📍 Series: The Beatitudes 🗓️ Date: March 16, 2025 📍 Speaker: Sam Chacko Summary: What if being rejected, misunderstood, or even mistreated for your faith isn’t a sign that something’s gone wrong—but a sign that you’re walking in the way of Jesus? In this message on the final Beatitude, we explore the surprising words of Jesus: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…” This teaching challenges the comforts we often cling to and reminds us that true blessing comes not from popularity or ease, but from a life fully surrendered to Christ—no matter the cost. Whether you’re wrestling with fear of rejection or needing courage to stand firm in your faith, this message will encourage and equip you to live boldly, love deeply, and keep your eyes on the eternal reward Jesus promises. 🎙️ Note: We experienced a technical issue with our livestream this week, and unfortunately, a portion of the sermon audio/video is missing. We apologize for this and appreciate your grace as we continue to improve our streaming experience. 👉 Tune in, be encouraged, and consider: what would it look like to live in such a way that people see Jesus in you—even if they don’t understand you?…
What does it mean to be a peacemaker in a world filled with division and conflict? In this message, we dive into Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9 and explore how true peace is not just about avoiding conflict but actively pursuing reconciliation. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, didn’t just keep peace—He made peace through His sacrifice. As His followers, we are called to do the same. Join us as we discover how to move beyond being peacekeepers to becoming peacemakers, reflecting God’s heart in our relationships, communities, and beyond.…
What does it mean to have a pure heart, and how does it shape the way we see God? In this powerful message from LOFT City Church, we dive deep into Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:8: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." This sermon explores how purity is not about perfection but about undivided devotion—a heart set wholly on God. Through vivid illustrations, personal stories, and biblical insights, we unpack how a focused heart allows us to experience glimpses of God's presence in everyday life. Whether in moments of joy, sorrow, or the ordinary, God is at work—if only we have eyes to see. Join us as we reflect on what it means to live with a heart that is focused, a heart that notices God in the ordinary, and a heart that reflects His love to the world. The promise is clear: when we pursue purity of heart, we don’t just wait to see God one day—we start seeing Him now.…
In this message, we continue our series on the Beatitudes by exploring Jesus' words in Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.” Mercy is more than a one-time act—it is a defining characteristic of those who follow Christ. But what does it look like to live as people of mercy in a world that often sees mercy as weakness? Jesus calls us to forgive the unforgivable, love the unlovable, and seek justice with grace. Mercy does not mean ignoring injustice, but it does mean extending the same compassion and forgiveness we have received from God. Join us as we examine how mercy shapes our hearts, transforms our communities, and challenges us to reflect the very character of Christ in all we do.…
In this message, we explore Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” What does it mean to have a deep, all-consuming longing for the righteousness of God? How do we cultivate a hunger that isn’t satisfied with the comforts of this world but craves His kingdom, His justice, and His presence? Through Scripture, real-life stories, and practical reflection, we unpack the biblical vision of righteousness—not just as personal holiness but as the world made right. Jesus calls us to a holy discontent, a hunger that refuses to settle for anything less than God’s best. And He promises that when we seek His righteousness first, we will be filled—not with temporary satisfaction, but with something eternal. Join us as we wrestle with what it means to live as people who hunger for more of God, trusting that He alone can truly satisfy. Download sermon discussion guide here .…
In this episode, we dive into Matthew 5:5 and uncover the true meaning of meekness in the Kingdom of God. Often misunderstood as weakness or passivity, biblical meekness is actually a deep trust in God’s authority and a posture of surrender, not defeat. We explore how Jesus redefines meekness—not as a loss of power, but as a confident dependence on God. Join us as we break down the Hebrew and Greco-Roman contexts of meekness, discuss how it shapes our decisions, relationships, and personal growth, and discover how embracing meekness leads to peace, freedom, and the promise of inheriting God’s Kingdom. Whether you’ve wrestled with feeling like you don’t fit the mold or struggled with surrendering control, this conversation will encourage you to find strength in humility and rest in God’s power. Meekness is not about shrinking back—it’s about standing firm in the knowledge of who God is and who we are in Him.…
Title: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn | Matthew 5:4 Speaker: Nincy Hernandez Description: In a world that teaches us to avoid pain and suppress grief, Jesus speaks a countercultural truth: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4) What does it mean to mourn in a way that aligns with the heart of God? What grieves Jesus, and do our hearts break for the same things? In this message, we explore how God mourns over injustice, suffering, and sin—but doesn’t leave us there. Through Christ, our sorrow is met with His comfort, our brokenness with His healing, and our sin with His redeeming grace. Join us as we dive into this powerful beatitude and discover the hope that is found in Jesus alone.…
What does it mean to be truly blessed? In this sermon on Matthew 5:1-3, we explore Jesus' radical declaration that "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Instead of chasing self-sufficiency or worldly success, Jesus invites us to embrace our need for God and to discover the good life through dependence on Him. If you’re feeling weary, overwhelmed, or uncertain, this message is a reminder that God meets us in our need and offers us His grace. We’re not meant to walk this journey alone—our church community is here to walk with you. Connect with us, join the conversation, and discover the joy of living in God’s upside-down kingdom.…
