Message: “Judgment is Coming” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” With well-known sinners like Zacchaeus coming to faith in Christ, and Jesus getting closer to Jerusalem, Messianic fervor was building.

So Jesus told them this parable of the 10 servants and the minas to help them understand that the fullness of the kingdom was not coming now, but when it did, the faithful would be called to account and the guilty punished.

Message: “Little Man, Big Transformation” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” This week, we come to the story of another sinner that Jesus met on the road through Jericho.

In this passage of Scripture, we see a desperate, blind beggar who would not be silenced by the crowd because he knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jesus was his only hope of salvation.

Message: “The Costly Reward” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” The rich young ruler’s rejection of the call to follow Christ raised a question in Peter’s heart: “What about us, Lord? We have left everything to follow You; What about us?” In Jesus’s answer, we have the promise of reward for all who believe in Him, and we have the description of His torturous death and resurrection by which He would purchase this reward.
