Sermons on Matthew
The Coming Harvest
One of the greatest problems in the church today is hypocrisy. Hypocrites in the church are pretenders, lacking a genuine connection to Jesus. Despite outwardly engaging in ‘churchy’ behaviors, these individuals have never truly surrendered to Jesus Christ. They are religious… but lost. Jesus addressed hypocrisy in the church more than any other issue in his teachings. Pastor Chris Willett delves into the issue guiding us through Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the tare during a time of harvest…

As we reflect on the divine mission entrusted to us by Jesus before His ascension to Heaven, we are reminded of the timeless duty that every Christian carries today – to share the Gospel with the entire world.

Pastor Chris Willett takes us through Matthew 9:13, where we encounter the transformative story of Matthew the Tax Collector,…
Five Minutes in Hell
Heaven and Hell both exist, as surely as day follows night. Jesus emphasized Hell more than Heaven not out of sternness, but because of His love for us. He wants to ensure everyone grasps the importance of finding their place in Heaven. Pastor Chris Willet sheds light on this truth through the true account of two vastly different men, Lazarus the beggar and the wealthy man, as told in Luke 16:19-31. Their contrasting destinies in the afterlife serve as a…

Asking Silly Questions
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. II Timothy 2:23 One of the greatest tools of the enemy is misdirection, leading us to focus on the wrong things. The Bible cautions the Church that we should not argue or debate silly questions that cause division, strife, ultimately distracting us from declaring the truths of the Bible. Pastor Chris Willett takes us to Matthew 22:15-42 for this lesson. The Bible shares the account of silly questions asked…
