Where God's blessings flow!
Sermons by Pastor Matthew Kusch (Page 17)
John the Baptist was full of joy. He was active proclaiming the word and preparing the way for Jesus. While the coming of Jesus brought his people joy, today’s gospel brought a dissonance. John shone a light on the misdeeds of the day, and this caused his imprisonment and death. During his ministry, John had…
The part John played in the arrival of Jesus cannot be downplayed. He was a compelling speaker. People thought John was the Messiah, but they were wrong–John even said so. His gospel message was meant to prepare the way of the Lord. What can we do to share the Good News of Jesus? How can…
“Our Potter who art in Heaven…” That’s not how the Lord’s Prayer goes! But we are reminded in this lesson that our Father will mold and shape us to face life’s challenges with Him at the wheel. Let’s listen…
What’s in a promise? A promise is a commitment by someone to do or not do something. The promise was being fulfilled to David – his offspring would be the Savior. Let’s examine how Jesus was the fulfillment of all those promises from the Old Testament

When Jesus told his disciples “I will die and in three days rise again” he was sharing the good after the bad – the good times following the bad that had to occur to fulfill the Scriptures. Let’s listen in to learn more about the Good News story!
What is faith without work? Are we impartial? Or do we show favoritism? If we wear a Sunday persona then put on old habits the rest of the week, how can we call ourselves Christians? How can we instead show the love of God, show our good works, and in so doing call all people…
In Jesus’ time the pharisees were quick to find fault, honoring God with their lips while their hearts were far from Him. When we honor God today, do we do this with our lips, or do we honor Him with our whole heart?
