You may think that your work in the background or simply away from the visibility of most people goes unnoticed, but God uses these things in sometimes large, unexpected ways. Today Brandon shares the story of Naaman and how it was the words of a small kidnapped girl from Israel - the maiden in the middle - who helped spearhead the change in Naaman.

Andrew brings us the first in this two-part series. This lesson focuses on how Jeremiah's time in the cistern shows us that our own periods of being stuck in mud pits aren't just low points with no greater purpose, and how changing our viewpoint to those being pitstops makes for positive change.

Today the elders share a message to the entire congregation that looks back on 2025 and looks ahead to 2026 which includes connecting to each other, our multitude of ministries, and above all to God. Together we make up the net - imagine a fisherman's net - bound strong together with no worn places, no holes or gaps, and strong enough to lift any load God would have us to hold.

Having completed His earthly ministry and yielding to the will of God, Jesus willingly offered Himself as the atoning sacrifice that would pay the penalty of sin once and for all. As His disciples battled between what they saw and what they had been told, Mary Magdalene and others went to His burial site to find an angel of the Lord, shining, and sitting over the entrance of the open tomb informing her, “He is risen!” With that reality, Jesus’ followers were told to get the word out and make more disciples.

The term King and Kingdom is a consistent message and theme throughout Matthew. Jesus was called King at His birth and His death. Everything in our text has been pointing to this moment. In our text, we can learn from Simon, the crowd, creation, and the criminals about how we respond to the King on the cross. The ironies of the cross also teach us the way of the Kingdom.

The three parables in Matthew 25 are meant to be understood together. The parable of the 10 virgins is challenging us to assess whether or not we are leveraging our TIME for God‘s kingdom. The parable of the talents is challenging us and asking us are we leveraging our RESOURCES for God‘s kingdom? Based on how we answer whether or not we are leveraging our time and resources will ultimately be seen on judgment day. One day Jesus is going to separate the sheep from the goats. Those on the right are going be the ones that leverage their resources and time for the kingdom. Those on the left are going to be those that let excuses and priorities reign supreme. As we read this text, think about how we are all leveraging our time and resources for God‘s kingdom.

Jesus was often confronted by religious elites seeking conflict, not dialogue. Recognizing their hostile intent, He chose to offer His followers relevant teaching rather than debate. In our narrative this morning, Jesus took a loaded question regarding divorce, bypassed the Mosaic law and pointed to God's original intent for marriage, reminding all of us that a Kingdom mindset requires faithfulness to God’s will above all else.
