What Do I Love? • Michael Sciarra

This sermon explores the Beatitudes from Matthew 5:6-8, emphasizing that the human heart is molded by its deepest longings. It highlights how spiritual poverty, mourning for sin, and meekness lead to a hunger and thirst for God's righteousness, not our own. This transformation results in lives marked by mercy and purity of heart, culminating in the blessedness of seeing God.

Who Am I Before God?

This sermon introduces the Sermon on the Mount, highlighting its relevance for Christian living today and its central focus on the Kingdom of God and Christ as King. The speaker then delves into the first three Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-5), explaining what it means to be poor in spirit, to mourn over sin, and to be meek, emphasizing that these qualities are developed through humility and a right relationship with Christ.

Christ's People

This sermon unpacks Christ's desires for His church, drawing from Ephesians 4:1-16. It outlines five essential characteristics that should mark every local church: a life of holiness, profound unity in Christ, active service from every gifted member, collective maturity into the likeness of Christ, and an overarching commitment to love one another.

Christ's Mission

This sermon emphasizes that God's ultimate purpose in all things is His glory, and our purpose as created beings is to glorify and enjoy Him forever. This is accomplished through Christ's Great Commission to make disciples of all nations, which involves both evangelism (baptizing) and teaching (discipleship), knowing that Christ is always with us.

Christ's Church

This sermon from Matthew 16 emphasizes that the church is built on Christ, by Christ's supernatural power, and gathers around Christ. It highlights Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ and the Son of the living God as the foundation for the church. The church, empowered by Christ, is declared unstoppable, with the gates of hell unable to prevail against it, and is entrusted with the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

Active Faith When Others Wander

This sermon focuses on James 5:19-20, encouraging believers to actively pursue and restore fellow church members who wander from the truth. It highlights the importance of being connected, caring intentionally, and acting as conduits of God's grace, emphasizing the profound impact of bringing a wandering soul back to Christ, even at personal cost.
