Hear These Words is a four-week sermon series exploring moments in the Gospel of Matthew when Jesus' words meet people in fear, need, uncertainty, and the challenges of faithful living.

This week, we conclude the series with “Foundation in the Storm” from Matthew 7.24–27. Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with an image of two houses, two foundations, and a storm that comes for both. His words invite us to consider the difference between simply hearing what Jesus says and building a life upon it. What gives us a foundation that can withstand the storms we cannot avoid?

Hear These Words is a four-week sermon series exploring moments in the Gospel of Matthew when Jesus' words meet people in fear, need, uncertainty, and the challenges of faithful living.

This week, we continue with “Loosed on Earth” from Matthew 16.13–20. Jesus asks his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter's answer leads to a conversation about identity, authority, and what it means for the church to bind and loose on earth. What might these words ask of us as we consider who Jesus is and the responsibility of following him?

Join us for worship as we continue our summer sermon series, Eshel: Preaching the Trees.

Throughout Scripture, trees are more than scenery. They mark covenants, hold grief, signal callings, and reveal something about the character of God. This summer, we will gather beneath ten biblical trees and consider how we are shaped by what we sit under.

This week, we gather beneath the almond tree from Jeremiah 1.11–12 and reflect on what it means to trust that God is still watching over what has been spoken.

What does God care about most?

Many of us spend our lives trying to be impressive, successful, knowledgeable, or even "good enough."

Yet throughout Scripture, God's attention is drawn to something else entirely.
Not appearances.
Not achievement.
Not having everything figured out.

Again and again, God meets people in their weakness, their uncertainty, and their openness to being changed. The good news is that God is not waiting for a finished version of you. God is already at work in the person you are becoming.

Watch the full reflection and consider what God may value more than you think. https://vist.ly/59m9t

Most of us assume God is found by getting closer.

Closer to certainty.
Closer to obedience.
Closer to having our lives together.

But Scripture tells a different story. Again and again, God meets people in deserts, wildernesses, exile, and wandering. The question isn't whether God is present. The question is whether we'll recognize that presence where we are.

Throughout Scripture, trees are more than scenery. They mark covenants, hold grief, signal callings, and reveal something about the character of God. This summer, we will gather beneath ten biblical trees and consider how we are shaped by what we sit under.

This week, we gather beneath the myrtle tree from Zechariah 1.7–13, a symbol tied to consolation and the hidden faithfulness of small and unspectacular things.

Not every gift arrives wrapped in certainty.

Some arrive as courage.
Some as peace.
Some as the quiet assurance that you're not alone.

The gifts that change us most are often the ones we almost miss. They don't just change what we have. They change how we live.

THE PERSON YOU KEEP AVOIDING? WALK TOWARD THEM

It's easy to greet the people who already make us feel welcome. The harder task is moving toward the person we'd rather avoid. The early church wasn't known for avoiding difficult people. It was known for turning strangers into family. Who might God be calling you to walk toward this week?
