It was 92 degrees at church on Sunday, in a sanctuary without any air conditioning or much ventilation. So, I decided to do the children's sermon and adult sermon mostly together. Our picture taker was not there, and I started recording a little late. However, you can imagine that there are three groups of children standing up in the font, and the kid in front of each group is holding a sign. This is where the recording picks up. Part One is the kids acting out Matthew 20:1-16 as modern day strawberry pickers hanging out in front of a store hoping for work. Part Two is a commentary on it. Enjoy!

Parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:19-31) and Jesus telling us to forgive (Matt 18:21-25) and how hard is it when God makes a way for us, but we don't always want to take it. However, we are promised some amazing hope this week, and given practical tools to live out that hope in our congregation and our lives.
How does Jesus ask us to communicate in churches? Does prayer matter? Find out in this sermon based on Matthew 18:15-20.
The cross is hard. Sometimes I don't want to take it up and follow Jesus. Sometimes I don't want to lose my life and gain it. Often, I don't even know what that means. Listen for stories of people who did just that throughout history. Sermon based on Matthew 16: 21-28. Comment below with your thoughts. Are you able to be a disciple of Jesus and take up a cross? What will be hard about that, and how can work through those hard parts? Let me know!
