Pastor Gary Combs begins a new sermon series entitled: “PERFECT.” This message is taken from the story of the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-26. Here, Jesus told the young man that if he wanted to be “perfect,” he would have to sell everything and follow Him. After hearing this the disciples worried that no one could be saved. But Jesus taught them that God made it possible. Jesus is the only way to please a perfect and holy God.

Pastor Gary Combs continues the “Parenting Your Child’s Heart” series. In this message he addresses the need to lead our children to place their faith in Christ. Is there anything more important that leading your child to Christ? Jesus told the disciples to let the little children come to him. We can recognize God’s purpose for parents to be his agents in bringing them to know Jesus.

In the book of Matthew the story of the birth of Jesus is told within the political backdrop of the times. This Jesus was the one prophesied to be King, but He came in the most unexpected way. And from the beginning there was a battle between His Kingdom and the false king that usurped His Throne. The challenge for us is to remove our worship from the false king and to put our worship on the true King, Jesus Christ.

How do we get our focus back and sustain it? One way is by becoming an active contributor to God’s Kingdom. We follow King Jesus and pour out our lives like Him. Jesus was a giver. He was committed to making a complete contribution of all that he had and all that he was. We can make becoming like Him our “One Thing.”
In the book of Matthew, the mother of James and John asked Jesus for seats of authority for her sons on either side of Jesus. Jesus told her and all the disciples that following Him was not a call to be great in the way the world sees things. He said that the greatness they were called to was called servanthood. He told them to follow His example of service by being willing to contribute all that they had in serving God.
