Jesus takes the things that no one wants – poverty, hunger, sorrow, and persecution – and tells us that these are the very things that God blesses. Then He says that everything the world wants – money, food, entertainment, and popularity – are exactly the things that bring woe and regret.

But first, they would have to go through poverty, rejection, sorrow, loss, and persecution. Like their Lord, the path to glory would take them through the valley of suffering.2021-03-2236 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastStrife and JealousyIn this sermon from 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, Pastor Jon English explains how believers ought to mature in their faith, avoiding the common temptations toward strife and jealousy, and instead pursue the spiritual fruit of peaceableness.2021-03-1628 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastLord of the Sabbath - Part 2What does Bible say about how Christians should honor the principle of one day of rest for every six days of work? We must say with Matthew 5:17 that Christ did not come to abolish the Law, He came to fulfill it. Christ fulfilled and thus abrogated the civil and ceremonial requirements of the Old Testament Law, but the moral law still stands. The fourth command to honor the Sabbath is part of the moral law. So in this sermon Pastor Shawn discusses how to honor Christ who is the Lord of the Christian Sabbath.

But right after Luke records Jesus' teaching about the New Covenant, God sovereignly directs him to record for us Christ's own understanding of the Sabbath. And what Christ teaches us is NOT that the Sabbath requirement is ceased or superseded, but fully established in Him as Lord.2021-03-0838 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastThe Mind of Christ- 1 Cor. 2:16In this sermon from 1 Cor 2:16, Pastor Jon English explains how the mind of Christ changes how we view our lives, emboldens humble service to others, removes our snobbery, and unties our tongues.2021-03-0829 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastThe Bridegroom and the KingdomIn Luke 5:33-39, we once again have Jesus responding to the prevailing legalism of His day with divine wisdom. Because He is the bridegroom arrived to redeem His bride, the church, it would be inappropriate for his disciples to fast. In the parables of the clothing patch and the new wine in old wineskins, He is making reference to the new covenant He had come to establish, a covenant in continuity with God's moral law yet fulfilling all the ceremonial requirements.2021-03-0438 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastThe Natural Man and the Spiritual ManIn this sermon Pastor Jon English explains the inability of natural man, the ability of the spiritual man, and how the work of the Holy Spirit ought to propel us toward holiness, purity, and peaceableness.2021-03-0131 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastThe Gospel Will Succeed in Saving Sinners & Will Satisfy All Who are SavedIn the last session of our 2021 Global Missions Conference, guest preacher Chip Bugnar preaches from Romans 4:16-5:11: The gospel will succeed in saving sinners and God will satisfy all who are saved.

The gospel is the power of God for salvation and the revelation of His righteousness. Thus, in Christ, we feel no threat from heaven and are thrust in the world on mission.2021-02-2437 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastGospel Confidence Creates a Global CompulsionIn this first message of our 2021 Global Missions Conference, our guest preacher (Chip Bugnar) walks us through Romans 15, helping us to see how a deepening understanding and confidence in the gospel transforms us into a people compelled to make Christ's glory known among the nations.2021-02-2432 minMorningview Sermon PodcastMorningview Sermon PodcastHeaven Revealed - Part 3 - Identity in ChristTeaching from Revelation 22:1-5, Pastor Jordan Nelson preaches that in heaven, we will forever be associated with our Savior.
