Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study in the Gospel of Matthew. It is great to be able to take our time and really prepare for a new challenge. But sometimes we get thrust into a position of sink-or-swim. But how do we maintain our focus and discover the most we can when we are not sure what to do next? We find three good answers to this question in Matthew 14:13-36.

NOTE: We apologize for the audio quality of this week's podcast. We lost all power just before service so the message was only recorded on the video camera at the back of the room. We will have our normal audio up next week. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our series in the gospel of Matthew. After showing us the misperception of Jesus' authority in Nazareth, Matthew zooms out to tell how Jesus was misunderstood by others too. In doing so, we see how the faithful followers of Jesus will also be misunderstood and we discuss how to stay focused on our mission of kingdom-centered purpose as we are.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg launches our new series, "The Spark," as we jump back into our study through the Gospel of Matthew. We all like to be comfortable. But what happens when our comfort in what we think, like, or do becomes the ultimate standard by which we measure our lives? And how do we prepare to respond when Jesus calls us to move beyond our comfort?
