MissionWay Church Sunday Sermons

As we look ahead to 2026, this sermon centers on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21—a prayer not mainly for changed circumstances, but for changed hearts. Together, we are called to pray for deep spiritual strength, rootedness in the Gospel, and a growing comprehension of the love of Christ by the power of the Spirit. This is a pastoral prayer for MissionWay Church as we ask God for deeper roots, greater faithfulness, and His glory above all else.

On Christmas Eve (Eve), we proclaim the simple but life-changing good news announced by the angels: “Unto you is born a Savior, Christ, the Lord.” In the midst of both joy and grief, this message reminds us that Jesus was born not just for shepherds long ago, but for you today. Will you behold and believe the Savior who has come?

In the final message of our "God With Us" series, we turn to Philippians 2:9–11 and behold the exalted Christ—humble Savior now crowned as Lord of all. This passage confronts us with an inescapable truth: one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This sermon is both a gospel plea and a pastoral warning, calling believers and unbelievers alike to respond with repentance, faith, and urgency today. Come and look upon Jesus—not as one option among many, but as the only Savior to whom all will answer.

Jesus didn’t just become a man—He willingly obeyed the Father, even to the point of death on a cross. From the manger to Calvary, we see the incredible cost of God’s love for sinners and the humility that should shape our response. As we examine Philippians 2:8, let us reflect on the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, and consider what it truly means to follow Him in humble obedience.

In Week 2 of God With Us, we look at Philippians 2:7–8 and the stunning truth that Jesus became fully human and took the form of a servant. We’ll explore what it means that the eternal Son of God experienced real human weakness, humility, and obedience—yet without sin—so that He could save and sympathize with us. Join us as we consider the wonder of the incarnation and how Christ’s humility shapes our own lives.

This Sunday, we kick off our Advent series “God with Us” by focusing on the truth of Jesus as fully God (Philippians 2:6). Amid the busyness, celebrations, and struggles of the season, it’s easy to lose sight of the Giver behind the gifts. We’ll explore the profound reality of the Incarnation—how Christ, though fully God, willingly humbled Himself to become man—and consider how this truth calls us to imitate His humility and love in our daily lives. Join us as we begin a four-week journey from the manger to the cross, discovering the life-changing implications of God truly being with us.

In this final week of our “Jesus and the Pharisees” series, Jesus delivers His seventh woe, exposing the Pharisees for repeating the very sins of their fathers while imagining themselves righteous. In Matthew 23:29–36, He warns them—and us—of the real danger of judgment when we condemn the past yet remain blind to our own sin. This passage calls us to mourn inherited sin, take responsibility for our own, and flee God’s wrath through genuine repentance.

In this sermon, we continue Jesus’ sobering confrontation with the scribes and Pharisees in Matthew 23:23–28, exposing the danger of outward religion without inward transformation. Jesus rebukes leaders who meticulously obey minor laws while ignoring justice, mercy, and faithfulness—revealing hearts that are polished on the outside but spiritually decayed within. By examining Old and New Testament connections, we’ll see how this warning speaks directly to Christians today, calling us to genuine repentance rather than “whitewashing” our lives. Ultimately, the message points us toward the hope of the gospel, which cleanses us from the inside out and restores integrity, sincerity, and true obedience.

In Matthew 23:13-22, Jesus pronounces a series of woes on the scribes and Pharisees, exposing the dangers of spiritual hypocrisy. He condemns those who shut the doors of heaven, making salvation inaccessible, those who mislead others into false discipleship, and those whose words and oaths cannot be trusted. The Pharisees’ outward religiosity masked hearts far from God, demonstrating the emptiness of ritual without true obedience. As followers of Christ, we are called to enter through the true Door, make disciples in the way of the Gospel, and let our words reflect integrity before God.

In Matthew 23:1–12, Jesus warns His disciples and the crowds about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, calling attention to leaders who preach rightly but fail to practice what they teach, burden others, and seek status over service. This sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts for signs of hypocrisy and points us to the remedy Jesus offers: humble, sacrificial service. By following His example, we learn that true greatness is not found in recognition or position, but in serving others with humility.
