    Matthew 24:29-35

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 24:29-35, contrasting the kingdom present in the heart (Sermon on the Mount) with the future kingdom revealed in the Olivet Discourse, asserting that belief in Christ's return is necessary to justify the hardships of living as a kingdom citizen now. Jesus details the immediate post-distress cosmic cataclysms, the visible arrival of the Son of Man on the clouds with power and great glory to gather His elect, and instructs believers to interpret these signs—which will occur within a single generation—as assurance that He is "near, at the door".

    Matthew 24:15-28

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 24:15-28 and the cosmic battle theory, explaining that humanity was created as image-bearing covenant partners placed in the midst of an ongoing war against Satan, where acts of faithfulness constitute spiritual warfare. Jesus provides a key end-time sign, the abomination of desolation, which is a defiling act leading to unparalleled great distress, and warns believers not to be deceived by false messiahs because His eventual return will be universally visible, flashing "as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west".

    Matthew 23:37-39

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 23:37-39, explaining Jesus's lament over Jerusalem just days before his crucifixion. He describes how this passage reveals God's persistent, compassionate love for his people, likening it to a hen gathering her chicks, and contrasts it with humanity's tendency toward spiritual stubbornness and self-sufficiency.

    Matthew 22:1-14

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 22:1-14, presenting Jesus's parable of the wedding banquet as a rebuke to the religious leaders who rejected God's invitation to His kingdom. The parable illustrates the historic rejection of God's invitations by the initially invited, the subsequent broad invitation to all, and the essential requirement of accepting God's provided "wedding garment" of righteousness for entry into His kingdom.

    Matthew 21:33-46

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:33-46. He presents the parable of the tenant farmers, where a landowner's servants and son are abused and killed by the farmers entrusted with his vineyard, symbolizing Israel's rejection of God's prophets and ultimately His Son. Jesus uses this to declare that the kingdom of God will be taken from those who reject Him and given to a people who produce fruit, emphasizing the responsibility of humans as "tenant farmers" to steward God's entrusted relationships, resources, and opportunities with justice and righteousness.

    Matthew 21:28-32

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:28-32. He explains the parable of the two sons, contrasting the son who says "no" but obeys with the son who says "yes" but fails to act, emphasizing the importance of follow-through and genuine obedience to God's will. Jesus applies this by stating that tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before the religious elites because they changed their minds and believed John's message, whereas the elites gave only lip service.

    Matthew 21:18-27

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:18-27. He explains Jesus' cursing of the fig tree as a profound spiritual diagnosis of outward appearance without inner fruitfulness, contrasting it with God's desire for a living trust and faith that enables one to do mighty things. He also discusses Jesus' encounter with the religious elite, highlighting how Jesus' question about John's authority exposed their hypocrisy and hard hearts, demonstrating God's loving but direct engagement.

    Matthew 21:12-17

    In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:12-17, explaining Jesus's cleansing of the temple where he drove out buyers and sellers, overturned money changers' tables, and healed the blind and lame, declaring the temple a "house of prayer" rather than a "den of thieves". Josh contrasts the indignant response of the religious leaders to Jesus's actions and the children's praises with Jesus's reference to Psalm 8, and he concludes by drawing a parallel to believers as the "temple of the living God," urging them to allow God to cleanse their lives of things not aligned with His glory.
