Come to Me | Matthew 11:7-19

In this sermon, we examine Jesus’ defense of John the Baptist, the nature of true repentance, and the danger of resisting Christ because He does not fit our preferences. Jesus shows that the kingdom advances through faithful conviction, forces a response, and exposes the excuses of hard hearts. Even in suffering, doubt, and opposition, King Jesus remains vindicated by His works and still invites sinners to come to Him in repentance and faith.

Come to Me | Matthew 11:1-6

What do you do when Jesus doesn’t meet your expectations? In Week 1 of our new series Come to Me, we walk through Matthew 11:1–6 and encounter a surprising moment: John the Baptist — the bold prophet who prepared the way for Jesus — now sits in prison wrestling with confusion and disappointment. From unanswered prayers to lingering suffering, this message explores what happens when faith collides with reality… and how Jesus responds to struggling people with truth, compassion, and invitation. If you’ve ever wondered: “Jesus, what are You doing?”“Can I still trust You?”“Why hasn’t this changed yet?”…this message is for you. Jesus does not crush struggling people. He meets them. 📍 Village – A Christian Fellowship: Sacramento, CA 🌐 Village Church Sacramento 💝 Give to Village

The Sent Life | Matthew 10:32–39

It’s possible to associate with Jesus, without ever truly aligning with Him. In this message from Matthew 10:32–39, we come face-to-face with a reality we often try to avoid: following Jesus isn’t casual, private, or cost-free. There is no neutral ground. No middle space. Jesus calls us to openly acknowledge Him, to stand with Him, and to reorder our entire lives around Him. That kind of allegiance will cost you. It may cost approval. It may cost comfort. It may even create tension in your closest relationships. But Jesus makes it clear—He doesn’t come second. He is either first… or He is not truly followed. And yet, this call is not loss—it’s the path to life. If you’ve ever felt the tension between following Jesus and keeping control; between comfort and obedience—this message is for you. You don’t casually follow Jesus. You must pick a side. 🎧 Listen now: https://sacvillage.org 🙏 Partner with us in the mission: https://sacvillage.org/give

The Sent Life | Matthew 10:26-31

Why do we stay silent when it matters most? In this message from Matthew 10:26–31, we explore how the fear of man quietly shrinks our witness—keeping us from living boldly for Jesus. But Jesus doesn’t call us to be fearless…He calls us to fear rightly. When the fear of God outweighs every other voice, everything changes. Our obedience, our boldness, and our freedom all begin to take shape. And here’s the good news: The One we are called to fear…is also the Father who sees you, knows you, and gave His Son for you. If your deepest fear has been dealt with at the cross, then you are free to live sent. Village is located in Sacramento, CA.

The Sent Life | Matthew 10:16-25

Does following Jesus lead to comfort & favor in this life? In this message from Matthew 10, Jesus prepares His disciples for the reality of the sent life: opposition, pressure, and the cost of being identified with Him. If you’ve ever wondered why faithfulness can feel hard; why standing for truth creates tension; this passage gives clarity—and hope. Because the sent life is also the shared life. 🌐 Learn more about Village: https://www.sacvillage.org 🙏 Partner with us in giving: https://www.sacvillage.org/give

The Sent Life | Matthew 10:1-15

In this message from Gospel of Matthew 10:1–15, we see that following Jesus isn’t just about what happens to you; it’s about what happens through you. Before the disciples are sent, they are called to be with Jesus. And from that relationship flows everything: their authority, their message, their dependence, and their responsibility. This sermon walks through four defining marks of the sent life: • Called to Him • Sent with His message • Dependent on His provision • Responsible for their response If you’ve ever felt like being “sent” is for someone else; pastors, missionaries, or “professional” Christians; this message will reframe that entirely. The sent life isn’t a special calling for a few… it’s normal Christianity. You are not just going to work. You are not just in your neighborhood. You are sent. 🌐 Learn more or plan your visit: https://www.sacvillage.org 💛 Give to support the mission: https://www.sacvillage.org/give

Alive! | An Invitation to New Life | Romans 6:4

What if Christianity isn’t about improving your life—but replacing it altogether? In this Easter message, we explore the powerful truth of Romans 6:4: that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, your old life isn’t fixed...it’s buried. And in its place, God offers something entirely new. This isn’t behavior modification. It’s resurrection. Whether you feel stuck in cycles you can’t break, weighed down by guilt and shame, or simply going through the motions, this message is an invitation: you don’t need a better version of your life—you need a new one. And in Jesus, that life is available right now. In this message, you’ll discover: Why your old life must be buried, not improvedHow new life is raised by God’s power, not your effortWhat it actually means to walk in “newness of life”Jesus is alive. And because He is alive…you can be too. 🌐 Learn more about Village: https://www.sacvillage.org 💛 Support what God is doing: https://www.sacvillage.org/give
