When preaching through the Sermon on the Mount, the Scriptures pick the topic. Therefore, if Christ didn’t shy away from the controversial issue of lust, neither should we.
Making a Killing
The first topic in Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount, anger. This sermon shows how anger and insult equal murder in God’s eyes and how we are to handle those who we are at odds with.
Raise the Bar
In opening Matthew 5:17-20 Christ explains why He came into this world. But His sermon also answers how we are suppose to handle the Old Testament Law. Listening could keep you from being the least in God’s kingdom.

As we open up Matthew’s Gospel we see the heavy emphasis he places on the genealogy of Jesus. This sermon will shape the night that changed…
The Christmas Story (Part 1): Breaking Silence
Without a backstory, we lose the reason why something took place—the Christmas story is no different. Today, many do not understand the meaning of Christmas because 400 years of backstory has been buried by our American traditions. This Sunday at Cottonwood Creek—Denison, Pastor Pete Orta will allow world history to reveal how God prepared for…
