MissionWay Church Sunday Sermons

What did Jesus mean by the “abomination of desolation,” and why does it matter for His people today? In this message, we wrestle with one of the most debated passages in all of Scripture as Jesus prepares His disciples for coming tribulation—specifically the events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, while also clarifying confusion about His future return. Far from being written to confuse or frighten us, this text is meant to comfort, warn, and anchor God’s people in times of chaos.As we walk through Matthew 24:15–28, we’ll see Jesus graciously warn His followers to flee, promise to protect His people, and clear up false claims about His coming. No matter where you land on end-times timelines, the central question remains the same: where do you run in the face of great tribulation?

What did Jesus really intend to teach about tribulation and the last days? In Matthew 24:3–14, Jesus prepares His disciples not with speculation, but with sober encouragement for what lies ahead. This sermon calls us to stay grounded in truth, steady in peace, and faithful to endure, remembering that being ready to endure matters more than perfectly deciphering prophecy. Join us as we listen to Jesus’ words and learn how to remain steadfast, hopeful, and anchored in Christ until the end.

In the opening message of this series, Jesus’ teaching on the last days begins not with speculation, but with a sobering lament over Jerusalem’s unwillingness to repent. From Matthew 23:37–24:2, we see the tender mercy of Christ, the certainty of judgment for persistent unbelief, and His declaration that the Temple’s destruction is coming. This passage calls us to look past religious appearances, heed Christ’s warning, and come to Him in repentance before it is too late.

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.
