The Church of Eleven22

A pastor walks through Matthew 8, exploring how following Jesus can cost everything yet brings peace amid life’s storms. The talk contrasts panic with Jesus’ calm, invites honest prayers, and highlights community, looking back at God’s faithfulness and forward to how trials shape character. Practical prompts encourage fixing eyes on Jesus and trusting his sovereignty.

A look at miracles in Matthew 8 and how Jesus meets people in their deepest need. Stories include a leper’s humble approach, a centurion’s faith, healing by touch, and demons being cast out. Themes of restoration into community, inclusion of outsiders, and invitation to seek prayer and healing are highlighted.

A clear challenge to false assurance and religious performance. A call to trust what Christ has done rather than what we do. A contrast between easy paths and the narrow gate that leads to life. A warning about fruitless professions and the idols that secretly replace Christ.

A sermon on what Jesus meant by “Judge not,” exploring the gap between condemnation and biblical discernment. Stories and everyday triggers reveal how judgment shows up in life. Practical guidance on self-examination, praying for others, and choosing grace over superiority. Ends with a call to pursue heart transformation and the narrow way of humility.

A talk about Matthew 6 that contrasts showy religion with genuine intimacy with God. It highlights giving, prayer, and fasting as disciplines that reshape motives. The Lord’s Prayer and our identity as God’s children are explored. Fasting is presented as a way to deny the flesh and hunger for Jesus. The ultimate reward is closeness with God, not public recognition.

A sermon unpacking Matthew 5 that shifts focus from outward rule-keeping to heart-level transformation. Topics include anger and reconciliation, lust as heart-level adultery, and the biblical view of divorce. Conversations on honest speech, non-retaliation, and radical enemy-love appear. The gospel as receiving righteousness, grace for the broken, and a call to repentance round out the talk.

When are people watching your life the most? Not when everything is going well—but when you walk through difficulty with a peace that doesn’t make sense. In Matthew 5:13–20, Jesus reminds us that we are not just saved by grace—we are sent with purpose. You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. Our lives should push back darkness and point people to Christ. So the question is: are you shining… or just sitting in the shaker? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:13-20 • Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Orlando Launch: One More - Soontaree's Story  • City on a Hill - Matthew S2E2 (Full Service)  • Be Salt and Light - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin: Matthew S2E2 • Matthew Season 2: Mountain to Mountain Sermon Series  • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin  The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Are you pursuing happiness—or the kind of blessing that can’t be shaken? In this opening message of Matthew: Mountain to Mountain, Jesus ascends the mountain—not to give a new law, but to announce a blessing that changes everything. Through the Beatitudes, we discover that “blessed” doesn’t mean comfortable, successful, or problem-free—it means anchored in the gospel, filled with a joy that circumstances can’t steal. Jesus invites us to stop chasing temporary happiness and instead receive the eternal blessing that comes from knowing Him.
