The New Passover | Ps. Brian Somerville | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms Church

In this message from Matthew 26:17–30, Pastor Brian Somerville shows how Jesus becomes our New Passover, the perfect Lamb who brings true freedom, not from Egypt, but from sin. Through His blood, judgement passes over us, redemption is secured, and we are invited into a new covenant of grace. Discover what it means to live as God’s redeemed people: forgiven, strengthened for the journey, and confident in the hope of His promise.

Signs Of The End Times | Ps. Sean Booth | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms Church

In this message from Matthew 24:1–14, Ps. Sean explores how Jesus revealed the signs of the end times and the reality of His coming. Where nations rise against nations, false prophets deceive, and love grows cold, Jesus calls us to remain vigilant, steadfast in faith, and focused on eternity. Discover how living with an eternal perspective means staying ready for His return, proclaiming the Gospel to all nations, and living holy, Godly lives in anticipation of the glorious appearing of our Lord.

Stewarding Your Significance | Ps. Sean Booth | Journey to Jesus | Open Arms Church

In this message, Pastor Sean shares a powerful word from Matthew 25 about what it truly means to steward the significance God has placed within you. Part of our Journey to Jesus series through the Gospel of Matthew, this message challenges us to see our gifts, opportunities, and influence not as our own but as something entrusted to us by God for His purpose and glory.

Chosen To Be Clothed | Ps. Alan Fay | Journey to Jesus | Open Arms Church

In this message from Matthew 22, Ps. Alan unpacks the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, where Jesus reveals the heart of God’s invitation to His kingdom. While many are invited, few are chosen, not because the invitation is limited, but because the response is lacking. In a world content with surface religion and self-made righteousness, Jesus calls us to be clothed in what only He can provide. Discover how true discipleship means accepting God’s invitation, receiving His righteousness, and living ready for the King’s celebration.

Learning To Lead From Love | Ps. Brian Somerville | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms Church

In this message from Matthew 23:1-12, Ps. Brian Somerville explores how Jesus redefined leadership through love, humility, and service. While the Pharisees sought position, praise, and public recognition, Jesus modelled a kingdom way, one that leads through surrender, not status. Where religion exalted pride, Jesus elevated people; where leaders demanded honour, He chose to serve. Discover how true leadership flows from love, valuing dignity over dominance, compassion over control, and destiny over the desire for approval. Learn what it means to lead from love, following the One who humbled Himself to lift others higher.

Radical Is The New Normal | Ps. Brian Somerville | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms Church

In this message from Matthew 21:12–22, we explore how Jesus confronted nominal religion and revealed that radical faith is the new normal in His kingdom. Where the temple had traded God’s presence for profit, the priests restrained praise, and Israel rejected its purpose, Jesus calls us back to authentic worship, surrendered praise, and true kingdom purpose. Discover how radical faith means choosing the Person over the place, praise over preferences, and purpose over personal comfort.

Crowd Control | Ps. Brian Somerville | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms Church

This week, pastor Brian shares a powerful message from Matthew 20:29–34.

In this passage, the blind men refuse to let the crowd silence them and their persistence brings them face to face with Jesus.

Pastor Brian reminds us that the crowds follow Jesus, not the other way around. In the same way, we must not let external voices of opinion or internal voices of fear and anxiety control us. Instead, we fix our focus on Jesus.

 

Obedience Is BETTER Than Sacrifice | Ps. Sean Booth | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms Church

I Once Was Lost, But Now I'm Found | Ps. Sean Booth | The Journey Of Jesus | Open Arms

Ps. Sean dives into Matthew 18 to remind us that Jesus sees each of us as the one that matters. Just like a shepherd leaving the 99 to find the one wandering sheep, God pursues us personally, tenderly, and relentlessly. This message will encourage you to see yourself through God’s eyes, embrace His pursuit, and understand the value He places on every lost soul.
