What Kind of Man is This? - Matthew 8:14-34 (Session 13)

Matthew 8 continues to reveal who Jesus is through a series of attesting miracles.Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law with a touch, casts out demons with a word, and then challenges those who say they want to follow Him by explaining that discipleship carries a real cost. Following Christ is not a path to worldly fame, comfort, or wealth.Then Jesus and His disciples enter a boat and encounter a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee. While experienced fishermen fear for their lives, Jesus sleeps. When they wake Him, He rebukes the wind and sea and everything becomes perfectly calm. The disciples ask the question that hangs over the entire chapter: “What kind of man is this?”The session closes in the region of the Gadarenes, where even demons recognize Jesus as the Son of God and must ask His permission before acting.Matthew 8:14–34 | The Book of Matthew — Session 13Questions discussed in this session include:  Are Christians guaranteed to have health and wealth? Should we wait until we have our life in order before following God?How rich was Jesus? What does it mean for us to follow Jesus? Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
