The King & His Kingdom: #84 - Greater Freedom | Matthew 17:24-27

Tom Logue - September 28th 2025 Jesus knows, reigns, loves, and provides — offering a greater freedom than self can give. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 17:24–27, where Jesus instructs Peter to find a coin in a fish’s mouth to pay the temple tax. Through this surprising story, Tom unpacks four stunning truths about Jesus: He knows what we need before we ask, He reigns over all creation, He limits His own freedom for the sake of others, and He provides exactly what is needed. This passage ultimately points to the gospel — that Christ has paid our unpayable spiritual debt and invites us into a freedom far greater than living for ourselves.
