Episodes
-
What Is A Disciple?
Are you a disciple of Jesus?
-
If Your Brother Sins
What do you do if your brother or sister sins against you?
-
The Greatest in the Kingdom
Jesus has been talking about going to Jerusalem... and suffering.. and being killed... and rising again on the third day. How do you become great in that kind of kingdom?
-
Failure in the Valley
God doesn’t want us staying on the mountain... we can’t live there.
-
Eyewitnesses of His Majesty
We weren't there on the mountain, nor did we see the empty tomb. But because of their testimony, we know of His majesty and can be changed, transformed, by it.
-
A Rock and a Stumbling Block
Isn't it true that those closest to you bring you your greatest joys and your greatest frustrations and disappointments? The same was true for Jesus.
-
Strange Bedfellows
Today we do find some strange bedfellows in our text. Two groups of individuals who normally had very little to do with each other, brought together in an unexpected alliance by a common interest in Jesus.
-
Feeding the Dogs
Jesus found Himself in demand, and before long He was busy feeding the dogs.
-
Conflict Over Traditions
We must be careful not to elevate our traditions to the status of doctrines.... that's something the Pharisees did that led to quite a confrontation between them and Jesus.
-
Retreat, Respond, or Rescue
While He would like all to come to repentance, and accept Him as Savior and Lord, not everyone will. Jesus therefore handles different kinds of people differently.
-
Tares and Treasures
Kingdom work wasn’t going to be easy. It would have its rewards obviously, but it would also have many disappointments and heartaches. Jesus was not only teaching this to His disciples, but to the multitudes who came with their own misconceptions about the kingdom.
-
The Parable of the Sower
But Jesus knew the disciples had reached a point in their training for kingdom leadership where they needed a realistic picture of the successes, and the failures, they would experience in ministry. It was time for Jesus to prepare them for the ups and downs they would have to go through.
-
An Evil Generation
The Pharisees did not want to believe what was obviously true, but they're not the only ones who were intentionally blind.
-
The Unpardonable Sin
The unpardonable sin. What is it... and have you committed it?
-
Reclaiming Our Holidays
In our text for today we see three approaches to the Sabbath. And I believe we can learn something from the way the disciples, the Pharisees, and the Servant approached the holy day.
-
Come to Me: Rest for the Weary Soul
Jesus looks at people carrying these impossible loads and says: Come to me.
-
When the Gospel Becomes Familiar
A Father's Call to Repentance
-
When Faith Asks Hard Questions
When Faith Asks Hard Questions
-
What Jesus Brings
What did Jesus bring into your life?
-
A Fearless Disciple
A disciple has no need to fear ridicule, no need to fear death, and no need to fear judgment.
-
Workers in the Harvest
We see Jesus instructing the disciples, before sending them out on a short-term mission, but with a long-term commitment.
-
The Twelve Apostles
Jesus chose not to minister all by Himself while He was here, or even after leaving. He chose to share His ministry with others, and with us.
-
Choosing to See
Jesus did these things publicly, for all to see, or at least hear about, so they would know who He was. And some did see, while others chose not to see.
-
Power Over Death
Jesus was making available a joyous, saving relationship with the Son of God, who not only had power over disease, nature, evil, and sin... but death itself.
-
Power Over Sin
This morning Matthew gives us a glimpse of Jesus’ power over sin itself. And that power, power to even forgive sin, is verified in an undeniable way.
-
Power of the Elements
Matthew proceeds to illustrate Jesus’ power over nature... and evil.
-
Power Over Disease
Jesus has power, and in the next two chapters, Matthew demonstrates that power.
-
Choose Carefully
The event we celebrate this morning took place in a garden, probably less than a hundred feet from where Jesus was crucified.
-
To Make Good Judgments
As we studied Matthew 7:1-6, we discovered that we are, in fact, instructed to judge. Not to pass judgment on someone’s eternal destiny, not to condemn anyone, but to make moral judgments regarding the rightness or wrongness of behavior. Now, to do this correctly, we must use the right standard.
-
Pearls of Judgment
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.” How many times have you had that biblical quote thrown back in your face? It merely introduces Christ’s teaching on judgment... if we read further, we discover that He goes on to make it clear that we are in fact supposed to judge.
-
Don't Worry
Anxiety, for a child of God, is unnecessary, it's unworthy, and it's unfruitful.
-
You Can't Have It Both Ways
You can’t keep your eyes focused on two things at the same time. And you can’t have two masters. Jesus makes this clear when He speaks of two treasures, two visions, and two masters in the Sermon on the Mount.
-
When We Are Praying
Prayer is fundamental to a relationship with God... it can be very simple... or it can be very complex.
-
Religious Theatrics
In the 5th chapter of Matthew, Jesus says, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works.” Then in the 6th chapter, He says, “Beware of practicing your righteousness before men.” Which is it? Are we to let men see our good works, our righteousness, or not?
-
But I Say... Be Perfect
Have you ever excused your behavior with the words, “No one’s perfect?” If you have, listen again to the words of Jesus. “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
-
But I Say... Adultery
You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery," but I say to you...
-
But I Say...
What would you think of someone who audaciously declared, "You have heard…but I say" ...effectively challenging what you had been taught?
-
Introducing the Kingdom
John’s message, and Jesus’ initial message, was the same. “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” As we move into chapter 5 of Matthew’s gospel, John is in prison, and Jesus is ready to introduce that kingdom to His disciples.
-
Then Came Jesus
We can almost hear Matthew say, "Then came Jesus..." bringing light, leadership, and love.
-
Tempted
Jesus already knew the general direction His ministry would have to take, and He knew where it would have to end. He had known that from the foundation of the world. But now that He was a man, could He do it? Did He have the resolve needed to follow the necessary course?
-
Pleasing Our Heavenly Father
John’s job would be to get us ready. And he did so by showing how to be pleasing to our heavenly Father through confession, repentance, and baptism.
-
The King of the Jews
Matthew’s gospel is the Royal Gospel, written primarily for a Jewish audience, and the events he recorded surrounding Jesus’ birth and childhood make it evident that He was indeed the promised king.
-
Found To Be With Child
Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born, something that was not only unusual, but humanly impossible. And it’s something that is doubted by skeptics, and unbelievers, even today.
-
Of Royal Descent
To Matthew’s readers this genealogy was very important, and very interesting. And it was vital to Matthew’s presentation of Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, the King of Kings. This is the royal gospel, written to the Jews, to show them that Jesus is the king they were expecting, the one foretold...
-
Final Words
Having concluded his main argument in the 12th chapter, our author now tries to get in the last word on just about every aspect of the Christian life.
-
The God of the Mountain
Jesus is central to the plan of salvation. And now that Jesus, the promised Messiah, has come, a new covenant between God and man is in effect. The old is invalid, so there’s nothing to go back to.
-
The Disciplined Life
It takes discipline to make a disciple.
-
Victors and Others
We’re going to look at several victors in faith, and some who weren’t, on the surface anyway, so victorious. And then focus on the One who perfects our faith and brings ultimate victory to all who are faithful.
-
Walls of Faith
Obviously not everyone agrees on the value of walls, and sometimes they do what we expect them to do, and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they keep us safe and secure, but sometimes walls fail. This morning we’re going to explore three walls, walls that stand, walls that crumble, and walls to…

Overcoming Fear
The Bible confirms that if we have faith in God there is no need to live in fear. And as we discovered when we began our study of faith in the Faith Chapter, faith is best understood by looking at the lives of those who lived by faith.
