    Life of Messiah 41 - Lord of the Sabbath - Matthew 12:1-21 Dr Fretwell

    Jesus, the Sabbath, and the Pharisees (Matthew 12): Lord of the Sabbath & Greater Than the Temple In this episode we will study Matthew 12 (with parallels in Mark) where Jesus and His disciples face Pharisaic confrontation over Sabbath regulations when the disciples pluck grain, an act permitted by Deuteronomy 23:25 but condemned by extra Pharisaic rules. • Jesus defends them using David eating consecrated bread (1 Samuel 21) and the priests working on the Sabbath • Jesus declares “something greater than the temple is here” and “the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath” • Jesus exposes legalism by healing a man with a withered hand in the synagogue, showing it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath • Mark highlights Jesus’ anger at their hardness of heart and the Pharisees conspiring with the Herodians to destroy Him • Matthew connects these events to Isaiah 42, emphasizing Jesus’ Spirit-anointed, merciful ministry and Gentile hope.

    Life of Messiah 39 - The Call of Matthew - Luke 5:27-39

    Luke 5 Explained: Jesus Calls Levi (Matthew), Dines with Sinners & the New Wine/New Wineskins Continuing the Life of Messiah series in Luke 5, Thomas Fretwell revisits Jesus’ healing of the paralytic in Capernaum and then focuses on Jesus calling the tax collector Levi (Matthew), highlighting the scandal of a rabbi welcoming an ostracised Roman collaborator and the cost of discipleship as Levi leaves everything to follow Christ. Levi hosts a banquet for Jesus with tax collectors and “sinners,” prompting Pharisaic criticism, to which Jesus replies that the sick need a physician and that He came to call sinners to repentance. The episode then provides historical background on the rise of Pharisaic/rabbinic “oral law” and the fence around Torah, explaining how this context clarifies Jesus’ illustrations about fasting, patching old garments, and new wine in new wineskins as a refusal to fit His mission into Pharisaic tradition and a call to bring people to Jesus.

    Life of Messiah 38 - Jesus heals the paralytic Luke 5 17-26

    Luke 5:17–26 — The Paralytic, Forgiveness of Sins, and Jesus’ Divine Authority Dr Fretwell continues a Luke 5 study in Capernaum as Pharisees and teachers of the law, including a delegation from Jerusalem, gather to investigate Jesus after the messianic healing of a leper. Jesus teaches the word, and four friends lower a paralysed man through the roof to reach him, demonstrating visible, active faith. Jesus first declares, “Your sins are forgiven,” intentionally echoing Leviticus’ sacrificial language to claim God’s authority, prompting accusations of blasphemy. Knowing their thoughts, Jesus challenges them and heals the man to prove the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. The man obeys, walks home glorifying God, and the crowd responds with astonishment, fear, and praise, emphasising humanity’s greatest need: forgiveness through Jesus.

    Standing Firm in Babylon Part 2

    In Part 2 of Standing Firm in Babylon, Dr Thomas Fretwell continues this timely New Year message by taking us deep into Daniel chapter 1, exploring how God’s people can stand firm in a hostile culture shaped by ideology, indoctrination, and spiritual opposition. Building on Part 1, this sermon traces Israel’s captivity to Babylon and shows how the same ancient strategies are still at work today. From the indoctrination of young people to the reshaping of identity, truth, and worship, Babylon’s methods are exposed and Scripture gives us the answer. In this message you will discover: - Why Israel went into captivity and how forsaking God’s Word always leads to bondage - How Babylon sought to re-educate, rename, and reshape God’s people - Why young people are the primary target - How Daniel and his friends resisted pressure through conviction, the Word, and prayer - The spiritual roots behind modern ideological movements and global unrest - What current events in Iran reveal about ancient alliances and present dangers - How believers today can live faithfully in the midst of cultural, political, and spiritual pressure At the heart of this message stands a powerful truth: one resolute, prayerful believer grounded in God’s Word can change history. Daniel was just a teenager—but he had already made up his mind to honour God at any cost. “Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself…” (Daniel 1:8) Become a supporter at: www.patreon.com/theologyandapologetics Visit: www.ezrafoundation.org/ www.theologyandapologetics.com/ Listen to the Theology & Apologetics Podcast on Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/2lviMYP...

    Standing Firm in Babylon Part 1

    This study looks to the story of Daniel in Babylon as a powerful reminder of what it means to stand firm in the faith while living within a culture that does not honor God. Surrounded by power, wealth, and idols, Daniel chose faithfulness to the Torah over comfort, influence, or fear. In this podcast Bible study, we explore how unwavering devotion to God shaped Daniel’s courage, prayer life, and integrity, and how those same principles equip believers today to remain grounded in truth. The culture may shift, values may erode, and pressure may increase, but faithfulness still matters. Join us as we begin the New Year focused on spiritual resolve, learning how to live faithfully in a modern Babylon while keeping our eyes fixed on heaven.

    The Miracle of Bethlehem

    This podcast explores the miracle of Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. It reflects on the Incarnation, God taking on human flesh, and what this moment means for faith, history, and hope. The episode looks at the humble setting of Bethlehem, the shepherds watching over the temple flocks who were among the first to receive the angelic announcement, and the significance of their witness. It also explains who the wise men were, their journey from the East, and how ancient prophecy guided them to the newborn King. Drawing connections to Daniel the prophet, the discussion traces how expectations of the Messiah were shaped centuries before Christ’s birth. Through Scripture, history, and reflection, this podcast invites listeners to rediscover the wonder of Christmas and the profound meaning of the miracle that changed the world.
