Awake Us Now

This week's text is Matthew 14:4-33. A fascinating look at 24 hours in the life of Jesus and His disciples: John the Baptist beheaded, the feeding of the 5,000, and Jesus walks on water.

This week's text is Matthew 13:40 - 14:7. Pastor explores several more parables of Jesus; there will be a judgement and evil will be destroyed, only things of God will remain; the narrative of the entire Bible holds together from beginning to end, the Old and New Covenants, ending with the story of Herod, Herodias and John the Baptist.

This week's text is Matthew 13:10-39. Jesus' parables on the Kingdom of Heaven - a sower spreading seed, a wheat field with toxic weeds mixed in, a sprouting mustard seed, yeast in bread dough; Jesus explains the parables to the disciples but not to the crowd; His parables conceal truth from those unready or unwilling to receive it, but reveal the Kingdom of Heaven to those who truly hear and understand.

This week's text is Matthew 12:32 - 13:11. Pastor talks about the "unforgivable sin," Jesus' "three days" in the grave, and also takes us into chapter 13 where Matthew begins to focus on the parables of Jesus.

This week's text is Matthew 12:3-37. Jesus continues to be challenged by the Pharisees' anger, bitterness and scheming as Jesus continues to show who He is. He shows us how a heart-change is needed!

Pastor takes us through an exploration of one of the earliest Christian statements of faith.

1 Corinthians 15:3-5 Paul said, "For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve."

Of FIRST Importance is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Jesus is the sacrificial victim who pays for the sins of the world. Only an innocent victim can pay for the sin of another and only God Himself can pay for the sins of all.

The statement goes on with… that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures and that he appeared to Cephas (Peter) and the twelve.

This is a statement of faith about who Jesus is. The followers of Jesus declared:

Jesus' deity

Jesus' death

Jesus' resurrection

These are the fundamentals of biblical faith and they are at the heart of everything Jesus taught, Jesus has done and Jesus is doing and they are everything the Scriptures proclaim.

This week's text is Matthew 11:13-12:4, with a continued study of John the Baptist as fulfilling the prophecy of "Elijah who was to come" as he points to Jesus as the fulfillment of the prophesied Savior. The class continues exploring Jesus' identity through the teachings on repentance and forgiveness found in Jesus, as we learn that it is through Him alone that we can come to know the Father.

In Matthew 10:29 - 11:15 we learn we are ambassadors for Christ with the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. The Holy Spirit enables us to be effective witnesses wherever we go. We are called to live for Christ, and that has phenomenal consequences both for us and for others. In chapter 11, Matthew shows us Jesus' identity.

Pastor continues his verse by verse study of the book of Matthew. Today's teaching is on Matthew 10:7-31. This section of Scripture is filled with some challenging instruction from Jesus that is filled with Divine Wisdom.

Pastor continues his verse by verse study of the book of Matthew. Today's teaching is on Matthew 9:18 - 10:10. This week's study shows us Jesus as the Son of David, the Messiah. We also explore Jesus' encouragement to spread the Gospel message to all, both Jew and Gentile.
