Jesus' third sermon finishes with a short narrative, and then Matthew chronicles the latest updates on John the Baptist. Join me as we explore a couple stories of current events, circa 1,990 years ago!

Let's talk about the last portion of Jesus' third sermon. Here, just another couple of parables about the Kingdom. Join me as we try to interpret accurately what Jesus is saying to His disciples!

Three more parables; one more interpretation. So, it's up to us to find the meanings.

Join me as we listen to Jesus' words and work toward understanding them!

The first of the parables, and one of the two that has an explanation paired with it. The sower is most likely not an unfamiliar story, but we'll attempt to examine it as unfamiliarly as possible.

Join me as we try and explore this tale as the listeners probably would have heard it!

Jesus begins His third sermon; we need to remember some of what's gone before. So, this episode touches on the concept of parables, themes of the whole book, and the outline of how Matthew is compiled. Join me as we go through an overview of this piece of literature, exploring where it's been and previewing where it's pointing to!

Jesus finishes His condemnation of the Pharisees in two last sections of this chapter. Join me as we examine what He speaks of and why He brings these sections up now!

The dialogue from before is picked up again, continuing the theme of anti-hypocrisy from before. Then, the Pharisees approach Jesus for the fourth time. How will He respond? And what can we learn? Join me as we investigate some of Jesus' rhetoric, as he utilizes it in this instance.

The Pharisees are back for the third round with Jesus. They're lost the last two badly, so how do you think this one is going to go? Join me as we explore Jesus' third refutation of their thought process!

The Pharisees continue being the issue Jesus has to deal with: so, He does. Join me as we examine how this all happens!

This is quite a while to spend on just the first eight verses, but Jesus' answer to the Pharisees' "innocent" comment is very worthy of our attention. Hopefully, this can do some of it justice. Join me as we examine what exactly Jesus is trying to communicate here!
