This week we're continuing Matthew 26. We're picking up right where we left off last week by following the moments right after the Passover meal as Jesus and a few disciples go to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. 

We cover the humanity of the Son of Man on full display, the importance of what He prays and his dedication to the Father's will above his own and the significance of how He responses to this disciples sleeping. 

We then move towards the climax of this section of scripture by puling in details from other gospel accounts to paint the full picture of what's happening and dig into the moments that set the stage for what happens next and why it's a mistake to read Judas as the villain of this story.

This week we're continuing our conversation on Matthew 26. We start off by discussing Judas betraying Jesus to the religious leaders and the implications of Jesus's words to him during their meal together. 

We then move into the Passover meal. We take a look at this beautiful moment shared with Jesus and the men that He did life with and discuss why this moment in history is so significant when viewed from the context of the continuous narrative of scripture.

This week we're beginning our walk through Jesus's last days. As things ramp up into a crescendo, after wrapping up His last teaching that was filled with language of warning and the power and glory of His second coming we are almost immediately met with the reality of what Jesus came to do. 

We are getting closer to the Passover meal and ultimately the death of Jesus and Jesus takes the time to remind the disciples of what must happen as they are together sharing a meal. During this time we see a stunning display of anointment and love of Jesus. 

We're going to walk through the historical context of the "world's stage" that these events will be playing out in as well as the thematic significance of what happens here and the beauty shared in these moments.

This week we're covering Matthew 25 and the parables of the Ten Virgins, The Talents and The Sheep and Goats. In all 3 of these parables, Jesus presents a need for us as Kingdom Citizens to be prepared for His coming...but what does that mean? 

Far too often these parables are taught as either a moral tale or a scare tactic that Jesus may come at any moment so we must always be on our best. However, what if these parables are simply just Jesus pushing forward the very same concepts He's been preaching this whole time? 

This week we're covering what it means to live in a posture of readiness and why as citizens of the Kingdom of God, we don't have to be afraid and anxious when what we have is lived in in the every day.

This week we're finishing up Matthew 24 by discussing the The Coming of The Son of Man. We're walking through some of the different interpretations that exist around this section of scripture including the thought that the entirety of these verses center around the destruction of the temple in A.D 70. 

We're discussing how certain events in human history act as a shadow of sorts for what these verses are ultimately pointing at why it's important to consider not only the context in which Jesus saying these things but also who He's saying them to. 

We wrap up the chapter by discussing why it's so important to consider the full picture when unpacking the realities of life as a Christian. Yes, we look ahead towards Heaven and towards the coming of the king but what impact does that have or should that have on how we operate here and now in the present context.

This week we're continuing our breakdown of Matthew 24 by discussing the abomination of desolation. We're covering how the echoes of past events act as forshadowings of the ultimate fulfillment spoken about by Jesus. 

We also discuss how Jesus's words conflict with modern popular interpretations of end times events including as the title suggests...The Rapture.

This week we're beginning our discussion of Matthew 24 and getting into a conversation about the "end times". This is a subject that is at the heart of a lot of fierce debate within the Christian world with a lot of different hot takes, theories and time lines. 

Our goal is to ignore the desire to create a timeline of events and focus on a Christocentric breakdown of Jesus is laying out about what the world is going to look like in the in between time that we currently live in. 

We define some of the terms that are used here that have been given some bad explanations over the years and seek to focus on why it's so important not to lose sight of the unchanging posture that we are called into as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

This week we're doubling back to clarify a few things from last week that you guys had some questions about dealing with the application of Matthew 23 on the modern context and impact of Jesus' words on us today while still considering the original context of the chapter. 

In the clarification we're unpacking the realities of how easy it is as a human to miss the point of Jesus' words and make our own perspective the most important aspect of how we process the world. 

Once we finish up the clarification from last week, we're finishing up the chapter by completing Jesus' statements against the religious leaders and unpacking His heart of full display as He laments what is going to happen to the people who rejected Him.

This week we're covering the first part of Matthew 23 where Jesus is in the midst of one of his final teaching moments during his earthly ministry on His way to the cross. He systematically breaks down some of the ways that the religious leaders are missing the point and we go into how we today can draw on these lessons as to not make the minor notes into the major notes and explore the freedom of life in the Kingdom.

The Intersection of Law and Love

This week we're covering the rest of Matthew 22. In this episode we're going to discuss the question presented to Jesus by the Sadducees about the Resurrection. We're going to unpack what Jesus says as well as HOW and WHY He says what He says. 

This is where we are going to see Jesus present a response using specifically scripture that was acceptable to them to prove His point and to display the heart of God. 

We're then going to move onto the Pharisee's attempt to trip Jesus by asking about the Great Commandment. We're again going to unpack Jesus's response and why it's so important to understand what it means to love God and love other's and why it's at the very heartbeat of the Kingdom. 

Lastly, we're going to cover Jesus turning the tables on them and asking about what they know of the Messiah, displaying the age old issue of humans missing what's right in front of them.
