Is salvation by faith ALONE? What about doing what Jesus said, the way Jesus said it, for the reason Jesus said to do it? Does obeying from the heart that form of doctine (i.e., being baptize into the death, burial and resurrection of Christ) invalidate the sacrifice of Jesus!? Take a listen! 

In the parable of the Wedding feast Jesus empathized judgment to those who do not submit to Him and His power/reign. In Jesus' time, the Jews at large were not submissive to His power! God had a judgment prepared for them in their life time (Mt. 24:3-34) and He still has a final judgment to come for all people that will be a time of sentencing for our eternal destinations. Take a listen! 

Jesus boldly cleansed the temple not once but twice in His ministry. He was eaten up with zeal for God and God's things. We need to carefully follow the example of Jesus. We need to take care of ourselves and then help others to enjoy the care of Jesus. Take a listen! 

Continuing in Matthew 20 I look at the details that Jesus predicted about His passion. So specific are these things that they very clearly serve as evidence that Jesus is divine. Jesus came to be Savior of the world and as such, His mission was for all. He knew exactly what would happen before He came and before it happened. Take a listen! 

In this episode I examine the context of Matthew 19:9 and the words of that statement. I expose and refute six commonly held false ideas. God's law is really not complicated. Man's desires and man's sins try to cloud the clear truth given. Open your Bible and take a listen! 

Greatness and Forgiveness go hand in hand. In this episode I offer clear exegesis of Matthew 18:15-18 where Christians are commanded to personally address personal wrongs and also I offer some practical suggestions in how to handle such situations. Take a listen! 

In this episode I continue my series in Matthew by examining the context of Matthew 17:1-9 where it's recorded that Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John and the Father in heaven spoke! What are is the significance of this even and what does it mean to you and me? 

In this episode I continue my series in Matthew by examining the context of Matthew 16:13-20 where it's recorded Jesus said "I will build My Church." Did He build it? What is it? Which church is Jesus' Church? How does one become a member of it? Take a listen! 

A continuation of my series from book of Matthew. When quesitoned by the religious leaders as to why He and His disciples did not keep the traditions of the elder His response was powerful. Do people invalidate the commandments of God today? If so, who? What can we learn from Jesus' teaching here? Take a listen! 

In this 10 min episode I highlight some details of a famous mythological flood account and point out it's significance to the Biblical text. I also overview some key words related to the flood that speak to it's global nature and worldwide impact. Take a listen!
