Jesus talks about the pride and unreasonableness many have as they reject him. Then he pronounces prophetic woes on seemingly moral and religious cities who rejected him. And we try to gather it all up and ask why Jesus would talk the way he does and what it means for us

We encounter John the Baptist's doubts concerning Jesus and how Jesus answers them. Then Jesus so honors John, even pointing to those great in his kingdom.

We conclude Jesus's second major discourse on missions by seeing him talk about the radical nature of following him, coupled with amazing promises showing us it's worth it

(Apologies for the poor audio recording on this message)

In his discourse about evangelism and missions, we now turn to look at Jesus's teaching about encountering opposition, how we are to respond to it, and some encouragements in the midst of it

We begin Jesus's second major teaching in Matthew, where, out of love for "harassed and helpless sheep...without a shepherd," Jesus sends out his original, authoriative twelve apostles, and he still sends us

We look together at three more healing stories in Matthew, seeing more of who Jesus is and how he loves to help weak, broken peoplepeople like us.

We continue in the book of Matthew to see what Jesus profoundly has to teach about fasting, and specifically about how radically different it is now that he's brought the new covenant

Jesus lived, died, rose in history. We trust him. He shares his resurrected, eternal life with us his people. We look into all that and more in our Easter 2024 messsage from Romans 6.

We see 3 things about us, 2 things about Jesus's cross, and one huge thing about God's love from Romans 5

We look at the complicated scene of the Triumphal Entry to learn about Jesus, receiving Jesus, and what's going on in the whole world with Jesus
