Matthew 9:9–13

“Taking Offense at Jesus’ Call”

We started our next Bible study series tonight, embarking on Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Join us as we consider what on the surface appears to be a rather mundane greeting and yet is actually so much more.

Matthew 9:1–8

“He Gets Us”

Join us as we discuss the calling of Moses in Exodus 3.

In this sermon, Pastor Tony delves into Matthew 8:28–34, exploring the themes of "Opened Doors and Closed Hearts." Listen as he unpacks Christ's encounter with the demon-possessed men in the region of the Gadarenes.

**Gospel Power:** Pastor Tony begins by examining the extraordinary power of the Gospel as demonstrated in this account and elsewhere.

**Gospel Costs:** However, the Gospel comes at significant cost. Pastor Tony discusses the implications of the townspeople's reaction to the miraculous event, highlighting the tension between the Gospel and the personal sacrifices it demands.

**Gospel Rejection:** Finally, Pastor Tony confronts the sobering reality of Gospel rejection. Despite witnessing a profound miracle, the townspeople choose to close their hearts and ask Jesus to leave. He leads us in considering the implication of these truths on our own lives.

In this sermon, Pastor Tony delves into Matthew 8:23–27, where Jesus calms the storm. Join us as we explore, our need for rescue, our help, and our response.

**Our Need (vv. 23–24):** The disciples' dire situation, particularly their vulnerability and desperation, highlight the universal human experience and our innate need for rescue.

**Our Help (vv. 25–26):** Pastor Tony discusses Jesus' powerful response as the disciples cry for help, emphasizing Christ as our ultimate source of help in times of crisis.

**Our Response (v. 27):** Finally, Pastor Tony encourages us to recognize and consider our own responses to divine intervention.

Join us as we look at Moses's early life.

Join us and be encouraged as we consider Psalm 110 and the questions in the catechism pertaining to Christ's exaltation.
