Matthew 20 | On the road to Jerusalem for the Passover, Jesus and His hoard encounter two blind beggars. Are they an interruption to Jesus' agenda, or are they on the agenda?

Matthew 20 | This week we are closing out a section on relationships in the Gospel of Matthew. We end with a mother that comes to advocate for her boys. It really isn't going to go well for them!

Matthew 19 | While Jesus is teaching, a rich young man asks about the entrance requirements to the Kingdom of God. Jesus gives a standard answers that rabbis would give, but the man thought he still might be missing something. Jesus seems to drill down to this man's roadblocks for the Kingdom.

Matthew 19 | Yes, we didn't plan it this way, but we get to talk about Jesus' teaching on divorce on Valentines Day! We take a look at the words Jesus says, the culture of marriage in ancient Israel, and the Law of Moses background. There's a whole lot more behind Jesus' words than just His words!

Matthew 18 | This week Jesus continues His teaching on interpersonal relationship with the them of forgiveness. Fact is people will bring you harm in one way or another. The question is what you do with it. Jesus has a solution that works for everyone!

Matthew 18 | Last week we saw that Jesus was quite upset with the disciples wanted to be ranked as if their movement was an ordinary part of society. After all, knowing where you ranked was important to everyone, except Jesus. As the ultimate iconoclast, Jesus tells us that we need to be all about the folks that find themselves on the outside looking in. Jesus backs that up with a parable about sheep and shepherds. Seems important to get this one right.

Matthew 17 | it is tax season and Capernaum! Peters asked if Jesus will be paying his Temple Tax. Peter says that He will, but Peter is only guessing.
