Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church & School in Collinsville, IL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 16:1-12.

The Pharisees and Sadducees wanted a sign, even though signs were everywhere, and Jesus once again proves that all we need is Jonah. If you don’t see Jesus in Jonah’s three days in the big fish and his resurrection, one will not understand the cross and empty tomb. This is why we all need “fight the good fight” to keep grounded in the truth of Christ as our bread of life. The leaven of false teaching can grow without us knowing which is why we repeat the promises of God in Christ so that we may have the peace and joy of His sign of salvation upon us. “Lord Jesus Christ, as You are the greater Jonah, keep us from false teaching and the cares of this world. Fill us with truth that we may understand and believe in Your gracious salvation. Amen”
