We continue on in Matthew, seeing another healing from Jesus, on the Sabbath, and then how Matthew says Jesus, in his healing, fulfills Isaiah 42
What do we do with the Sabbath command from the 10 Commandments in the Old Testament? We look at this story in Matthew which points us to the answer in Jesus
We zoom in on one of the most beautiful invitations in the Bible: "Come to me, and I will give you rest."
After being rejected by many, Jesus turns to his Father and prays, thanking his Father for his (and their) sovereignty. Then Jesus beautifully invites people to come to him
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
(Apologies for the poor audio recording on this message). 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
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 people—people like us
