What did you think of today's message?

What if the questions you ask could transform your faith? Join us as we explore the profound impact of inquiry and trust in shaping our spiritual journey. Hear from Jeremy, a thoughtful sophomore at Benicia High School, as he reads from Matthew 22:41-46, setting the stage for an enlightening discussion with Pastor Jeff Bachman of Northgate. Jeff shares an incredible story of how kindergartners defused a hijacking through the power of questions, illustrating how Jesus used questions to reveal deeper truths and challenge the Pharisees.

Digging deeper, we unravel the mystery of Jesus' identity through the lens of Psalm 110. Learn how this prophetic Psalm foreshadows the Messiah and how Jesus quoting it creates a paradigm shift in understanding lineage and authority within Jewish tradition. We connect the dots between the Davidic covenant and the arrival of Jesus, highlighting how recognizing Him as the promised Messiah can transform our faith. As we reflect on the historical silence before His arrival, we find reassurance in Philippians 1 and the importance of questioning and trusting in the journey of faith.

Finally, we explore the evolution of Jesus' ministry as depicted in Matthew, chapters 1 to 23. From performing miracles discreetly to boldly declaring His identity, Jesus' approach reflects the urgency of His message. This episode challenges you to embrace your doubts and expectations, inviting Jesus into your hardships and uncertainties. Discover the significance of living fully in the present, seeking solace in prayer, journaling, and community, and responding to the profound question, "Who do you say that I am?" through a deep and meaningful relationship with Jesus.
