- Matthew 17:14-27 – When Evil Seems to Win
As Jesus headed down the mountain with Peter, James, and John, fresh from the revelation of his glory in the Transfiguration, he came back to the wakeup call of facing a helpless boy, a helpless father, helpless crowds, and helpless disciples. Faithlessness and inability to even understand the basic foundations of who God is and who Jesus is brought a cold reality check.
Our lives often feel that way. We might have occasional mountaintop experiences that are incredible – a vacation, a project finished at work, a presentation that was nailed, a perfect date – but then we come back to a screeching halt in the real world and regular life. Worse still, it can feel like evil is winning, and like there’s no good anywhere we look. This Sunday we will see how Jesus can meet us in the real stuff of life, in the mundane, and when we are faithless.

56 min - Matthew 17:1-13 – The Transfiguration
In one of the most stunning passages in the Gospels, the glory of Jesus Christ is revealed, he was changed right before the eyes of three of his disciples and had a conversation with Moses and Elijah on top of a mountain. It’s a major event in Peter, James, and John’s lives that is reflected in other places in the New Testament as well. We will take a look at why the Transfiguration matters, and what it tells us about Jesus and why we ought to listen to what he has to say.

51 min - 1 John 2:28-3:10 – Practicing Righteousness
Where we left off in 1 John, the churches were warned of false teachers, called antichrists, who were seeking to deceive everyone about the true identity of Jesus. Now, the old apostle tells the church to become what they already are. Having already been declared a child of God by faith in Christ, now the church is to put into practice the righteousness that results from faith. Twist: practicing righteousness may not be what you think it is. Righteous living is relational and not about an individual moral performance.

48 min - Matthew 16:13-28 – Who Do You Say I Am?
This passage brings us to the first time that Jesus’ own disciples identify Him as the Messiah, and a controversial passage about the nature of the church. I’m excited to dig in with you. Peter is identified as a key leader, the rock on whom the church would be built. We will also see the costly call to discipleship that Jesus extended then and extends to all of us now. It is not easy or comfortable to follow Christ. It’s a hard path, but it’s worth it.

50 min - Matthew 16:1-12 – The Leaven of Religion
When we left off, Jesus and his disciples were in Gentile territory and we saw the grace of God in the Kingdom of Heaven through the Messiah extend even to the ancient enemies of Israel. As chapter 16 begins, Jesus headed back into the region of Galilee where he was immediately confronted by the religious leaders and teachers, who were still demanding signs of God’s power. It is just more evidence of the Upside-Down Kingdom, that was missed by those who ought to have seen it most clearly, but seen and embraced by the least likely. We will also see the first time that Jesus’ own disciples identify Him as the Messiah, and a controversial passage about the nature of the church.

44 min - 1 John 2:17-28a – Be Unmovable
This week we will be returning to our intermittent study of John's First Letter. Although it is a sweet and personal expression of his love, it is also an urgent warning. He is sounding the alarm. They are in danger, grave danger.
John says he is writing ‘about those who are trying to deceive you.’ He says we are living in the last hour, and in the last hour, false teaching is a recurring pattern within the Christian community. It creates division, leads to opposition, and it results in fear and doubt.
How do we remain unmoveable in the face of opposition, fear and doubt?
John gives the assurance that they already know the truth; therefore, all they need to do is abide in it. Feel free to read 1 John 2:17-28 and come ready on Sunday. We will study together how abiding in the truth and abiding in fellowship with the Holy Spirit will guard us against spiritual deception.-------------------------------------------

46 min - Matthew 15:21-39 – Crumbs from the Table
After repeated attempts to get some time away and alone, Jesus left the region of Galilee and headed northwest into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Even in Gentile territory, though, He was recognized and people came to Him in need. Our author, Matthew, shows a clear contrast in this chapter between the responses of the religious leaders, Pharisees and Scribes, and the Gentiles. While the religious leaders have every tool and all the information available to them as God’s covenant people, they consistently missed him. Meanwhile, people who had no apparent reason to know who He is saw it all clearly. There is a lot for us to learn about faith in this passage. When we get past religious expectations, what is it that is the real stuff of faith? What can we watch in our own hearts to make sure that we have eyes to see God’s work and ears to hear His voice?

49 min - Matthew 15:1-20 – What Makes Us Clean
In our passage for Sunday, Jesus has yet another confrontation with the Pharisees and Scribes. This time it is over whether, or how, his disciples washed their hands. It led Jesus to bring stark clarity to the difference between God’s commands and man-made rules, and to clarify what it is that defiles us. It’s important for us as we work to follow Christ together. There are lots of religious expectations that people have that may or may not be actually rooted in Scripture. Depending on where you grew up, or how you grew up, those can shift and change, be familiar or totally foreign. On Sunday we will work to discern the difference between holiness and self-made religion.

50 min - Matthew 14:22-36 – Walking on Water
Matthew 14:22-36 gives us the account of Jesus walking on the stormy waters of the Sea of Galilee. While Matthew, Mark, and John all include an account of this event, only Matthew includes the detail of Peter asking Jesus to call him out to walk on the water as well. Peter climbed out of the boat, a huge act of courage, and walked toward Jesus, but got scared when he saw the storm and the waves. This is a fun story that has a lot to say to us about the nature of faith and doubt, the fear we face in suffering, and the hope we have in Jesus. I’m excited to jump into it together.
