This week, we walk through Matthew 12 and wrestle with a challenging question: what do we do when Jesus confronts our categories? As the Pharisees accuse the disciples of breaking the Sabbath, Jesus exposes the danger of rigid, rule-based religion that misses the heart of God. Through Scripture and powerful logic, He reveals that human […]

This week, Pastor Brad Beers picks up in Matthew 9. Matthew weaves together miracle after miracle to show that Jesus is the promised Messiah—the One foretold in Book of Isaiah and Book of Jeremiah.

Why weren’t Jesus’ disciples fasting? In Gospel of Matthew 9, Jesus is asked a question that goes far deeper than food. At stake is what counts as righteousness—and whether the spiritual life is defined by religious performance or covenant relationship.
