In Matthew 6, we see the promise of great rewards and the hearts which seek to rob us of them. The reward Jesus holds out for the righteous is the reward of God himself.

Jesus' followers are called to live out a godly type of love. When we have received the costly, sacrificial love of Jesus, we are free to give this away lavishly to others.

Jesus explains how he fulfills the Old Testament law in a way allows us to follow him with a heart-level obedience, an obedience that is only possible through the gospel.

As Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount, he shows us who is truly blessed and happy, and it is not whom we would expect. Jesus' God-centered vision changes what we long for and what we give away.

The only true hope we can have in the world is found in Jesus' coming to the earth, in his First Advent, which we celebrate at Christmas, and in his Second Advent, when he will come again.

The author and main actor in the Christmas story is God the Father. To rightly celebrate Christmas, we must respond to him with awe and worship.

As Jesus begins his ministry, we see that his mission is to make disciples and bring all peoples into his kingdom.

Whether we act, or don't act, resit or fall, we all are motivated by something. Looking at Jesus' temptation in Matthew 4, Tyler Velin shows how Jesus' motivation and actions are essential to our own choices in life.

Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11

Whether we act, or don't act, resit or fall, we all are motivated by something. Looking at Jesus' temptation in Matthew 4, Tyler Velin shows how Jesus' motivation and actions are essential to our own choices in life.

The most important question we must answer is who Jesus is, because all that Jesus has ever said or done depends on his identity. God wants us to be so clear as to who Jesus is that he introduces Jesus through others and then tells us himself.
