Matthew 12:1-8

Jesus and the disciples were plucking some grain on the Sabbath. When the Pharisees and scribes challenged Jesus, He rose up to the challenge. Andrew and Edwin uncover what Jesus really was saying about Himself when He talked about being greater than the temple. Don't let anyone tell you He never said it.

Matthew 11:25-30

Andrew and Edwin uncover there are at least two different kinds of children in Jesus's teaching. A few conversations ago, we learned about arrogant children who want to play the game by their own rules. In today's conversation, we find humble children who are actually a great example for us.

Matthew 11:20-24

Today's culture is all about tolerance. The problem is life is preparing us for judgment and if we refuse to follow Jesus, judgment will not be tolerant at all. Andrew and Edwin discuss precisely how intolerant judgment will be and how all our protests to it won't change a thing.

Matthew 11: 16-19

Jesus tells a parable that Edwin has misunderstood for a long time. Andrew has always gotten it right though. So, there is that. Which marketplace children represent Jesus and John, which ones represent the Pharisees, Scribes, and Jews. Our hosts then demonstrate how Jesus was talking as much about our generation as His.

Matthew 11: 7-15

Jesus talks about the least in the kingdom for the second time in Matthew. However, this time, He seems to mean something different. Andrew and Edwin discuss this helpful insight into Bible study. They also springboard into what true greatness really is.

Matthew 11: 1-6

Andrew and Edwin consider the seeming doubts of John the Baptist. Was he really unconvinced Jesus was the Messiah? Or was it something else. Edwin refers to Richard Foster's "Studies in the Life of Christ" to make a different suggestion. And that brings them to a powerful application for our own lives today when we think Jesus isn't behaving the way we expect Him to.

Matthew 10:34-42

Andrew and Edwin discuss what it really means to bear our cross. That old saying, "We all have our cross to bear," doesn't even come close to what Jesus meant.

Andrew and Edwin take a seeming contradiction head on. Jesus once said the peacemakers are blessed, but now says He didn't come to make peace. What is that about?

Matthew 10:24-33

Andrew and Edwin discuss this different context in which Jesus talks about the disciples being like their teacher. In other contexts, it has to do with behaving like Him and teaching like Him. In this context, we are talking about suffering like Him. Wow! That's tough. But suffering like Jesus is enough for us.

Matthew 10

Andrew and Edwin consider how we are supposed to behave because we live in the midst of wolves. They discuss what it means to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
