Are you part of the family of God? Are you a genuine brother or sister? In this sermon, we continue to examine the responses of the Pharisees to Jesus. In this passage, we discover that the Pharisees look like family members, but are cheap imitations. God's true family are not those of the flesh, but those of the Spirit. Thos who are filled with faith in Jesus.

What is the unforgivable sin... and why is it so bad? We continue our series in the Gospel of Matthew and explore this every debated topic. what we discover, however, is that this passage really isn't about the "unforgiveable sin" - it's about Jesus, the Redeemer, the ONE who forgives sin!

We continue to exam the various responses which people have to Jesus. In particular we look at the “jerk-responses.” Those who are judgmental and those who are schemers. Yet we don't stop there. We look at Jesus, in contrast to these “jerks.” Jesus is the anti-jerk. He's the one who comes to the weak, and promises not to break them. He's the one who nurtures and tends to the smallest amount of faith. He's the one who is our hope and our model.

Are you burdened with guilt – good news! There is hope for the guilty! In contrast with the negative responses of the self-righteous, today we examine the positive response of faith.In Jesus' day, the religious leaders had piled all kinds of extra-Biblical rules upon the people – as a result they were loaded with guilt. These are the “children” who have ears to hear. They recognize their guilt and their own need for help. And to them, Jesus offers an invitation: Come and find rest!
