- Matthew 2:13-23Salt &Matthew 2:13-23 Light for the Kingdom of Heaven | Matthew 5:1-16
What is the “kingdom of heaven”? What characterizes its citizens in the age before it comes in its fullness? How do its citizens enlist other ones?
Matthew 5:1-16
http://media.urclearning.org/audio/AMK_Matt_5_1_16.mp30 min - Matthew 2:13-23–Divinely Protected to Bring GloryTo side with baby Jesus was to side with God, to reject Him was to reject God. No matter, as Jesus was divinely protected in order to this time obediently re-live the history of the nation of Israel and its prominent leaders and bring glory to the universe. Hosea 11 Matthew 2:13-230 min
- Matthew 2:1-12–Rejecting or Receiving Jesus“King” Herod and the unbelieving Jewish rulers show us how and why people reject Christ. The mysterious eastern magi are surprisingly brought to Jesus as examples of His grace to us Gentiles, and of lives devoted to Him. Matthew 2: 1-120 min
- Acts 2:36-39 | Baptism- Guilt, Grace, and GratitudeOn the glorious occasion of the baptism of two children in our church, we considered the basic law-and-gospel meaning of baptism. Acts 2:36-390 min
- Matthew 1:16-24 | An Unusual, Miraculous Conception and BirthJesus’ conception and birth was magnificent, unusual, miraculous, and extraordinary. It’s no wonder, since His birth is a destiny-of-the-universe-altering event. Isaiah 7:1-16; 8:1-10; 9:2, 6-7 Matthew 1:16-240 min
- Matthew 4:1-11 | Adam and Israel Failed, But Christ PrevailedJesus’ temptation ordeal in the wilderness was His triumphant re-living of both Eve and Adam’s Garden of Eden failure, and the Israelites’ wilderness wandering failure. Jesus’ obedience here was His one summary act of obedience (Romans 5:18) by which He reversed the curse and earned righteousness for His elect. Matthew 4:1-110 min
- Matthew 1:1-17 | A Monumental Birth
Matthew uses the sacred Old Testament genealogical list to introduce the monumental event of Jesus, the Great and Universal King, being born into the world. [please note: I meant to say “squelch our enthusiasm” instead of “quench our enthusiasm” right near the beginning of the sermon].
2 Samuel 7:11-16
Matthew 1:1-17http://media.urclearning.org/audio/AMK_Matt_1_1-17.mp30 min - Psalm 41 | You are blessed if you regard The Weak Man
This closing bookend of Book 1 of the Psalms connects clearly to Psalms 1 and 2. We must align ourselves with Jesus in His weakness, because the Lord restores, sustains, and blesses both Jesus and all who are found in Him.
Psalm 41
http://media.urclearning.org/audio/AMK_PS_41.mp30 min - Psalm 39–While on the First Path
Psalm 39 is what you sing when the prosperity of the wicked discourages you almost to the point of despair.
https://media.urclearning.org/audio/AMK_PS_39.mp331 min - Psalm 37 | Two Paths
Psalm 37 talks about two paths and their ultimate destinations. In Christ we are on the first path, and though we should not be surprised or discouraged when we don’t receive the desires of our hearts right now, this path does lead to the happy land of glorification.
