The most important thing we can ever do is help someone take their next step closer to Jesus.

Luke includes Jesus' "synagogue sermon" where the other writers did not. Why did he include it here at the beginning of Jesus' ministry and what was the message?

It's such a counter-intuitive, upside-down, backward truth that people, though they think it sounds nice, have a next to impossible time actually living it. Yet, Jesus said it was THE way to life.

There's a huge phenomena in faith that we don't talk about. When we are trying to walk by faith and things get more murky, confusing and difficult. It's not just that we're tempted to give up, the circumstances make us wonder if we SHOULD give up. How do we learn to hang in there, even when things are confusing?

The Gospel of Jesus doesn't sound like good news to people who think they can handle life on their own. But it sounds like GREAT news to people who, through trial and error, have realized there really is only one way.

As we end the book off Matthew we take a look at Jesus's great commission and how we cannot assume others know Him!

Too often we present the Gospel just as forgiveness, which is true but it's not the entire truth. Like a rowboat with only one paddle, preaching half the Gospel sends us in circles, never really moving forward. What are we missing?

Most of us could recycle our New Year's Resolutions every year. There's something about change that is so hard it feels impossible. But there is a way to write a better story for our lives. As we explore the Gospel of Matthew, we'll catch a glimpse of a better story for our lives.

Nobody was apathetic about Jesus. Some were compelled, some were repulsed but nobody ignored Him. What was the difference between the ones who were drawn to Jesus and the ones who were driven away?

Joy is a discipline, you have to light the fire before you feel the warmth. But once the flame of joy is lit it glows bright. The arrival of Jesus brings joy to the world!
