The King's Defense

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 29, 2013

Many questions we ask are not really coming from a place of curiosity but have ulterior motives, and we’re going to see that in action today.

The middle part of Matthew chapter 22 is incredible. Three groups are going to use questions to try and trap Jesus into saying something that will get him killed. They all, government, the Pharisees, and Sadducees all wanted to get rid of Him. The Herodians represent the secular, political and ...read more

Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022

They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more
