    The question from John's disciples about fasting reveals a serious disconnect to what Jesus is trying to accomplish.

    WHY DON'T THEY FAST? The question from John’s disciples shows that they missed the point that Jesus just made. - Matthew 9:13-14. - In v. 14, John’s disciples come and ask about why Jesus’ disciples aren’t fasting. In other gospels, it gives us more information that the Pharisees were in the ...read more

    Satan seeks to do all he can to hinder and defeat the church. One of the tools he likes to use is deception. If he can distort the truth, causing people to believe a lie, then he has succeeded in his efforts.

    The Peril of False Prophets (Part 2) Matthew 7: 15-20 In our last study we began to consider Jesus’ teaching concerning false prophets, those who come in among the church in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
