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

The King Of Rejection

Contributed by Gordan Runyan on Aug 23, 2002

With a nod to John Knox, this is about tyranny; what it is, why it is, how we escape it (including the tyranny of sin).

Webster’s dictionary defines “tyranny” as arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power. We don’t use the word “tyranny” a lot in our own day. We don’t routinely hear people in positions over us referred to as tyrants. (They may in fact be tyrants, but we don’t use the word.) But the word “tyranny” ...read more
