As One Having Authority: Summing Up The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached Series

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 16, 2014

Why did the common people perceive Jesus' authority as being greater than the Scribes and Pharisees?

As One Having Authority: Summing Up the Greatest Sermon Ever Preached Matthew 7:28 What is authority? Or as some of the Postmoderns today ask: “Is there any authority?” Is authority the mere power to impose values on others by force? Is authority someone who is knowledgeable about a ...read more

The Message Of Matthew Series

Contributed by John Gaines on Jan 30, 2006

Matthew the tax collector was interested in following Jesus while the Pharisees saw him associating with the Lord and criticized Jesus for eating with sinners.

THE MESSAGE OF MATTHEW 1. Matthew 9:9-13 (NKJV) As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and followed Him. 10 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and ...read more

Telos

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 9, 2018

Of all the sins listed in our Gospel today, the telos in that list is extremely off-course from God.

22B People put their entire moral analysis on intention only; e.g. If my intention is good, I can do it. But actually, “telos” is the word in the Bible that orients ourselves toward God. Telos means “purpose, intent, goal.” E.g. Bulimia is acting against the telos of eating. A couple good ...read more

Silently Touch Jesus

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 8, 2023

The woman approached Jesus while he was reclining at the table and touched, washed, wiped, kissed, and anointed his feet.

The Bible tells that certain people had the privilege to silently touch Jesus. Without Jesus’ knowledge, a woman who had been sick for 12 years silently touched his garment as he passed through the crowd (Luke 8:43). In Luke 7:36, a sinful woman approached Jesus from behind and touched His ...read more

Who Is Jesus

Contributed by Martyn Baxter on Nov 24, 2008

Who do people say that Jesus is? Who do you say that Jesus is?

There are two questions I want to point us in the direction of from this passage of scripture; Mathew ch 16 v 13 Jesus asks, “Who do people say that the son of man is?” And Mathew ch 16 v 15 where Jesus asks “But who do you say that I am?” We start the narrative with this discourse between Jesus ...read more

Clashes Of Power Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 28, 2005

The series of clashes with the Pharisees reveal their blindness - blinded to (1) the true identity of Jesus and (2) the needs of man. Learn therefore that the power of life is in Jesus, and the focus of life ought to be the needs of others.

The 5 clashes Jesus had with the Pharisees: Mark 2:7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? - Jesus has authority on earth to forgive sins! Mark 2:17 "Why does he eat with tax collectors and ’sinners’?" - Jesus has come to save ...read more

Open The Eyes Of My Heart, Lord Series

Contributed by Guy Caley on Mar 9, 2003

8th in the series "Coversations With Jesus." Jesus gives sight to one blind man, but the spiritually blind Pharisees fail to perceive the Light of the World.

Introduction: Clip from DVD "AT First Sight" where bandages are taken off of Virgil’s eyes.

The Blind See, The Sighted Are Blind

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 30, 2006

The miracle of a blind man receiving his sight addresses the Problem of Affliction and Healing and that criticism by the Pharisees brought out both negative and positive reaction.

There’s a saying that ‘There’s none as blind as those who won’t see!’ As Helen Keller said: ‘What would be worse than being born blind? To have sight without vision.’ It’s certainly true in the encounter that Jesus had with the Pharisees on the occasion when He healed a man who had been born ...read more

Not A Leg To Stand On

Contributed by Marv Mutzenberger on Oct 26, 2004

Neither the Pharisee or the tax collector, and none of us have a leg to stand on when we use the standard of God to make judgments about ourselves.
