    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,156 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 30, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,978 views

    It's a fact worth pondering: the tax collectors and sinners LIKED being with Jesus. That's not usually how the lost feel around us. What did Jesus have that we don't?

    AN IMPORTANT FACT: The tax collectors and “sinners” liked hanging out with Jesus. - Matthew 9:10. - It’s easy to rush past verse 10 and get to the rest of this story, but it’s worth settling for a moment here and thinking about its implications. The tax collectors and ...read more

     | 2,314 views

    Why focusing on sacrifice causes trouble and how focusing on compassion (as Jesus instructs us to) brings better results.

    WHAT'S WRONG WITH SACRIFICE? Sacrifice is not intrinsically bad, but the problem is when we say that more sacrifice equals a better Christian. - Matthew 9:13. - There is a lot that is good to sacrifice. Like many other things, though, making it the ultimate goal of our Christian life puts us in ...read more

    Did Jesus Come To Repair The Old Way?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,823 views

    Jesus' comment on wineskins is confusing to many. What does it mean and how does it tie into His comments right before that on fasting?

    DID JESUS COME TO REPAIR THE OLD WAY? There are some of the same elements, but we need to know that this is a new thing. - Matthew 9:14, 16-17. - There will still be fasting – Jesus doesn’t dismiss it. Instead, He says it’ll happen when He is taken away from them (when the ...read more

    This passage is a "sandwich," which leads to some significant parallels and contrasts.

    THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THIS PASSAGE: This story is a sandwich. - What does that mean?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 21, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,632 views

    What happens when we don't fear God as we should but instead focus our fears on the things of this world?

    MISPLACED FEAR: We are often scared of the wrong things. - Luke 12:4. - Now, what exactly do we mean when we talk about “fearing God”? - It’s not a cowering-in-the-corner type of thing. It’s awe, a respect, an awareness of how great He is. It’s also awareness that ...read more

     | 10,498 views

    This passages initially looks like a call to greater faith, but what Jesus is actually saying points in the opposite direction.

    WHY DID JESUS SAY THAT? Who wants a flying mulberry tree? - Luke 17:6. - This verse is generally taken as a generic injunction to have more faith, but let’s think about it for a moment. It’s a peculiar request when you think about it. Why exactly would anyone want to watch a mulberry tree come ...read more
