    Explore the authority of Christ, the audacity of the Pharisees, and the call for believers to persist in their faith.

    Good morning, Church family! I'm feeling particularly moved today as we dive into a powerful passage from the Gospel of Matthew.

    Conflicts, Confession, And The Cost Of Discipleship, Part 1 ( Matthew 16:1-12)

     | 107 views

    In this chapter, the Lord Jesus will yet again confront the Pharisees and Sadducees for their religious hypocrisy and Peter will confess that Jesus is the Son of God, which is the rock upon which the church will be built.

    After feeding the 4,000 residents of the Decapolis, Jesus and His disciples traveled to the region of Magdala near the city of Caesarea Philippi. It is here where the Pharisees and Sadducees came together for the specific purpose of bringing down Jesus. Their mutual contempt for Him had woven ...read more

    A Lamb For Man

     | 847 views

    Christ is the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He is our Passover. We should not have anything to do with any past sins (“old leaven”) because He has freed us from the shackles of sin.

    Because they did not have time to wait for the bread to rise, the Hebrews were instructed to make bread without yeast (“unleavened bread”) as they prepared for their exodus from slavery in Egypt. They were told to remove all yeast from the house because it was also a symbol of sin. (Exodus 12:15, ...read more

    The blind man over came the problem of the Pharisees; they could see, but could not believe.

    Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Doest thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, ...read more

    Jesus’ healing of a blind man confirms his identity as a sinner in the eye of the Pharisees.

    Who could POSSIBLY object to the healing of a blind man? Well, plenty of people. Jesus is strolling around the town when he sees a man who has been blind since birth. The common thinking at that time was that such afflictions as blindness and deafness were brought about by sin -- somebody’s sin. ...read more

    The parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector as it high lights our position before God.

    Introduction What do you think this passage is about? Prayer? Well, yes Jesus uses the way people pray in his parable, so there are some important lessons about prayer. Arrogance? Pride? Humility? There is certainly a lot in the parable about arrogance or pride and humility. Final judgement? The ...read more

    This is a sermon calling us to repentance from a better than thou attitude of the Pharisee

    When we look at the text today we see that Dr. Luke made no bones about who Jesus was addressing in this parable. Jesus was telling this parable to the high and mighty, holier than thou folks. He was addressing the religious folks that acted like they were just a little better than everyone else. ...read more
