    Joseph's Dreams

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 6,527 views

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

    Matthew 2:19-23 Joseph’s Dreams 12/22/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction Do you sometimes wake up tired because of vivid dreams? I imagine Joseph had that problem. Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more

    The last few weeks we were in the vineyard, working the fields, sweating, watering vines, pruning vines, getting sweaty, talking servanthood, talking pride vs. humility, talking about the kingdom of God pattern in regard to gifts received, timing, all of it.

    Zacchaeus Meets Jesus Series

     | 2,800 views

    Whatever the reason was that made Zacchaeus want to see Jesus he was determined to see him. He went to great lengths. He ran ahead of the crowd and he climbed a sycamore tree so he could catch a glimpse of Jesus as he passed by.

    Some people are very interested in the Royal Family of Great Britain. I must confess that for me, not so much. Just in a year over 3 million visited the Royal residence. There is clearly sky-high interest in the UK royal family. But not me. No way am I standing for hours with the crowds just to ...read more

    In these 25 verses, most of which do read something like a phone directory, we have the theological stage set for all of the rest of Matthew’s gospel. And not only is the shape set forth for the rest of the gospel, the shape and form of the entire New Te

    In the calling of Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow Jesus we see a lesson for all who would follow Him that 1) A Disciple shows Diligence (Matthew 4:18–20) and 2) A Disciple shows Determination (Matthew 4:21–22)

    Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

    Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more
