    Tipping Points

    Contributed by William Mouser on Oct 25, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,690 views

    In the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, the Jews reached a tipping point in their rebellion against God. Nations, kings, and ordinary men arrive at tipping points, from which they retreat, or pass on to judgment.

    Matthew 21:33-43 Tipping Points The gospel for today recounts yet another parable which Jesus told against the religious establishment of Israel. After he had spoken the parable, Matthew records these words: 45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He ...read more

    Who Did His Father's Will?

     | 14,984 views

    Right words never exceed right deeds, though it is always best when words and deeds match one another. Jesus’ parable of the two sons urges us to repent of our empty words and to fill them with obedience.

    Who Did His Father’s Will? Matt 21:28-32 Jesus’ teaching has many places in it where it is difficult to understand what he means. And, then there are those places where his meaning is clear, but the application what he says is tricky – or so we like to think. We have one of those places in the ...read more

    Saying Yes To God

    Contributed by Brian William on Nov 10, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 39,114 views

    When God became human, God said yes to humanity. When Jesus was obedient to the point of death, Jesus said yes to God. Because God said yes to us, we can say yes to God!

    Yes, no, maybe so. Yes, no, maybe so. Each and every day we’re faced with dozens of decisions – things or people or places or events that we must say yes or no to. Yes, I’ll have chicken for dinner tonight. No, I won’t have beef. Yes, I’ll go to work this morning. No, I won’t stay even a minute ...read more

    No Priests In The Church?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 19, 2015
     | 3,873 views

    Did Jesus intend the office of Priest to be included in the New Testament Church? If not, why not?

    Matthew 21:23-27 “Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while He was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him. ‘By what authority are you doing these things?’ they asked. ‘And who gave You this authority?’ “Jesus replied, ‘I ...read more

    Rejecting The Son...receiving The Sacrifice On Good Friday

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Apr 3, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,432 views

    Jesus sacrificed himself as a voluntary substitution for our sins. This Good Friday message uses the parable from Matthew 21 as a demonstration of the world around us.

    Jeffrey Ebert shared this story about an incident in his childhood. He wrote: When I was five years old, before factory-installed seat belts and automobile air bags, my family was driving home at night on a two-lane country road. I was sitting on my mother’s lap when another car, driven by ...read more

    We Can’t Make Up The Truth Series

    Truth is neither planned, nor willed. It imposes itself on human beings.

    December 14, 2009 St. John of the Cross Caritas in Veritate The conversation we overhear today between the chief priests and the elders is very instructive as we continue to reflect on the papal encyclical, Charity in Truth. When Jesus asks them whether John’s teaching was divinely inspired or ...read more

    ... And He Did Not Go

    Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Dec 3, 2013
     | 8,895 views

    What does God command/expect from those He calls? I wonder how many Christians are working in the vineyard with a slave mentality? The time to serve the Lord is not when your older, have more time, or when you have more experience. The time is today!

    “ . . . and he did not go” Matt. 21.28-32 Chester FBC Chester, IL Dr. Mike Fogerson, Speaker Introduction: A There is a trilogy of parables Jesus gives to the Chief Priests & Elders of the people (21.23) who had rejected John the Baptist and Jesus Himself. Matthew 21:23 (NASB) 23 ...read more

    What is the feast of the Messiah about, long awaited yet they didn't want to attend. So it became open to all who the servants called in.

    The parable of the great banquet: Luke 14:15-24 Yeshua said to him, “A certain man made a great supper and he called many.” 17“He sent his servant at the time of the supper to say to those who were invited, 'Behold, everything is ready for you; Come.' “ 18“And they ...read more

    The Question Of The Authority Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 15, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,610 views

    Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to us? The difference between words and action. Time for true repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE QUESTION OF JESUS’ AUTHORITY. Matthew 21:23-32. This conversation follows hard on the heels of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple (Matthew 21:12-16), and the symbolic withering of the fig tree (Matthew 21:18-20). “Who gave you the right to do such things?” demanded the Temple authorities, and ...read more

    By What Authority?

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 21, 2014
     | 3,208 views

    Who is Jesus? Was He just a man. Or was He a myth? Or is He the Divine Christ?

    By What Authority? Luke 19:45-20:8 Luke has just given extensive coverage of the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday. (See sermon: “It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want To”) So why does Luke give only one verse to the cleansing of the Temple when Matthew and especially Mark give extensive coverage? ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,356 views

    Are we about to reject the Rock of our salvation?

    ANOTHER SAD SONG OF THE VINEYARD. Matthew 21:33-46. The vineyard is a well-known motif for Israel (cf. Isaiah 5:7). We saw it in the parable of the labourers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), and in the example of the two sons whose father asked them to go and work in his vineyard (Matthew ...read more

    The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

    We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.
