    based on 1 rating
     | 5,287 views

    This message looks at the healing of the paralytic and asks why we settle for less than God's best when we ask from God. It then looks at four examples of how we do similar things today.

    - We want to begin with something that stands out early in the story: the fact that they obviously come for physical healing, but Jesus responds to the man by saying that his sins are forgiven. - Why would Jesus do that? Was He unaware of what they’d come for? (Obviously not.) Was He ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013

     | 4,113 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

    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?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,781 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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 15, 2014
     | 4,464 views

    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?

When that happens, there is always a great ...read more
