Choose faithfulness to Christ over perceived fairness in the world

Matthew 16-17 Saving Private Ryan is probably not the first thing that would rise to the top of anyone’s mind while reading through the book of Matthew. It sure wasn’t for me. Extra-violent war film and all that. But one of the characters from that movie is, I think, of some relevance to the portion…

If we remember back to last week, Jesus has been asked to perform miracles so that the Pharisees and Sadducees could bring charges against Him. His response was for them to beware of the leavening - the sin that had crept into the temple THROUGH the leaders. While the disciples were thinking of the bread…

Again, we find Jesus withdrawing to be with His disciples. He knew the end would be coming - very soon. But there was still SO much to teach and to tell them. It was time for them to learn that He was building a church —an assembly of people who would be confessing Him to be the Messiah. The present…

Are You Apart of the Community of Christ?

Shocking Statistics All disciples are believers, but not all believers are disciples. Let’s look at a few things as we get ready to start this series. Discipleship Jesus commands (Mt28:19-20) 19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son…

What a pivotal passage this has been. We have been in chapter 16 for 3 weeks now. This is a chapter where we see the transition from Galilee to heading to the cross 21 From that time on Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests…

This Scripture divides the Galilean ministry from the passion. Preparing the disciples for his death. “It is necessary,” not just merely future revelation , but important instruction for his followers. We are in a continuous battle. Jesus means his followers to share in Peter’s confession: to share too…
