Gospel of Matthew – Poor in Spirit

Our message follows on from last week’s intro to the Sermon on the Mount. We get into the Beatitudes for the next eight weeks, a series of blessings pronounced by Jesus, and will begin with the first one here. Our sermon, then, is aptly entitled, Blessed are the Poor in Spirit. What does it mean, how does it apply, how does it launch into the…

Gospel of Matthew – Breaking the Status Quo: An Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

This week’s sermon is a continuation of our study of the gospel of Matthew, but since it is a Fifth Sunday Topical, providentially, we have a topical sermon. In this message, we will introduce the Sermon on the Mount. The message is entitled “Breaking the Status Quo: An Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount” and is launching from [esvignore]Matthew 5:1-2[/esvignore]. We will…

Gospel of Matthew – Follow Me

Our sermon is entitled “Follow Me” and will be taken from [esvignore]Matthew 4:12-25[/esvignore]. As we move through the gospel verse by verse, here we encounter the calling of the first four disciples. This is an easily overlooked passage in the gospel of Matthew, the meat of the story of Christ’s introduction is over, and the Sermon on the Mount begins in the…

Gospel of Matthew – The Temptation of Jesus

This Sunday our sermon is entitled “The Temptation of Jesus” and is drawn from [esvignore]Matthew 4:1-12[/esvignore]. Here we learn some important facts about our Lord’s ministry and how important such a story really is in the larger plan of the gospel. We also learn some very important practical lessons for daily living that will almost certainly offend our worldly side a little,…

Gospel of Matthew – The Baptism of Jesus

Our sermon is entitled, “The Baptism of Jesus.” We come to the first of our Lord’s true active ministry actions in this passage. Up to now, we have been speaking all about the Lord as Matthew has been introducing Him, showing us that He is the Messiah from the testimony of prophets and scripture. But now, the Lord speak for Himself. In…

Gospel of Matthew – Axe to the Root & The Urgency of Repentance

This week we continue in the ministry of the Word in Matthew’s gospel. Our message is  and is taken from [esvignore]Matthew 3:1-12[/esvignore]. Here we are introduced to John the Baptist, but unlike other gospel writers, Matthew gets right to the meat of John’s purpose – repentance, and the urgency of repenting. John is the forerunner, we learned about him in the Gospel…

Gospel of Matthew – The Refugee: Wanted and Despised

Our sermon is taken from the Gospel of [esvignore]Matthew 2:13-23[/esvignore]. This message will show us the great divide between the world and Christ. With wickedness rampant in tyrannical leaders like Herod, the world is never a safe place for Jesus or His followers. From the Lord’s earliest days, He is hunted. Matthew shows us yet again that this is the expected circumstance…

Gospel of Matthew – The Visit of the Magi

Our message will cover [esvignore]Matthew 2:1-12[/esvignore]. Here we learn some truths that may challenge what you think you know about the Magi. Our task is to take our knowledge from the Bible, not from tradition and holiday songs, so we get to do just that. We’ll discover who King Herod is, what kind of people surround him, and why they responded the…

Gospel of Matthew – Fully God and Fully Man

Today we look at [esvignore]Matthew 1:18-25[/esvignore], a storehouse of core doctrine and an encouraging passage about the birth of Jesus. Here we will encounter the unique purpose of the virgin birth, the power of our Lord’s name, and the mystery of the union of Christ’s two natures. It may seem unusual to many of us, speaking of the incarnation in the middle…

Gospel of Matthew – Son of David, Son of Abraham

Our message will cover [esvignore]Matthew 1:1-17[/esvignore], a beautiful bit of scripture, because of the wisdom of Matthew to begin with a distinctly royal lineage. Even from a list, we find great hope that heaven is not barred to us Gentiles and sinners, for our Lord is not ashamed to find in His descendants tainted blood and sinful people. When the gospel can…
