In Matthew 17, Jesus takes three disciples up on a mountain and is transfigured before them. Here Jesus reveals his glory to the disciples and forces us to ask ourselves, "Who is Jesus?"
Jesus changes Simon's name to Peter, and says something confusing about a rock and the church. What does Jesus mean? What's the significance of Peter's name change, and is it Peter that the church is built on? Listen in to learn more!
Jesus is asking us what he asked the disciples: Who do you say I am? And even more than that, what does that mean for my life as your follower?
Seeing is not believing. Jesus makes that abundantly clear when he responds to the Pharisees and Sadducees' demand for a sign. In fact, the opposite is true: you cannot see until you believe. This is what happened to the disciples in their scarcity mindset; it wasn't until Jesus reminded them of His provision and abundance that they saw and understood. Have you seen and believed?
At every turn we see Jesus full of compassion on the Canaanite woman and her daughter, the crowds of sick and hurting and hungry people in need of healing and food. Jesus shows us what true compassion is. His words were established in his actions, and He always has been and always will be a God of love and compassion on those who come to Him in faith.
In Matthew 15, Jesus talks about the heart - he says the Pharisees and scribes have hearts that are far from God, and he says that evil comes from the heart. So what is the heart? What's the problem with our heart? And what does a renewed heart look like?
The account of Jesus walking on water tells us a lot about God, and invites us to respond to Jesus.
Jesus takes what little we give to him, and turns it into abundance.
Jesus was rejected at his hometown; John the Baptizer was beheaded wrongfully. If this is how the Kingdom of Heaven comes, what does that mean for us?
Sure the resurrection is important, but what does it mean? In today's sermon from Luke 24, we follow the story of the Bible - Creation, Fall, Redemption, New Creation - and discover how Jesus' resurrection has both cosmic and personal implications.
Follow along as we look at Jesus' final days. What was he doing? Who was he spending time with? How was he responding to those around him? And, how can we as his disciples follow the same path to the cross?
Do you have a compelling vision for your life in the Kingdom of Heaven? We have visions for everything: our finances, homes, careers, relationships. But do we have a compelling vision for the life Jesus has for us? If all of life is a seeking after value, what do we value? In this sermon on the parables in Matthew 13.44-52, we get a compelling vision for life in the Kingdom through Finding the Kingdom, Valuing the Kingdom, then ultimately Receiving the Kingdom. What might be in store for you when you Find, Value and Receive Jesus in all His fullness?
Daniel is referenced either implicitly or explicitly FOUR TIMES in Matthew 13. Why is that? What is Jesus doing? Why is Jesus so obsessed with Daniel? Listen in and find out!
The Kingdom of Heaven comes in unexpected ways. In the parables of Matthew 13:24-43, Jesus compares the Kingdom to the most backward, slow, small images imaginable. What Kingdom are you living in?
Jesus conceals His message of the Kingdom in parables - can you hear it?Jesus reveals His message of the Kingdom in parables - can you hear it?
When Jesus talks about his mother and brothers, what does he mean? What did family mean in the 1st century? How do Jesus' words shape our priorities? Listen in as we discuss Matthew 12.46-50.
In Matthew 12.38-45 Jesus confronts the Pharisees question: do they want Jesus? or do they want what Jesus can give them? So we ask ourselves: do we treat Jesus like a housemaid, cleaning up after us but not living with us? or do we want Jesus to live with us, eat with us, be with us?
In Matthew 12.22-37 Jesus argues with the Pharisees. But who are the Pharisees? Why were they so frustrated with Jesus? And what is the unforgivable sin? Listen in and discover!
"More critical than the gift is how we handle the gift." This is true of many things, including Sabbath. In Matthew 12, we find Jesus being criticized by the Pharisees for "breaking" the Sabbath. But what is the purpose of the Sabbath? What's God's heart behind the Sabbath? And what does it mean that Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath? Listen and learn!
Jesus invites us to take up his easy yoke, because he knows that the burdens of this world are heavy, but his yoke is easy. Will you humble yourself and relax into Jesus and his light burden? Listen as Nate Pritchard preaches through Matthew 11.25-30.
