Tips From An Insider - Part 2 of 2

Once a prisoner is tried, convicted and executed, there's no re-trial... ...usually! The Lord's accusers wanted Him to confess! But He turned them all into witnesses against themselves. Their trials are still pending, but the outcome doesn't look promising. We'll look into that today - after we finish up a thought we were chasing yesterday, of some questions left by Matthew's Gospel. Here's Pastor Jim in Matthew 27.

Tips From An Insider - Part 1 of 2

As Matthew begins to wrap up his case for Jesus being the Jewish Messiah, he leaves a few loose ends.... There are some head-scratchers in the final section of the Gospel according to Matthew, and Jim will point out a few of them - for example, that detail about other dead people coming out of their tombs at the Lord's resurrection. You may remember that, at the very beginning of our study, Jim taught us to look for the phrase, "When Jesus had finished" this or that - it indicates that we're entering a new section. Here's Part 1 of Tips from an Insider.

The Big One - Part 2 of 2

The "Last Days" will be experienced differently by Christians, unbelievers, and Jews. If we want to understand Jesus' information about the End Times, we have to keep track of who He's talking to. That seems pretty basic, doesn't it? But Christians can get careless about this. We're so eager to know what happens, and when - that we sometimes forget the question, "to whom?" We'll rejoin the sermon we started yesterday at Matthew 24:9, with Jim.

The Big One - Part 1 of 2

The Bible warns of future devastation, and most people don't take it all that seriously. But when science warns of coming catastrophe ... no, they don't pay much attention then, either. There were some people who did listen to insights about the end times: the Disciples. They wanted to know, "When will these things take place?" Pastor Jim will help us fit Jesus' answer into the prophetic timetable. We'll be in Matthew's Gospel, chapter 24.

Woe To You - Part 2 of 2

"Don't call anyone on earth, 'Father.' " That's simple enough, isn't it? As we've followed Jesus through the eyes of Matthew, weve seen just how much the Lord hates religious pride. There was to be none of that in His church, and to help illustrate the flat organizational structure He wanted, He banned the honorifics "Teacher," "Father" and "Master." Today we'll conclude a message from Matthew 23. Jim calls it Woe to You.

Woe To You - Part 1 of 2

It was the Question to End All Questions. Whose son is the Messiah; David's, or God's? Jesus' puzzler would expose the Pharisees' one dimensional understanding of God's Word. But make no mistake: this was no academic exercise, no battle of the Bible nerds. With this question the Lord would demolish the main accusation against Him: blasphemy. Here's Jim with some context for this confrontation.

Well What Do You Think? - Part 2 of 2

There was a "swordfight" in the Temple! The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God, and the learned theologians were about to wish they had never tried to cross swords with Jesus! When they attacked, He came right back at them, expertly wielding the Scriptures they thought they knew so well. Imagine watching this showdown for the heart of Israel. From yesterday's message we pick up in Matthew 21, verse 42.

Well What Do You Think? - Part 1 of 2

The 3 synoptic Gospels - Matthew, Mark and Luke - are similar. But today we'll look at some material unique to Matthew. As we re-live history from a Disciple's perspective, we've come through the gates of Jerusalem in the manner, and on the exact date, prophesied. Just a few days from now the religious leaders will take drastic steps to solve their "Jesus problem." Right now we live in the tension of this moment, between Palm Sunday and Good Friday. We'll be in Matthew 21, after Jim opens with a story.
