Brent Smith: Confessing Jesus As The Christ | Matthew 16:13-23

Brent Smith: Seeking A Sign or Trusting The Saviour? | Matthew 16:1-12
We’re living in exciting times where Biblical prophecy is unfolding before us. We need to be discerning of the signs of the times around us. However, we’re not to be seeking after signs in order to bolster our faith.

Brent Smith: Tradition vs Truth | Matthew 15:1-20
The Pharisees were paying lip service to God but it was meaningless because it wasn’t coming from a heart of genuine worship and honor. Our Christian life in Christ is about the heart. Keep being renewed in the Word every day and let it cleanse your heart and lead you in His holiness.
Brent Smith: Walking On Water | Matthew 14:22-36

Brent Smith: Parables of Great Worth | Matthew 13:44-58
We continue looking at the rest of the Kingdom Parables as we finish up Matthew 13. We’ll look at the last 4 of these Kingdom Parables today and we see with the first 3 that the kingdom will be made up of 3 groups of people: Israel, the Church, and Gentile nations.
Brent Smith: Tares, Mustard Seed and Leaven Parables | Matthew 13:24-43

Many believed that when the Messiah came, then the Kingdom would obviously accompany Him. But Jesus is teaching that things are going to look very different than what was expected.
Brent Smith: Parables And Paradoxes | Matthew 13:1-23
Chapter 13 sets out to show the mystery of the Kingdom of God through these parables. He’s revealing a mystery – something that was once concealed but is now revealed. And the mystery is that Jesus is going to be at work during this interim period, this postponement of the kingdom, and it’s going to look very different than what people may have previously imagined.
Brent Smith: Opposition To Opportunity | Matthew 12:38-50
Seeking after and relying on signs to build your faith is shaky ground. Our faith doesn’t rely on these things. It relies on the solid, lasting Word of God which will keep you balanced and secure.
