Matthew
Rob Lee: Stronger Than The Strong Man | Matthew 12:15-30
Whatever sin or evil you are wanting to overcome in your life, do it in the name of Jesus, not in your own strength. He is the strong man who will put you together again.
Brent Smith: Lord of the Sabbath | Matthew 12:1-14
The world and the devil would have us work even while we rest. Jesus would have us rest, even while we work. That’s how we can live out the Sabbath today. In all we do, rest in the work completed by Jesus, rest in the grace provided by Jesus, and experience the blessing of Sabbath.
Brent Smith: Yoked To Jesus | Matthew 11:20-30
Christians are called to yoke themselves to Jesus. It’s not always going to be easy, we’re not promised a life of comfort. But we’re to learn of Him and see that life with Him is far greater than anything apart from Him.
Brent Smith: What Have You Come To See? | Matthew 11:1-19
There are times we can begin doubting who Jesus is because we’re basing our conclusions on our own experiences when things aren’t going our way. We have an unhealthy expectation of what we think Jesus should be doing for us. But as you put your faith in Him, you will experience His goodness and life-giving grace.
Cole Smith: Commit To Following Jesus | Matthew 10:34-42
Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. Though Jesus’ message is one of peace and forgiveness, it will naturally cause division between those who love Him and those who reject Him.
Daniel Gubiotti: A Committed Life To A Good Master | Matthew 10:24-33
Jesus calls us to be godly servants who follow after His voice. Just as Jesus was persecuted, so His people will be persecuted. It may be a difficult road, but it will be one filled with blessing and seeing the lost saved through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Brent Smith: Know Before You Go | Matthew 10:11-23
Jesus calls His disciples to trust God for a number of things because the mission is not always going to be easy. As they preach the Gospel, they will face persecution from those who hate Jesus.
Brent Smith: Called And Sent | Matthew 9:35-10:10
Jesus saw the people as sheep with no shepherd. The religious leaders should have been shepherding them, but they were like wolves preying upon them. The Good Shepherd was now in their midst, but the people needed to be aware of this and see their need for Him.
Brent Smith: Healing In His Wings | Matthew 9:18-34
Jesus has the power to heal and save. It’s not great faith that’s needed, it’s just simple faith in a great God.
Brent Smith: New Wine And Old Wineskins | Matthew 9:14-17
Jesus came to bring something new, not patch up the old. The law had its purpose, there’s still value in it today, but once Jesus came, He became our righteousness. Therefore, the law regarding righteousness is now fulfilled.
Brent Smith: Jesus Came To Save Sinners | Matthew 9:1-13
Apart from Christ, you are crippled in the paralysis of sin. But when you choose to put your trust in Jesus and activate faith, He restores you and makes you whole!
Brent Smith: Discipleship, Difficulties and Demons | Matthew 8:14-34
Jesus simply asks His disciples, ‘Why are you fearful?’ Now we can all think of at least a few reasons why fear might get the better of us. But though the storm is raging, Jesus is at rest. With Jesus in the boat, we don’t need to fear! Though trials will come, He will not let us drown. We need to take confidence in that.
