Vintage Grace's Podcast

Just as Jesus came to serve, by offering up his life, kingdom people experience and express the kingdom through service.

How the Kingdom of God prevails

Jesus is better and worth far more than anything this world has to offer. For us to experience the riches of treasure in Christ, we must trade any temporary idol we are holding onto, in order to receive the greatness of life He offers us.

Jesus is better and worth it far more than anything this world has to offer. For us to experience the riches of treasure in Christ, we must trade any temporary idol we are holding onto, in order to receive the greatness of life He offers us.

Jesus calls us beyond the values of our day to God’s original design intended for His glory and our joy, while also making clear, His grace is available to all of us who live in this broken world.

The mercy we remember shapes the mercy we give. The grace we have been given should reflect the grace we give. The forgiveness we have received should shape the forgiveness we offer.

Because of everything God has done to make us right with Him, we fight to maintain the unity He created.

God gave us a gospel-informed way to deal with conflict in the kingdom. Following it mirrors God's heart and produces healthy relationships in the
church.

Jesus reveals the magnitude of God's heart to us as a good Shepherd who relentlessly pursues His children, because EVERY person deeply matters to Him and NO ONE is beyond His reach.

He then calls His disciples (us!) to relentlessly pursue others with the same passion and same love that He pursued us.

Temptation promises life but delivers death.

So, we pray, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.”

In the Kingdom of God, greatness is not defined by worldly metrics, but by the
humble, desperate dependence of God's children, whom he deeply cares for.

Jesus is the true Son of God who humbly submits and willingly provides for us what we could never provide for ourselves so that we might live in the freedom and joy of being children of God.

Where your faith is pointed is a determining factor of the efficacy of your faith.

Jesus reveals His divine glory to His inner core-this is to strengthen their faith as their journey towards Jerusalem is about to get tough! May we see Jesus for who He really is (16:16) and trust what he says and does, knowing His heart even when the fog covers His hands - #GoodPlans For His Glory and our Good!

Jesus begins to tell the disciples about his death & resurrection & Peter doesn't take it well. Jesus uses this as an opportunity to turn their eyes from the things of man to the things of God, with a direct call to discipleship that requires a fundamental shift in affections.

The Most Important Question Ever
Jesus clarifies his identity as the Messiah, assuring His disciples that His mission is unstoppable. He confronts them with the defining question- Who do you say I am? There is nothing Jesus, Matthew, Peter, and even Drew and Jen want more FOR us & for you, than to see and receive Jesus!

Matthew highlights another conflict between Jesus and Pharisees/Sadducees where Jesus puts them in their place and foreshadows His resurrection at the same time. Jesus cautions his disciples against the harmful teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

JESUS: Jesus shows compassion toward groups of people that don't fit our preconceived notions.
MATTHEW: Jesus's mission is not just for Jewish people but for Gentiles as well.
US: Learning to love, look, and lead while we follow Jesus' ways and his words.
