What good is a fruit tree if it doesn’t produce any fruit? It’s not good — Jesus actually curses a fruit tree and kills it for not doing what its designed to do. (Mark 11:12) All that to say this — we learned that the first three soils are spiritually dirty and polluted. There was no purity to the soil—those soils are all contaminated. Those soils (aka people’s hearts) have a mixture of other loves and priorities in this l...

Today, we’ll study the Parable of the Sower/Seed/Soils. Now titles matter. Jesus has many titles — sermons have titles. Both are important. While it might be tempting to focus on the sower or even the seed — this parable’s main focus are the different types of soils. And the reason for that is because the sower and the seed remain the same throughout the entire parable. There is no variation between the farmer and his seed...

In every book of the OT, we’ll see a ‘Plan B.’ And when we flip to the Gospels, we see God’s Plan B regarding the redemption of our sin. The Scribes and Pharisees have officially rejected Jesus as their Messiah and Savior. And Jesus says, “Fine, I’ve got Plan B. Jesus now has a new focus on how to complete His mission. Now, what would you recommend if you had a suggestion for Jesus on how to complete His mission? I would s...

Today, we see that Jesus had human problems — relationship problems. Things are not well — all in the family. There is a family feud back in Nazareth. This strife has been brewing for probably about a year now. As you look at your own family — and the dysfunction in it — I pray that this passage will bring some relief to the problems you’re having. Because if Jesus had problems, you can guarantee we will too. What are thes...

Today, Jesus points us back to the miracle He performed in —verses 22-32. That’s where Jesus healed a blind and deaf man who was possessed by a demon. So this is His conclusion to that miraculous healing. Ultimately, today’s passage shows us the consequences of trying to be a good person.

Today, unfortunately, the religious people are at it again. Their language continues to reveal the wickedness in their hearts. The way Matthew puts his Gospel together, is like today is an interruption to what Jesus is trying to teach the Scribes and Pharisees. Next week, we’ll see Jesus conclude thoughts good fruit and good deeds. Today, however, Matthew really shows us the audacity and nerve of these religious people. Th...

Today, Jesus addresses the heart of the matter regarding blasphemy and sin. Because it’s always a matter of the heart. The Scribes and Pharisees were dangerously close to committing the unforgivable sin — because their hearts were not right. And if our hearts are not right — our mouths won’t be either. Jesus has much to say about our hearts and our tongues today. What does that mean for us?

Yes, God is infinite — but his offer of salvation is not. There is a divine timeline that we’re all on! Now, please know that these two verses that we’re studying this morning are not easy to understand at first glance. These verses have been severely misinterpreted and misunderstood. Because of their eternal consequences attached to them, it is critical to understand them correctly — and that’s what we will do today.

Have you ever been lied to? How’d it feel? What if the lie has eternal consequences? There are many lies about Jesus that people believe today — the biggest one today is that Jesus wants you to be happy, healthy, and wealthy. (Prosperity Gospel). That’s not true — Jesus wants us to be holy. And Jesus also wanted the Pharisees to be holy — but they refused to listen to the truth. Because the Scribes and Pharisees didn’t lis...

Today, Matt takes a break from all the drama of the Scribes and Pharisees and reveals how different Jesus truly is. He does this by taking us back to the OT prophet Isaiah. Matthew digs deep here because he wants us to know how different Jesus is from Israel’s spiritual leaders. While the Scribes and Pharisees were rude, demanding and harsh — The prophet Isaiah foretells with perfect accuracy the demeanor in which The Lord...

So we celebrate the birth of God’s son and the temporary death of God’s son. Both Christmas and Easter. In a world that, at best, puts up with this notion about Jesus being God and Savior of the world — And, at worst, the world openly mocks Jesus and denies His existence — except to take His holy name in vain. Let me ask you — what does it all mean for you today? What does it mean for the New Year? Eternity? Well, we’re go...

Last week, we saw Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath. Today, we see Him as the Lord of Mercy on the Sabbath Day. In other words, Matthew, our Gospel writer, proves Jesus’ claim from last week when he told the Pharisees — Matthew 12:6 — "I tell you that something greater than the temple is here." Matthew 12:8 — "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” How does Jesus prove that He is indeed Lord/Ruler/Master/Creator? What ...

One of the primary causes of opposition towards Jesus centers on observing the Sabbath Day. The Sabbath Day (Shabbat) is a day of rest. For the next two weeks, we’ll watch two events unfold—both happening on the prescribed day of rest. We’ll take each event one at a time. The first event occurred spontaneously, but the second was no accident. Three questions to consider as we begin: 1. How do these events impact your life ...

The mystery of salvation. We know that salvation is a gift of grace from God — by faith alone, by grace alone, through Christ alone — But we also know that we as sinners, have a responsibility to accept and believe the Gospel message. How are those two mysteries reconciled? Is it one more than the other? Lastly, we’ll see Jesus present the Gospel message and invite people unto salvation. Today’s passage is God’s Gospel pre...

Jesus ended with this last Sunday — Matthew 11:14/15 — And if you’re willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come. Let anyone who has ears listen. “Can you hear me now?” For those who had ears — they understood that since Jesus said John was the Elijah — that meant that Jesus Himself is God. And today, it is God Himself who explains with crystal clarity what it means to reject Him as Lord and Savior when the Gospe...

John the Baptizer is the most underrated man in Scripture. His official ministry was maybe six months long, yet as we’ll see, it was the most important ministry any prophet could ever do. Why’s that? — John wasn’t only a prophet. He was a prophet’s prophet — a super prophet. His role in introducing Jesus — was one of divine greatness. However, Jesus uses John the Baptizer as God’s standard of greatness. How does God’s stan...

Today, we start Matthew chapter eleven. Jesus provides a teachable moment for us all — regarding a subject that we all deal with nearly every single day. In some form or fashion, we deal with doubt. It’s one thing to doubt whether the Diamondbacks would win the World Series… It’s one thing to doubt whether so and so will win the election... But what does Scripture have to say about doubt? Do you sometimes doubt your own sa...

Today, we close with Jesus’ instructions for us as His disciples. Contrary to Jewish expectations, Jesus does not immediately bring peace or prosperity to the nation of Israel. There are many reasons for that, but today, Jesus presses into our decisions and priorities. How do our every day decisions with our jobs, retirements, hobbies, time and money impact your walk with the Lord Jesus Christ? Let’s find out!

Learning God’s Word is new for all of us — no matter how long we’ve been Christians. This means it’s not only difficult for us to wrap our brains around what God is saying at times, but it can also be unnerving at best and terrifying at worst. Speaking about being terrified — Today’s lesson is about fear. In today’s passage, Jesus tells His disciples not to be afraid three times, vv 26, 28, and 31. Why should we not be afr...

Jesus' instructions are both descriptive of what took place with the Apostles while others are prescriptive for us to replicate today for the Great Commission. Once again, it’s important to know the difference because if we get these backward, we’ll wind up in a cult of some sort. Jesus provides reasons why there will be persecution for the disciples and hatred for us today. And in our culture and time, that is a timely me...
