The Great Commandment: Matt. 22:34-40

October 8, 2023 • Cole Feix • Matthew 22:34–40, Mark 12:28–34

The Pharisees were after Jesus. In this last stretch of the Gospel of Matthew, the Pharisees double their efforts to trap Jesus in his words. In response to a lawyer's question, Jesus gave what has come to be one of the most famous passages of Scripture, the great commandment. Here, we find all of what is required of us summed up in one command: to love God.

The Great Commission: Matt. 28:16-20

November 26, 2023 • Cole Feix • Matthew 28:16–20

In the final scene of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus commissions his disciples to make disciples of all the nations. This command comes as a culmination of the Gospel but also of many themes in the Bible. Every believer is called into the work of building the kingdom, evangelizing the nations, and teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded. The gospel ends the way it started, with a promise that God will be with us always.

God's Great Story: Matt. 28:1-10

November 19, 2023 • Grant Humphreys • Matthew 28:1–10

Before the world began, God was telling a story. When he created the universe, his space and our space completely overlapped, but when sin entered the world, we were separated from God. So God sent his Son Jesus Christ to live a perfect life, save us from sin, and reunite Heaven and earth. Because of the resurrection of Jesus, we look forward to the day when we are reunited with God perfectly. Until then, we live and pray in for things on earth to be as in heaven.

Communion: Matthew 26:17-29

November 5, 2023 • Cole Feix • 1 Corinthians 10:14–22, 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, Matthew 26:17–29

In the Last Supper, Jesus does more than just celebrate the Passover. He re-interprets this meal for all time and invites us to pull up a set. But what are we doing at this table? Every time we celebrate communion, we are committing, communing, and commemorating Jesus Christ.
