Render to Caesar

January 29, 2023 • Greg Pinkner • Matthew 22:15–22

This Sunday, Greg teaches from Matthew 22:15-22. In these verses, the Pharisees are trying to set a trap for Jesus to cause him to break the law so he will be deserving of murder. Through His ministry, Jesus communicates two realities about engaging the world: we, as kingdom citizens, should be involved in our world and community. Yet, the crucifixion of Christ shows that God works in ways we could never imagine, even when circumstances feel out of control.

More from Matthew: The Teachings of Jesus

Go

April 23, 2023 • Greg Pinkner • Matthew 28:16–20, Deuteronomy 32:48–52

This Sunday, Greg completes our teaching on Matthew and teaches from Matthew 28:16-20. He compares the mountains that Moses ascended to see the Promised Land and the mountain that the disciples ascended after Jesus' resurrection. When the Jews were living under the Law, Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land due to his sin against God. However, after Jesus' resurrection, He forgave those who doubted because they no longer lived under the law and received grace. He then called those who received His grace to go and make disciples.
