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.

The Betrayal of Jesus

March 26, 2023 • Greg Pinkner • Matthew 26:47–56, Matthew 26:1–5, Matthew 26:14–16

This Sunday, Greg teaches from Matthew 26. In these verses following the Olivet Discourse, he looked into the history and culture of the time to give perspective on Judas' betrayal of Jesus and how easily we can betray Him.

Worship or Betrayal

March 19, 2023 • JC Neely • Matthew 26:6–14

This Sunday, JC teaches from Matthew 26:6-14. He spoke about how Jesus is not uninterested in the unimportant and that we should not let our pasts define us, but let it tell the story of what Christ has done in our lives. We need to look at our lives and ask ourselves if it is beautiful, as Christ sees it, or wasted. We need to look at our relationship with Christ and ask if we are more concerned about it being useful or beautiful. And we also need to ask ourselves if we really rejoice in the power of the cross and if we see betrayal or beauty.
