Jesus on His Terms

June 30, 2024 • Jeff Collins • Matthew 16

Opposition to Jesus grows. The Pharisees, together with their rivals ,the Sadducees. ask for "one more sign" from Jesus to prove He is who He says He is. Rather than comply, He challenges their inclination. Once alone with His disciples, He asks "who am I?" Peter, responds "The Christ". Peter responses as he does, because God revealed that to him. We declare Jesus as Christ because the Lord is at work in our hearts today.

Do you believe Jesus is worth sharing?

These final verses in Matthew are intended to awaken a desire in us to make disciples for Jesus. Matthew is telling the original Jewish audience, and us, that King Jesus is Lord over all people groups. This commissioning of His ambassadors has efficacy because Jesus has all authority.

Have you submitted to the absolute authority of Jesus?

September 15, 2024 • Jason McNutt • Matthew 28:1–15

Today, religion has become a matter of personal preference, it is driven by feelings not absolute truth. This is dangerous and irresponsible. Christianity is based on the truth that Jesus was resurrected from death and now reigns over His Kingdom. Therefore, we are compelled to repent of sin and submit to His authority.

How can God love me?

September 8, 2024 • Jason McNutt • Matthew 26, Matthew 27

The climax of the Biblical story takes place at the crucifixion. The cross is the key to understanding how a sovereign, righteous and just God can forgive rebellious people without abandoning His character. King Jesus bore the consequences of our sin. In doing so our sin is forgiven without being excused.
