Episode 195: Matthew 9:35-10:1 | The Lord of the Harvest 47:31

19h ago47:31

47:31

For the past year and a half — 70 sermons — Matthew has directed our attention to the person and the work of Jesus Christ. But like a great player who becomes a coach, Matthew shifts our focus to how Jesus trains His disciples for ministry. In Matthew 10, we’ll see how the work of Jesus expands through replication. Today, we’ll learn Jesus’ model o…

Episode 194: Matthew 9:27-34 | Our Response to Jesus 45:11

45:11

Today, Matthew provides two more miracles for us to witness. The interesting thing about these miracles is that Matt is the only one who writes about them. The other Gospel writers don’t. These particular miracles don’t have any details. As we’ll find out—Matthew only reports the facts. So one of the questions we must ask ourselves is, “What’s Matt…

Today, we’re going to see Jesus’ grace in action by meeting two new characters. The first is a wealthy, educated, and well-known man in the Jewish community. The second is a woman, a Gentile outcast. As different as these two people are, we will learn some striking similarities. Similarities not only between them — but also similarities with us. Wh…

So John's disciples watched Jesus and His disciples very carefully. And evidently, Jesus forgiving a tax collector and partying with him and his tax collecting buddies — pushed them over a religious and moral boundary that they set up for themselves. Their offense leads to a question about fasting — but it's not really about fasting. Their question…

Today we see the crescendo of miracles — Matthew has presented an ascending type of authority — and that authority is the forgiveness of our sins. Now Today, Matthew paint's the picture of what the Jews look like. If the Gentiles have no hope to live a healthy life on Earth and no hope for salvation after they die, then what's it look like for the …

Repentance brings us to today's passage. Today's text is part of the sequel to last week's story. After Jesus quiets the storm, He and the disciples reach their destination on the other side of the lake. But as soon as they roll up, something unexpected and terrifying happens. Jesus is met by two demon-possessed men. Now demons can't repent—only pe…

If Matthew's Gospel were a symphony, today's passage would be in an interlude. Matthew has revealed three miracles back to back, and now he provides a short break from the action because, after this break, Jesus provides three more miracles before the next interlude. And it's within this interlude that Matthew gives us a short synopsis of two conve…

Today, we see Jesus perform another miracle— but it's quite different. So far Jesus healed a leper and saved the life of a Centurion’s servant. But today, Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law.

So we have two gates and two roads. We have two teachers that bear two very different types of fruit. Today, Jesus introduces us to two different types of people.
