Podcasts about 'the kingdom

Today,as we look at Luke chapter 22, we need to remember the setting behind thischapter, focusing on what was happening in Jerusalem during the week ofPassover, what we call Passion Week. Therewas tremendous excitement this week in Jerusalem as the Passover was takingplace. Over 100,000, perhaps 300,000 or more, Jewish pilgrims had come to thecity. They had been looking for the Messiah for centuries and were expectingthat Jesus, who performed miracles and proclaimed Himself to be the Messiah,might be the one. John the Baptist had proclaimed that He was the Messiah, andmany had repented and followed John. After John the Baptist was killed, Jesuscontinued His ministry of teaching the people, proclaiming the message of theKingdom, healing people and doing miracles, for a total period of three and ahalf years. Jesus Christ was now back in Jerusalem during this week forPassover Week knowing He would be sacrificed as the Lamb of God to take awayour sins. TheJews were excited, but the Romans were scared and worried, thinking this mightbe a time for an uprising. This is likely why Pilate and Herod were both inJerusalem, though Herod would normally be at Caesarea in his palace, and Pilatewould be relaxing in Tiberias. As Roman rulers over Jerusalem and the Jews atthe time, they were present, knowing there could be a riot or uprising. Theywere responsible to Rome to keep peace in the land. As you can imagine, it wasa very electric time. Inthe first six verses, Judas went to the chief priest, elders, scribes,Pharisees, and religious leaders, making a deal to betray Jesus secretly. Theywere afraid that an open betrayal would cause issues with the people, and theyknew the Romans needed to be involved to make it appear as though the Romans,not the religious leaders, were responsible for putting Christ to death. Thereligious leaders were already struggling with their integrity andaccountability, especially since Jesus had publicly called them hypocrites. “Thencame the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb must be killed” (v 7). We believe this day wasThursday, as the Jewish day begins in the evening. (The evening of this daywould have been considered Friday, the day the Passover Lamb would be killed,and the same day Jesus would be crucified.) Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Goand prepare the Passover for us that we may eat." Jesus already knewwho Judas was. He knew from the beginning that Judas was a thief and wouldbetray Him. Jesus knew Judas had already gone to the chief priest and betrayedHim, and He knew a plot was underway to have Him crucified. He knew becausethat's why He came to Jerusalem; He knew what awaited Him there. So,He sent Peter and John secretly, because if Judas knew, he might have hadpeople come to arrest Jesus in the upper room. Only Peter and John knew theplan. When they asked Him where to prepare, He said, "Behold, whenyou've entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water;follow him into the house where he enters." This was unusual becausemen typically didn't carry pitchers of water; women did. Seeing a man with apitcher would stand out, signaling, "That's the guy." He must havebeen a believer. They were to say to the master of the house, "TheTeacher says to you, 'Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover withMy disciples?'" This man, likely a believer already preparing for thePassover, would show them a large, furnished upper room. They went and found itjust as He had said and prepared the Passover. Peterand John purchased the Passover lamb, took it to the chief priests, had itsacrificed and roasted, and waited in the upper room on Thursday evening forJesus and the rest of the disciples to come. Jesus knew what was going on, yetHe still gave His life as a ransom for you and me. Oh, what a Savior! What aSavior!Godbless!

Memorial of Saint Barnabas, ApostleMatthew 10:7-13Jesus said to the Twelve:"As you go, make this proclamation:'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give."

Part 31 The Resurrection of Christ – Foundation of the Gospel of theKingdom (1 Corinthians 15:1–8)In this teaching, we uncover why the resurrection is not just a doctrinal detail but the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Paul reminds the Corinthians that the gospel he received is rooted in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings - and fulfilled in Messiah Yeshua.Let's explore the resurrection as the central event confirming the New Covenant.How Paul and the apostles preached the same Gospel as Yeshua-centered on the Kingdom, covenant restoration, and resurrection power.The connection between Exodus 32, the golden calf, and the shift from a national Melchizedek priesthood to a temporary Levitical system.How Yeshua restores the original priestly order, fulfilling Psalm 110:4 and Hebrews 5–8.Why the resurrection is our assurance of victory, identity, and eternal purpose.Resurrection is proof of the Messiah's identity (Romans 1:4) and the ratification of the New Covenant (Hebrews 7).Covenant-breaking at Sinai led to the establishment of the Levitical priesthood, but Yeshua restores the Melchizedek priesthood.The apostles didn't preach a shallow gospel. They preached the restoration of the kingdom, fulfillment of the covenant, and the Messiah's reign.Embrace the full gospel—not a reduced version.Live in the power of the resurrection.Step into your priestly identity in Messiah, restored and renewed.This message is a call to return to the apostolic, covenant-based gospel thattransforms hearts and nations.

41Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, "If youhad known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for yourpeace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.  As I mentioned yesterday, I'm in Kingsland, Georgia. Iprerecorded this video for you, and I trust it'll be a blessing. This morning,I'll be attending a worship service with Edith at Kings Bay Submarine Base to hear my son Nathan,a Navy chaplain, speak. Let'scontinue in Luke chapter 19:28-48, which take place on what we call Palm Sundaymorning, and in verses 35-44, Jesus is entering Jerusalem, riding a colt. Thecrowd comes out to meet Him, proclaiming, “Blessed is the King who comes in thename of the Lord.” They are singing praises, throwing palm branches and clothesin front of the colt Jesus is riding. The Pharisees criticize, saying, “Rebukethese people.” Then, in verse 41, as Jesus draws near, He sees the city andweeps over it. Ican picture this, having been there many times. I can imagine seeing Jesus comingdown the Mount of Olives with a clear view of Jerusalem. The crowd isrejoicing, but Jesus is weeping. In verse 42, He says, “If you had known,even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! Butnow they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when yourenemies will build an embankment around you, surround you, and close you in onevery side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; andthey will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know thetime of your visitation.” Jesusgoes from this rejoicing and celebration of the people, to weeping overJerusalem. No matter where He looks, He finds a cause to weep. Looking back, Hesees how the nation wasted its opportunities to receive Him as the Messiah,ignorant of the time of His visitation. Looking within, He sees spiritualignorance and blindness in the people's hearts.  Theyshould have known who He was. God gave them His Word with all the prophecies concerningHis first coming and had also sent John the Baptist to prepare the way. Jesus Himselfhad been preaching for three and a half years for the nation to repent because theKingdom of Heaven was at hand. And by His miracles and healings and power overthe demons, the elements of nature, manifesting Himself to be the Son of God. Lookingaround, Jesus sees religious activity that accomplishes little. The temple hadbecome a den of thieves, the religious leaders were out to kill Him, and thoughthe city was filled with pilgrims celebrating Passover, their hearts were heavywith sin and life's burdens.  Lookingahead, Jesus weeps because He sees the terrible judgment coming. In AD 70,about 40 years after His death, the Romans would come, and after a 143-daysiege, they would kill over 600,000 Jews, take thousands captive, and destroythe temple and city. Why? Because the people did not know God had visited them.As Scripture says, “He came to His own, and His own received Him not.” Thepeople are rejoicing, but Jesus is looking within, around, and ahead. I believeHe's looking into our hearts today, too. What does He see in our lives thatwould cause Him to weep if we don't believe, trust, and are not living for Himas we should?  Whata powerful passage. Jesus sees the crowd celebrating, calling Him King, yet Heweeps because He knows the reality of what will happen. He knows in a few daysthis same crowd will be yelling “crucify Him” and have Him nailed to a cross todie. Jesus know that will reject Him and will not trust Him to be their Messiahand Savior. MayGod give us grace today to bring a smile to the face of Jesus as we live toglorify His name in everything that we say and do!

How did Saudi Arabia come to host leaders from the US, Russia and Ukraine for peace talks? Just a few years ago, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was publicly identified as the man who ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. As a result, he was referred to as a pariah by former President Joe Biden. So, how did MBS go from pariah to peacemaker?Jonny Dymond speaks to journalist Jonathan Rugman, producer of the BBC documentary 'The Kingdom' about the life of Mohammed bin Salman.Producers: Richard Moran, Tom Kavanagh, Mhairi MacKenzie and Eleanor SlySound engineers: Mike RegaardAssistant editor: Richard Fenton-SmithSenior news editor: China Collins

Jesus went around to all the towns and villages,teaching in their synagogues,proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom,and curing every disease and illness.At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for thembecause they were troubled and abandoned,like sheep without a shepherd.Then he said to his disciples,"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;so ask the master of the harvestto send out laborers for his harvest."Then he summoned his Twelve disciplesand gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them outand to cure every disease and every illness.Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus,"Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'Cure the sick, raise the dead,cleanse lepers, drive out demons.Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give."

From the responsorial psalm: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He tells the number of the stars; he calls each by name. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 9:27-31) Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, "Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give." Jesus sends out the Twelve to do what he has been doing around all the towns and villages: teaching, proclaiming the Gospel, and curing all manner of disease and illness. Moved to pity at the sight of the crowds, Jesus sees the need to give authority to the Twelve "to cure every disease and illness" and to drive out unclean spirits. This is the same Lord, responsive to every one of our needs, that Isaiah tells us about in the first reading: "The Lord will give you the bread you need and the water for which you thirst." God, help me today see in others what Jesus saw in the crowds. His reason for compassion was because "they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd." Help me be obedient to Jesus' command to go to the lost sheep without counting the cost. Jesus models Christian discipleship not only for the apostles but for all who hear his call to remain faithful to the Church in proclaiming the kingdom. With your authority, Lord, through baptism and the sacraments, give me the grace to proclaim in my words and actions that your kingdom is now at hand. Saint Ambrose, pray for us! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lectio-divina-daily/support

When Jesus said, "I will build my Church" (Matthew 16:18), He envisioned a vibrant Kingdom movement that would thrive through the collaboration of different roles within the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Together, these diverse gifts would work in harmony to foster growth and extend His influence in the world.The Kingdom of God thrives on principles of multiplication and nurture, beautifully illustrated by the complementary roles of apostolic and pastoral ministry. Throughout His ministry, Jesus embodied this dual focus—venturing into new territories to share the message of the Kingdom (apostolic function) while also showing deep compassion for His followers (pastoral function). His instruction to "seek first the Kingdom of God" (Matthew 6:33) resonates with both the broad outreach of apostolic work and the supportive nature of pastoral care.Within this Kingdom framework, apostolic leaders can effectively serve as pastors while maintaining their primary calling to expand God's Kingdom. Just as Jesus trained the twelve while continuing His broader Kingdom mission, modern apostolic pastors can shepherd a local congregation while focusing on raising up Kingdom-minded leaders who will further expand God's territory.The Kingdom principle of multiplication appears throughout Scripture, from God's first command to "be fruitful and multiply" to Jesus's parables about Kingdom growth. An apostolic pastor embodies this principle by developing what Scripture calls the "fivefold ministry" – apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (Ephesians 4:11-12). These gifts were given specifically "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ," ultimately advancing God's Kingdom purposes.When Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God being like a mustard seed that grows into a great tree (Matthew 13:31-32), He was illustrating a fundamental Kingdom principle that applies to apostolic-pastoral ministry. The local church, under apostolic-pastoral leadership, becomes like that mustard tree – firmly rooted in one place while providing far-reaching influence and impact for the Kingdom.The Book of Acts provides a powerful model of this Kingdom-focused leadership approach. The apostles, while maintaining connection with their home base in Jerusalem, invested heavily in developing local leadership teams throughout the expanding Kingdom territory. They understood that Kingdom advancement required both the pioneering spirit of apostolic ministry and the stabilizing influence of pastoral care.This Kingdom-centric model becomes particularly effective when the apostolic pastor focuses on developing teams that understand and operate according to Kingdom principles. These aren't merely functional leadership teams; they're Kingdom representatives equipped to demonstrate and declare the reality of God's reign in their spheres of influence. As Jesus sent out His disciples with the mandate to "preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand'" (Matthew 10:7), so apostolic pastors send out equipped leaders to extend Kingdom influence.The development of pastor/elder teams takes on new significance when viewed through a Kingdom lens. These teams aren't just providing practical care; they're establishing outposts of Kingdom authority and influence within the local community. They become stewards of Kingdom culture, demonstrating the values and principles of God's reign in tangible ways.In practical terms, an apostolic pastor operating with Kingdom focus structures their ministry to reflect Heaven's priorities. Their preaching and teaching emphasize Kingdom principles, their leadership development programs focus on Kingdom values, and their strategic planning aligns with Kingdom purposes. Every aspect of ministry becomes an opportunity to advance God's reign and influence.The Kingdom principle of...

Eph. 2:19-22

Three-time Archibald nominee Marikit Santiago's 'The Kingdom, the power' pays tribute to her parents and the life they built for their family and the life she is building with her own bi-racial family as a Filipina-Australian artist. - Ang 'The Kingdom, the Power' ni Marikit Santiago, na tatlong beses nang nominado para sa Archibald, ay isang pagpupugay sa kanyang mga magulang at sa buhay na itinayo nila para sa kanilang pamilya, at ang buhay na kanyang itinatatag kasama ang kanyang sariling bi-racial na pamilya bilang isang Filipina-Australian na artist.

Gospel Matthew 9:35–10:1, 5a, 6-8 Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." Then he summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, "Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.” ReflectionThis gospel is usually used when we are praying for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. But it would be a mistake to think that that is the only ones that are called to really shepherd the flock. We are all given this incredible authority from God to be an instrument of healing and giving direction and life to those who are in darkness and need some help. What an incredible, important gift to remember, everyone has this role and whatever we will be wanting to give, we will be receiving the authority that one has when one speaks about spiritual things, is always going to flow from the fact that they have received the gift. They know what it is because they have found it. That's the heart of what it means to have authority when you are taking care of those that you are called to care for. Closing PrayerFather, awaken in us. We know that is the prayer of your son. Jesus when he walked this earth, that there would be those who would come after Him and do His work. Help us to become that. Help us to take seriously this obligation and this privilege of being the one who resonates your healing power to those that we come in contact with. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Philippians 4:6–9

GospelMatthew 10:7-15 Jesus said to his Apostles: "As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words— go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. ReflectionWhen Jesus sends out his apostles, He gives them great advice. And we should take that advice into our own lives as we proclaim the Kingdom of God, a way of life that brings life. We are not to offer it with any expectations. It is not up to us to make someone receive it. It is simply ours to give as it was given to us. Closing PrayerFather, as we do your work, it is hard for us not to get engaged too deeply in our own ego and our own needs and wants. Bless us with the freedom to be true instruments of sharing a gifts that we have received. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

GospelMatthew 10:1-7 Jesus summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'”ReflectionIt's easy to see in this passage the beginning of the church. 12 men were disciples. Now they become apostles and they're sent forth to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven. And you see in Jesus a great concern for those who are most in need of the message that He longs to share with them. He asked them to go to the house of Israel. His family, His people that had not been fed by the temple. Closing PrayerFather, awaken in us a role that we have as apostles, teachers, those that open others to the truth of the gospel. We all proclaim the Kingdom of God, give us courage and give us the understanding we need to accomplish this task. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Wednesday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary TimeMt 10:1-7Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 5:33-42 – How Will People Know We Follow Jesus?Oaths33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill tothe Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it isGod's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the GreatKing. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you needto say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. [a]Eye for Eye38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' [b] 39 But I tell you, do not resist anevil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyonewants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile,go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wantsto borrow from you.“I say to you” – divine authority and Kingdom ethics+ Jesus is again drawing out the real significance of the Old Testament law33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill tothe Lord the vows you have made.' “Do not break your oath” – alludes to:Leviticus 19:122 “‘Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.Numbers 30:22 When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must notbreak his word but must do everything he said.- Do not perjure yourself…don't lie+ “…to swear” does not mean to curse or use bad words, but to affirm the truth of a statement whilecalling on God to judge oneself if it is in fact untrue.+ Jesus is basically saying “don't swear at all”+ TO CLARIFY: There are oaths that are consistent with God's character and demands even in the NewTestament2 Corinthians 1:1818 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”Galatians 1:2020 I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.+ Given the elaborate hierarchy of laws of first century Judaism on oaths, Jesus declares that it would bebest to avoid them altogether…not because of the commandment, but because of their traditions.+ The Lord's name was not to be used falsely, so the Jews developed a “theology of oaths”34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, forit is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head,for you cannot make even one hair white or black. + Basically, Jewish leaders viewed swearing by “heaven', “earth”, “Jerusalem” or one's head asless binding than swearing “by God” – they weren't swearing by God, so they were releasingthemselves from the promise they were making- Jesus responds by stressing that each of these items belongs to God in an importantway, so that the conventional Jewish distinctions are not genuine.Isaiah 66:166 This is what the LORD says:“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?- Heaven is God's throne – earth is His footstool – Jerusalem is His city and He numbersthe hairs of our heads and chooses their color.Matthew 23:16-2216 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyonewho swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.' 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: thegold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it meansnothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.' 19 You blind men! Whichis greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altarswears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by theone who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one whosits on it.+ The Jews apparently reasoned that, because a lien could not be put on the temple or altar,then oaths invoking those objects were meaningless. Jesus maintains that the temple, gold, altarand gifts all point to God and remain equally sacred – so oaths taken in their name remainequally binding.+ All that being said, No promise can ever be made, no word ever spoken without it being done in thepresence of God+ Jesus is pointing out their deep-seated dishonesty – their lies masquerading as theology (whoa)THE POINT IS: Let your YES mean YES and your NO mean NO. We should not have to call on God towitness what we say because God is watching us and present as we speak, knowing our hearts throughand through. Jesus' followers should be people whose words are so characterized by integrity thatothers need no formal assurance of their truthfulness in order to trust them.37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. [a]+ Jesus said that anything beyond straightforward honesty comes ‘from the evil one''+ Do you start sentences with “to be honest”, or “honestly” to drive home your point? Whatdoes that say about the rest of the time?We know now what this is saying…what is this NOT saying?1. This is NOT talking about oaths in a court of law. It's highly unlikely that this is what Jesus was talkingabout. He was obviously prepared to speak under oath during His trial:Matthew 26:63-6463 But Jesus remained silent.The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, theSon of God.”64 “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Mansitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” [a]+ When He was under oath, Jesus broke the silence He had maintained in the earlier part of theproceedings as though recognizing the binding nature of being put under oath.2. This is NOT talking about being “brutally honest” letting your venting, attitude, irritation, jealousy andarrogance masquerade as actual honesty.+ “I just call it like it is. That's the way I am”. “The truth hurts”… Don't confuse honesty withbeing a unkind. Christians can be really good at this. Our arrogant frankness masquerading ashonesty38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' [b] “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth…” – Jesus is alluding to:Exodus 21:23-2423 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand,foot for foot,Deuteronomy 19:20-2120 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be doneamong you. 21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.+ These were speaking of justice, not retaliation. In fact, it was done to limit, and if necessary, restrainretaliation.+ Christian kindness should transcend even straightforward retribution3. In light of prevailing ethical thought, Jesus contrasts radically with most others of His day in stressingthe need to decisively break the natural chain of evil action and reaction that characterizes humanrelationships.39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them theother cheek also. + “resist” often used in a legal context+ Jesus' teaching similar to 1 Corinthians 6:7 against not taking fellow believers to court, thoughit could be translated “do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you”+ But we are to resist evil:James 4:77 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.Striking a person on the right cheek suggests a backhanded slap from a typically right-handed aggressorand was a characteristic Jewish form of insult.+ The only legal recourse against this insult is to take someone to court…similar to libel ordefamation of character+ Jesus teaches us not to trade such insults, even if it means receiving more( In NO way does it require Christians to subject themselves or others to physical danger orabuse)+ Don't make your “rights” the basis for your relationships with others. Jesus is teaching us thatstanding on OUR rights and seeking to have OUR dignity reaffirmed is not the Christian responseto an insult.+ Will anyone be won for the Kingdom by your retaliation?...by standing for your rights?40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. + Clearly limited to a legal context. If a coat was taken as a financial pledge, it had to be returnedby nightfall, because for some, it served as both clothing and bedding.- One must be willing to give as collateral an outer garment – more than what the law couldrequire, which was just an inner garment (Exodus 22:26-27)Exodus 22:2626 If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset, 27 because that cloak is the onlycovering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I amcompassionate.+ Coat and shirt are contemporary parallels to cloak and tunic+ Jesus' point is this: when His followers meet with opposition and persecution, they should not standon their legal rights. Instead, where the sin of others abounds, grace in them should abound much more.In that, we will be like Him.41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. + Referring to the Roman conscription of private citizens to help carry military equipment for RomansoldiersThe soldiers didn't have the right to make someone go more than a mile. Jesus is saying to do itvoluntarily.+ Simon of Cyrene – forced to carry Jesus' cross+ The Jews hated this practice because it publically illustrated the humiliation of being asubjugated people.+ Jesus' point here is that the Christian does the unexpected, because grace makes him or herseek to win others by love rather than retaliate on the basis of rights.4. Each of these commands require Jesus followers to act more generously than what the letter of thelaw demanded – sometimes literally “going the extra mile”+ Not only are we called to reject and avoid retaliation, but to positively work for the good ofthose with whom we would otherwise be at odds.42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.+ Jesus presumes that the needs are genuine, and commands us not to ignore them.+ This was not a legal dutyRomans 13:1010 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.+Only when we show love, grace and sacrifice for the sake of others, will they see what the God-givenmeaning of the law really is…the “but I tell you”…Then, they will understand that our citizenship is in theKingdom of HeavenBE DIFFERENT than what the world would teach and expectBE SELFLESS (think of your SELF less)BE HONEST without being unkindBE KINDBE OBVIOUS+ The works of the flesh disqualify us for the Kingdom of God because they break God's law, but there isno law against the fruit of the Spirit, those things whose opposites the law forbids.Galatians 5:22-2322 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.Matthew 7:15-2015 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they areferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes fromthornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad treebears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear goodfruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, bytheir fruit you will recognize them.+ Way too many Christians who are not demonstrating the fruit of the SpiritBy our fruit, people will know us. - They can trust us when we speak.Matthew 5:33-42 – How will people know we follow Jesus? 07/24/22Matthew 5:33-42Matthew 5:33Leviticus 19:12Numbers 30:22 Corinthians 1:18Galatians 1:20Matthew 5:34-36Isaiah 66:1Matthew 23:16-22Matthew 5:37Matthew 26:63-64Matthew 5:38Exodus 21:23-24Deuteronomy 19:20-21Matthew 5:39James 4:7Matthew 5:40Exodus 22:26Matthew 5:41Matthew 5:42Romans 13:10Galatians 5:22-23Matthew 7:15-20

This week Associate Pastor Matt Willis launches a series called 'The Kingdom of Heaven is Like...' This series explores the parables Jesus taught which explain the Kingdom of Heaven, recorded for us in Matthew's Gospel.  Matt unpacks the term "Kingdom of Heaven", covers why Jesus taught in Parables and then narrows in on the Parable of the Sower sometimes know as Soils, looking at the soils we have in our own lives.Matt has encouraged us to consider the state of the soil of our hearts, to pray about it and to remove any rocks and weeds, chase away any birds and cultivate good soil.   We pray that you were challenged, inspired and encouraged and that God used this message to draw you closer to Him, to increase your faith and make you more like Jesus. God bless you today.We'd love for you to join us for one of our services this weekend. For more information on upcoming services please visit www.gymeabaptist.org.auAlso, be sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up with all we are doing. 

The Rev'd Dr. Sarah Coakley and the Rev'd Dr. Richard Hays discuss 'The Kingdom and the Church in the New Testament'. This is the first of five sessions of "What is the Good of the Church?, where Sarah Coakley examines afresh the fundamental question of how we should think of, imagine, and hope for the life of the Church today. The focus is on the effects of the global pandemic and of intensified political and ecclesiastical divisions in the Anglican Communion and within the Episcopal Church itself.

In this video I quoted the well known Dispensationalist teacher Clarence Larkin and I used his own words from his book and this is what he said: “The word "Gospel" means "Good News," and is so familiar that its application is supposed to be uniform. When, therefore, we read of The Gospel of the KINGDOM, The Gospel of the GRACE OF GOD, The GLORIOUS GOSPEL, and The EVERLASTING GOSPEL, It is taken for granted that they all refer to one and the same thing. But this is not true.” In the video I made it very clear that there is only ONE Gospel of Jesus Christ and that is the “gospel of the Kingdom” that he preached and which he declared would be preached as a witness to all nations before the END would come. Mr Clarence Larkin stated otherwise. He went on to say the following: 1. THE GOSPEL OF "THE KINGDOM." Matt. 24:14. “This is the "Good News" that God purposes to set up a Kingdom on this earth over which David's Son, JESUS, shall reign, as prophesied in Luke 1:32-33. Two preachings of this Gospel are mentioned, one past, beginning with the ministry of John the Baptist, and preached by Jesus and His Disciples, but it ended with the rejection of Jesus as King. This Gospel is to be preached again after the Church is taken out. It will be the fulfillment of Matt. 24:14, where it says "This Gospel of 'THE KINGDOM' shall be preached in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come." This has no reference to the Gospel that is now being preached to the nations. It is the Gospel of SALVATION, but the "Gospel of the Kingdom" is not for "Salvation" but for a WITNESS, that is, it is the announcement that the time has come to SET UP THE KINGDOM. It will be preached first by Elijah the forerunner (Mal. 4:5-6), and by others who shall be commissioned to bear the news to all nations as a proclamation of the coming of Christ as King to occupy the "Throne of David," and for the purpose of regathering Israel to the Promised Land.” Jesus Christ told his followers that the Gospel of the kingdom would be preached until the END of the world. There was not even an inkling that there were different versions of the gospel in his statement to his followers. Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Mr Clarence Larkin the author of Dispensationalist Truth made a clear difference between the “Gospel of the Kingdom” which Jesus Christ the creator of all things declared would be preached until the end and the Gospel that is being preached NOW which is the Gospel of SALVATION. Mr Larkin went on to say that the Gospel of the Kingdom STOPPED after Israel rejected Jesus as King. He went on to say that this gospel (Kingdom gospel) would begin again AFTER the church is taken out. (obviously the rapture). That was the point that I was making in these videos. I was pointing out the heresy of HIS Dispensational teaching.

Skiing and theKingdom seem to be counterintuitive.
