It's easy to notice what's wrong in other people, but much harder to recognize what needs to change in ourselves. This week at Sandals Church, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown challenges us to shift from criticism to self-reflection and to pay attention to the quiet ways the Holy Spirit works in our lives. If you've ever struggled with being judgmental—or felt judged yourself—this talk will give you a fresh way to think about growth and connection.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Do you belong to the Kingdom?From the series: The Story of God(bulletin here)

In this study in Matthew chapter 8 verses 18 thru 27, Jesus makes two trips by boat.First, Jesus deals with a scribe and a half hearted disciple who wanted to follow Him, in verse 18 thru 23. Dr. Mitchell discourses on the motivations of these two would-be disciples while Jesus' disciples continued to follow Jesus.So where does Jesus lead these disciples? He leads them into a storm and they became afraid. But who did they turn to? They turned to Jesus in the midst of their storm. Do you and I do this when the waves get rough in our life? The Lord Jesus is here when we turn to Him and call on Him in our present distress. Let's turn to Matthew 8:18 with Dr. Mitchell as he shares comforting passages from the Scriptures to encourage our faith in God here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In chapter 8, Matthew writes of our Lord healing the servant of a Roman centurion. He really cared for his servant-slave. Here Matthew presents the first Gentile in his book. This centurion's faith was unique. Here is what Jesus said in verse 10, "Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith".Why did Jesus say this? The centurion believed Jesus could heal his servant with just a word. No need to go to the servant or to touch him. Jesus just spoke the word and he was healed. What power that is?When the Lord healed Peter's mother-in-law with a touch and later cast out demons, Matthew quotes, the O.T for the 17th time. "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases" found in Isaiah 53:4. Here Jesus fulfills another Messianic prophecy as the Messiah.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 8:5.

Our lesson begins in Matthew chapter 8. We will be looking into verses 1 thru 4 here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.Dr. Mitchell points out the power of our Lord Jesus in this chapter. Jesus has power over disease, over demons, and over nature.So in this study, we see Jesus displaying power over disease by healing a leper. Leprosy is a picture of the defilement of sin. Jesus' healing this leprous man demonstrates His authority to forgive sins. This act showed Jesus as the Messiah spoken about in the O.T. The Messiah would be able to heal and He did.Jesus is able to heal the sick of spirit, of soul and of body. Jesus has died and shed His blood to cleanse from sin and guilt. The one who reaches out to Him in prayer and faith can receive that forgiveness and cleansing before God Himself. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 8:1-4.

There's more to Jesus than most people think—and it might not be what you expect.This week, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown reveals three powerful but often-overlooked truths about Jesus: why his miracles didn't always have the impact you'd expect, how he was more than just a teacher or prophet, and the kind of people he was most drawn to.Whether you're exploring faith, walking through doubt, or just curious—this message gives you space to reflect, ask better questions, and take a real look at what Jesus was all about.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

In Matthew, chapter eight, Jesus and His disciples find themselves in the middle of a lake during a furious storm; Jesus, however, is fast asleep. This week, we ask the questions: What keeps us from sleeping, and how can we fall and stay asleep?

September 7, 2025 The Gospel of Matthew Matthew 18:1-6 Scott Mitchell

To finish out chapter 7 of Matthew with this lesson, Dr. Mitchell begins with verse 23. He speaks again of the false prophets. He presents the true and wise criteria for discerning the message of one who preaches and teaches the Scriptures. You can be sure sure it all centers around the Word of God and the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. So, listen carefully for these criteria.Next, looking at verses 24 thru 29, Matthew writes Jesus' words concerning two foundations. Jesus compares two men who built two houses on two different foundations. One built on the rock, the other built on the sand. Which stands the storms of life in this world? Is it Jesus Christ and the Word of God? Which foundation are you building on? Is it firm, stable and unmovable or is it moving, shifting and unstable? Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 7:23-29.

Matthew chapter 7 verses 15 thru 23 takes on a different tone as Jesus presents warnings to those hearing His words. He warns us concerning false prophets. He speaks concerning their disguise, their fruit and their destiny. These false prophets come from among those who are traveling on the wide and broad way. Dr. Mitchell points out that these false prophets and teachers come in among God's people.So, how does one know who these are? Dr. Mitchell shares a number of Scriptures that helps one to discern what is of the truth and who is not. And the fruit of their words and their deeds leads one to ask: Does that one know Jesus as their savior.You can be assured that Jesus Christ, who is the truth, will be the deciding factor in one's discernment of the true and the false as Dr. Mitchell tells us on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 7:15-23.

Performance-oriented religion will leave us feeling weary and burdened, but Jesus has a different path for us! Breakthrough belongs to Him and salvation through Him, so when we feel weary or burdened Jesus wants us to come to Him with all of it. He doesn't just give a motivational speech, merely reprimand us, or simply tolerate us. He, "...will give you rest" ... "rest for your soul..." (Matt 11:28-29) Is there still meaningful work for us to do in this life? Absolutely, and the 'yoke' of Jesus fits us well. His burden for us is light. Does this mean our work and our prayers are somehow 'lightweight?' No way. In Christ, our prayers are powerful, not puny.

Matthew chapter 7 begins with Jesus dealing with judging others before examining oneself. One's perspective in seeing is the difference between seeing a plank or a splinter. Dr. Mitchell then takes up the attitude the believer should have toward the unbeliever in sharing precious truth that they wouldn't understand. In verses 7 through 11, Jesus speaks to us about the Father's desire to give good gifts to his children. We who know the Lord can be assured that God does answer our prayers. Are you a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ?Dr. Mitchell then takes up the verses having to do with the golden rule and then teaches on the two ways. One way is Broad and leads to destruction the other is narrow and leads to life. Here is Dr. Mitchell with the way to life on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, Mt. 7:1-14.

Pastor Steve Strong continues the Matthew series on Kingdom Righteousness from Matthew chapter 23:1-39

Our study takes us into Matthew chapter 6 verses 19-34. Matthew, a disciple, and a former tax collector, heard Jesus speak of not laying up treasure for one's self on this earth but rather laying up treasures for one's self in heaven.Treasures in heaven are far from the the things that can eat it up or corrupt it and make it worthless. It is also far from those who would steal it from you.The import of these verses has to do with anxiety which too easily comes upon on us in these changing times, fortunes and circumstances.Our Lord has the answer for these anxieties concerning our lifestyles by focusing our attention of God's priorities (Mat. 6:33) and to stop worrying. Let's trust our Lord Jesus Christ when He says, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow.."Here is Dr. Mitchell, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast,Matthew 6:19-34

Not forgiving others only hurts you.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues in the book of Matthew, chapter 6, verses 11-18.We'll first hear a brief review of previous verses to focus our hearts on the context of our Lord's words to His disciples and the people who where listening to Him in that day.Dr. Mitchell walks us through the two verses dealing with the Lord's instructions to his disciples on how to pray. In verse 14, He further explains that part of the prayer dealing with forgiveness.Dr. Mitchell relates several scriptures declaring forgiveness of sins to every one who trusts in Christ for it. Along with this trust in Jesus Christ as one's savior comes cleansing from all sin and unrighteousness. Jesus' blood on the cross is that on which God guarantees His forgiveness and salvation to you and me.Here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 6:11.

Ever had that moment where you ask yourself, “Am I crazy? Is any of this real?” We all wrestle with questions—about life, meaning, and whether there's more going on than what we see. Doubt isn't a glitch in your system, it's part of being human. In this video, we talk honestly about what to do when your expectations don't match your reality, and how doubt might actually be pointing you toward something deeper.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!- Other Sandals Church YouTube Channels -The Debrief with Matt Brown: www.youtube.com/c/TheDebriefShowSandalschurch.tv:www.youtube.com/channel/UC0BBn1VFrdLWtB-TpEM1jjwSandals Church Youth: www.youtube.com/channel/UCnklO4l6HduzlKOh_Me8tdg

Matthew 7:21–29 (NIV) 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” 28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

This week, we jump back into our study of the gospel of Matthew, taking a look at the story of Jesus healing the man with leprosy.

Matthew 22v15-22Rob Harlamert's sermon on Jesus vs Politics and Religion

Thank you for being here with us! The passage before us in this study covers verses which much of christendom almost knows by heart. Here in these verses, Mt.6:9-13, Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray. Often times called the "Lord's Prayer" it is in reality the 'Disciple's Prayer' as taught to them by the Lord Jesus.Dr. Mitchell states that this prayer contains 3 parts God-ward and 3 parts man-ward. He will be looking into the first two verses dealing with one's attitude toward God, Our Father. Here in verses 9-10 is presented the question of reverence, rule and obedience, e.g. Thy Name, Thy kingdom, Thy will. The prayer is directed to Our Father, the one who is in heaven.Turn with us in your Bible to Matthew 6:9-10 with Dr. Mitchell, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Dr. Mitchell next takes up Mat.6:5-8 where our Lord speaks on the subject of prayer. Jesus instructs those listening concerning their personal relationship to their Father. He teaches them, again, about one's motive. Even one's motive in praying in public is open to God.Next then, Jesus speaks about praying to the Father in private. He makes mention of the need to realize that Our Father knows what we need before we even ask Him. Therefore, we don't need to use perpetual and meaningless repetitions of words with God. Jesus said this is what religious people do who do not know God as their Father.Read 1Kings 18:20-38. Read the difference between the short prayer of Elijah and the many words of Baal's prophets. Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Dr. Mitchell walks us through Mt.6:5-8.

As Jesus has spoken about love for one's neighbor, Dr. Mitchell cautions one about disguising one' sin as love for others. Jesus then, having spoken to the future citizens of the kingdom of heaven about several topics, He now speaks about the Jewish custom of giving alms to the poor. In Matthew 6:1-4 Jesus speaks of one's duties before God which in this case has to do with one's giving. Here Jesus looks again at the motives as well as the actions. The Word of God speaks of God as a great giver. Scripture says, If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally and without reproach and it shall be given. God gave us His only begotten Son and Jesus gave Himself for us. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, in Matthew 6:1, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

As Dr. Mitchell has said, these words from our Lord deals with personal relationships. Jesus speaks on the topics of love and hate especially with reference to enemies.Once again our Lord speaks to those who would be citizens of the kingdom of heaven. He now directs their attention to the difference between what they had been told concerning love for one's neighbor but hate to one's enemies. What is especially precious in this passage is how God the Father is perfect and impartial to both the good and evil, both to those who are righteous and to those who are unrighteous. How precious is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is also our Father who is in heaven. Remember that Jesus referred to God as His God and our God, His Father and our Father. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast in Matthew 5:43.

We fight for relationship — not for being right.

Pastor Steve Strong continues the Matthew series on Kingdom Righteousness from Matthew chapter 22:15-46

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues in Matthew chapter 5. Dr. Mitchell will be looking at verses 29 thru 42. In these passages Matthew records our Lord's words concerning four separate topics. Our Lord first speaks with authority about the real heart of adultery as an inner desire before it becomes an outer action. Dr. Mitchell surveys scriptures concerning this topic.The next topic has to with making and keeping vows which one may think it is possible to keep. What does Jesus say about this for the kingdom citizen?The third topic has to do with the concept of retaliation for an injury incurred. What the Lord says, concerning the law for the one who will be in His kingdom, is that this one is not to resist evil, not to exact revenge, but on the contrary, to bless. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 5:27.

Not all battles are worth your energy—but some are too important to ignore.In this thought-provoking message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown breaks down what it looks like to fight for something that actually matters. It's not about arguments, opinions, or winning debates—it's about choosing courage over comfort and purpose over popularity.If you've ever felt the tension between keeping the peace and standing for what's right, this message is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Jesus is teaching His disciples the laws of the King when He will reign in His kingdom during the millennium. We are in Matt. 5 verses 21-28. In these verses Matthew writes how Jesus confronts the very motives of a person's heart. The Lord gets right down to the heart of the matter. Matthew writes the very words that our Lord speaks, "you have heard that it was said...but I say unto you..." Jesus speaks these words 6 times in this chapter. Jesus' authority is superior to what the disciples had previously heard and been taught as to what the law meant. Dr. Mitchell will discuss the very differences between law and grace, and the very impossibility of keeping the law. This leads one to the very grace of God and to trust in Christ and His finished work alone at the cross and resurrection. If you believe in God, believe also in Jesus Christ.Here is Dr. Mitchell with Matthew 5:21-28.

Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 through 28 will be the focus of our study for this lesson.Dr. Mitchell points our that the Bible is a complete revelation of God's purposes in any age.Here in verses 17-28 , Jesus is teaching his disciples the law of the king for the future kingdom of heaven on earth.There is also truth and principles that apply to us today in this age of grace and of the church. In fact, these truths are applicable for any time in history. Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets not to abolish them. Here our Lord is speaking of the laws in what we know as the Old Testament. Please notice the superior authority of Jesus when He says, "For truly I say unto you..."On the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast here is Dr. John G. Mitchell, Matthew 5:17-28.

By Jon Davies - Among some scholars, the actual author of the Gospel of Matthew is in question. Was it actually written by Matthew and, if so, when. Carefully investigation gives us these answers.

Ever feel like the world is falling apart—and you have no idea where to start?This week, Melody Workman reminds us that real change doesn't come from having all the answers; it comes from showing up with compassion and a willingness to act.Jesus didn't shame people into change. He saw them—confused, hurting, overlooked—and had compassion. That's the kind of person we're invited to be.The mission isn't somewhere “out there.” It's here. It's now. And it might just start with you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!4
