Matthew 4:23-25 – The Gospel of the Kingdom [53 times – heaven]

In this message from Matthew 12:33-37, we confront a dangerous trend in the modern church: confusing spiritual gifts with spiritual fruit. Jesus warned the Pharisees—and us—that a tree is known by its fruit, not by its giftedness, popularity, or power. Yet today, the church overlooks leaders who display the works of the flesh (sexual immorality, anger, division, greed) simply because they seem anointed with prophetic power or miraculous gifts. Drawing from Galatians 5 and 1 Corinthians 13, we discover that it's possible to prophesy, heal, and build massive ministries while producing rotten fruit, and God, in His patience, may allow it for a time. But the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) is the true measure of a good tree. This sermon also exposes "cover-up culture," where the church protects abusive leaders by attacking whistleblowers instead of addressing the sin. Finally, we're reminded that we will give account for every careless word, which is a sobering reality that should drive us to desperate dependence on the blood of Jesus.

A Complete Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew “Charles H. Spurgeon had a rare insight into the Word of God and spiritual truth. He was a prophet of wonderfully clear vision. He saw beneath the letter to the spirit of divine truth. He was both an example and a proof that the days of anointed eyes and anointed tongue are not past, and that the unction from the Holy One (1 John 2:20), which confers both spiritual perception and effective utterance, was not confined to apostolic times. “This commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is the latest and ripest of his life's labors. It will be found as a tree laden with rich fruit and evidencing a soil uniquely fertile and a culture that reveals a divine husbandman. We predict for this volume a larger sale than for any of Spurgeon's previous works, partly because it is his latest and has in a sense the aroma of his dying days, and partly because it is a simple, brief, and charming memorial of the most effective popular preacher of his age. Every page is, like his sermons, full of his Master and yet sparkling with his own unique individuality. They will be found to disclose many of the secrets of his power in discerning, expounding, and applying the gospel. The reader will find himself here keeping perpetual company with one whose soul followed hard after God, and who loved the paths where his Savior had trodden before him. “May the inspiring Spirit, who guided the evangelist Matthew in the production of this narrative, become to all readers of this commentary the illuminating Spirit also; and through these pages may he who is dead still continue to speak!” - Arthur T. Pierson. Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, February, 1893 About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.

A Complete Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew “Charles H. Spurgeon had a rare insight into the Word of God and spiritual truth. He was a prophet of wonderfully clear vision. He saw beneath the letter to the spirit of divine truth. He was both an example and a proof that the days of anointed eyes and anointed tongue are not past, and that the unction from the Holy One (1 John 2:20), which confers both spiritual perception and effective utterance, was not confined to apostolic times. “This commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is the latest and ripest of his life's labors. It will be found as a tree laden with rich fruit and evidencing a soil uniquely fertile and a culture that reveals a divine husbandman. We predict for this volume a larger sale than for any of Spurgeon's previous works, partly because it is his latest and has in a sense the aroma of his dying days, and partly because it is a simple, brief, and charming memorial of the most effective popular preacher of his age. Every page is, like his sermons, full of his Master and yet sparkling with his own unique individuality. They will be found to disclose many of the secrets of his power in discerning, expounding, and applying the gospel. The reader will find himself here keeping perpetual company with one whose soul followed hard after God, and who loved the paths where his Savior had trodden before him. “May the inspiring Spirit, who guided the evangelist Matthew in the production of this narrative, become to all readers of this commentary the illuminating Spirit also; and through these pages may he who is dead still continue to speak!” - Arthur T. Pierson. Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, February, 1893 About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher.

He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.
