Your Story in the Christmas Story: Lessons from the Genealogy of Jesus-Matthew 1:1-17 by Chaplain Braswell

Are you trusting God, or are you testing Him? The Enemy loves to twist Scripture to make recklessness look like faith. Here is why God's protection is not a license for your stupidity.In Week 2 of our Wilderness Series, we are breaking down the Second Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:5-7). The Enemy doesn't come as a monster; he comes as a theologian, quoting Psalm 91 to trap the Son of God.We are talking about the subtle but dangerous trap of Presumption—making reckless decisions with your money, your health, or your business, and then demanding God fix it.In this episode, we cover:Why the Devil quotes the Bible (and how he twists it).The difference between a God-given Sign and an Ego-driven Stunt."Boring Obedience": The Tom Brady principle of success that no one wants to talk about.Why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is "take the stairs" instead of jumping.If you have been waiting for a miraculous bailout for a mess you created, this episode will help you stop jumping and start walking in wisdom.0:00 - The Enemy Acts Like a Theologian 1:30 - The Pinnacle: Public Pressure & Ego 3:30 - What is Presumption? (The "Fake Faith" Trap) 5:40 - God Is Not Your Safety Net for Bad Decisions 8:00 - God's Protection is Not a License for Stupidity 9:40 - The Tom Brady Principle (Boring Obedience) 11:25 - The Challenge: Stop Jumping, Start Walking#FaithVsStupidity #Presumption #BoringObedience #ChristianLeadership #ShiftsAndLadders

Jesus has been stressing to us the importance of being faithful and being ready for Him when He comes. Today, He will give us the parable of the 10 virgins and why five of them were wise and five of them were foolish.

Send us a text“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.' “So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,' which is translated, ‘God with us.' “Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus” (Matthew 1:18-25).Freshly written and sent out immediately "morning by morning" from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.God bless you and you have a great day!—Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministrieshttp://messiah-ministries.org

The Humble Servants of God Part 2: Joseph, the Earthly Father of Jesus Matthew 1:18-24 God's ways are not our ways. Just like Mary, Joseph, according to human reasoning and understanding was an unlikely choice to be used by God to be His Son's earthly father. But God takes the logic and reasoning of the world and flips it on its head. It was prophesied that Jesus would come from the Tribe of Judah and would be a direct descendant of both Abraham and King David. Joseph fulfilled this ancient prophesy, but even though he was a man of simple means, we can learn much from his life. Joseph chose to walk by faith even in the midst of confusion. He was a man who modeled humility and Joseph's life, character and obedience point us to the heart of our Heavenly Father. As the children of God, may we all strive to be more like Joseph; humble and selfless as we serve the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus.See you Sunday!I love y'alldoug

Tom Logue - December 14th 2025 What you value most will determine who your master is. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:16–22 with Jesus' encounter with the rich young ruler. Through a simple “this or that” exercise and a deeply personal exposition of the text, Tom shows how our everyday choices reveal what we truly value—and ultimately, what we worship. While the young man appears moral, successful, and spiritually sincere, Jesus exposes the deeper issue of his heart: eternal life cannot be earned, and his wealth has become a rival master. Tom unpacks how Jesus intentionally lists only the commandments related to loving others, then lovingly confronts the man's idolatry through a custom-tailored invitation. When we genuinely engage with God, He inevitably invites us to let go of lesser masters—money, control, approval, comfort—and follow Him instead. These invitations are not just tests; they are the keys to freedom. In a powerful Advent connection, Tom shows how Jesus practices what He preaches: Christ Himself let go of the riches of heaven, gave His life to the spiritually poor, and now invites us to say yes to the only Master who leads to life. This message calls us to examine our ruling gods, receive the gift of grace, and joyfully say, “Yes, Master,” to Jesus alone.

Joseph and Jesus (Matthew 1:18-25) - Chris Price | December 14, 2025Christmas is the season to awaken wonder, whether for the first time or for the fiftieth time. It is the most wonderful time of the year because of the most wonderful Story ever told: that a baby would be born of a virgin, fully God and fully man, and in His coming, would save the world. We enter into the Story with wonder—surprise, unexpected, and inexplicable wonder that marvels at the mystery of God with us.The Way Church is a church in Vancouver joining Jesus in the restoration of all things.

Comparison is one of the enemy's most subtle and destructive weapons against believers—and most of us don't even realize how deeply it affects us. In this powerful conversation, Michael Miller shares the dramatic moment God woke him in the night with these words: "Comparison is killing my people, just like it killed me." What followed was a deep dive into Scripture that revealed comparison as the driving force behind some of the Bible's greatest tragedies—from Cain's murder of Abel to Saul's downfall to the Pharisees' envy that led to Jesus' crucifixion.In this episode, we discuss:-How comparison drove the crucifixion of Jesus (Matthew 27)-The devastating impact of "brother culture" vs. the freedom of "father culture"-Why King Saul's insecurity cost him everything-Peter's struggle with proving his worth and Jesus' restoration at the fire of coals-The danger of social media and comparing our messy reality to others' highlight reels-How to recognize pride and insecurity as the two trenches comparison leads us into-The antidote to envy: practicing thanksgiving for others' blessings-Why faithfulness matters more than success-How to discover and embrace this truth: "You make a good you"KEY SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:-2 Corinthians 10:12 - "When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding"-James 3:14-16 - "Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing"-Matthew 18:5 - Receiving the wounded child within-John 21 - Jesus restores Peter at the fire of coalsWhether you're struggling with insecurity, constantly measuring yourself against others, or trying to wear someone else's armor instead of being authentically you—this message will set you free.ABOUT MICHAEL MILLER:Michael Miller is the founder and senior leader of Upper Room Dallas, a global prayer and worship movement that began in April 2010 in a small office space overlooking downtown Dallas.

As we make our way to the end of Matthew 24, Jesus will tell us to watch and be ready! The Son of Man is coming at an hour that we do not expect. When He comes, will He find us being good stewards awaiting His return or will we be caught doing evil things, believing that He is delaying his coming?

Tom Logue - December 7th 2025 The blessing of God flows to the needy, the humble, and the childlike who come to Jesus. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:13–15, where parents bring their children to Jesus for Him to lay His hands on them and pray. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Tom teaches on the biblical pattern of laying on of hands—how throughout the Bible God transfers wisdom, healing, empowerment, spiritual gifts, and the Holy Spirit through ordinary people who make themselves available. He challenges us not to decline the blessing God wants to give because we avoid the means through which He gives it. Tom also unpacks the difference between childishness and childlikeness: childishness is impulsive, self-focused, prideful, and tantrum-prone—while childlikeness is marked by humility, dependence, awe, wonder, trust, and quick forgiveness. Jesus says the kingdom belongs to people like this. We were made for the kingdom the way fish were made for water; when we exit it through pride or self-reliance, we spiritually suffocate under anxiety, fear, bitterness, or despair. But Jesus wants the needy to come to Him—He delights to bless, touch, heal, and restore His children. Tom calls every listener—parent, youth, child, and spiritually suffocating adult—to come back into God's presence, receive blessing, and breathe again.

The New Testament begins with a family tree, showing Jesus as the heir of the promises of God to Abraham and David. But when we see who is listed, we discover an unexpected genealogy for a Messiah. What can this teach us about God's purposes in Jesus?

Message #1 by Pastor Doug Corlew - Kingdom Come (The Gospel of Matthew) Sermon Series

November 30, 2025Main Idea: Like Joseph, understanding the nature, mission, and promise of Jesus moves us to trust and obey God.

In this episode, Jesus will tell his disciples about the tribulation and the things that will come immediately after the tribulation. Danny and Robert truly want to thank everyone who has been listening to this study about Jesus, as we move through the five major discourses of Jesus in the book of Matthew.

When the storm is at its height, Christ comes near, not in the calm but in the very midst of the waves. So also does He ordinarily display His power: not by removing every trouble, but by showing Himself sovereign over them. And Christ dispels the disciples' fear with a single word: “Take courage; it is I. Do not be afraid.” Here is the foundation of all peace—Christ's divine presence, not our circumstances.

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. - Jesus (Matthew 6:22) Faith is the habit of seeing what God sees, but most of us suffer from vision deficiency. In the final chapters of the book of Hebrews, the author urges believers to fix our eyes on Jesus. By seeing Jesus for who he really is - the image of perfection and the pioneer of our faith - we will be able to see ourselves for who we are: imperfect sinners saved by grace through faith. Join us at The Story, Sundays in November, as we fix our eyes to see God's vision for our lives!

Here in Matthew 24, Jesus will change His tone and His teaching. Now that He has left the temple, His disciples have gathered to Him and have asked three very important questions. "When will these things be? What will be the sign of Your coming? And what will be the sign of the end of the age?"

More Than a Meal – Pt. 3 | Look Around“This is my body… this is my blood.” — Jesus (Matthew 26:26–28)Communion isn't just something we think about — it's something we participate in. In Part 3 of our More Than a Meal series, Pastor CJ Witkoe invites us to stop overthinking, slow down, and look around at what Jesus is actually doing in communion.When Jesus said, “This is my body… this is my blood,” He took the familiar symbolism of the Passover meal and radically redefined it. No longer shaped by the lamb of Egypt, the bread and cup now point to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.In this message you'll discover:

Jonah And Jesus (Matthew 12:38-50)

In this episode, Jesus will finish the pronouncement of His eight woes upon the scribes and the Pharisees. They have played the hypocrite, and it is time for the world to know. The chapter concludes with the lament of Jesus, over the city of Jerusalem.

Sermons, November 2025, Matthew, Baptism, Pastor Ray Fowler

Tuesday, 4 November 2025   At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus Matthew 14:1   “In that time, Herod the tetrarch, he heard the ‘Jesus hearing'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Chapter 13 ended with words concerning Jesus' not doing many miracles in Nazareth due to their faithlessness. Chapter 14 now begins with, “In that time, Herod the tetrarch.”   A new word is seen, tetrarchés. It signifies the ruler of the one-fourth part of a country or region. In other words, he is not a ruler of a country with three other rulers. Instead, his rule covers one-fourth of the area of a county.   Thayer's Lexicon notes that “the word lost its strict etymological force, and came to denote ‘the governor of a third part or half of a country, or even the ruler of an entire country or district provided it were of comparatively narrow limits; a petty prince.'”   Of this particular Herod, Charles Ellicott provides the following description –   “The son of Herod the Great by Malthace. Under his father's will he succeeded to the government of Galilee and Peræa, with the title of Tetrarch, and as ruler of a fourth part of the Roman province of Syria. His first wife was a daughter of Aretas, an Arabian king or chief, named in 2Corinthians 11:32 as king of the Damascenes. Herodias, the wife of his half-brother Philip (not the Tetrarch of Trachonitis, Luke 3:1, but son of Herod the Great by Mariamne, and though wealthy, holding no official position as a ruler), was daughter of Aristobulus, the son whom Herod put to death, and was therefore niece to both her husbands. Prompted partly by passion, partly by ambition, she left Philip, and became the wife of Antipas (Jos. Ant. xviii. 5, §4). The marriage, at once adulterous and by the Mosaic law doubly incestuous, shocked the conscience of all the stricter Jews. It involved Antipas in a war with the father of the wife whom he had divorced and dismissed, and it was probably in connection with this war that we read of soldiers on actual duty as coming under the teaching of the Baptist in Luke 3:14. The prophetic spirit of the Baptist, the very spirit of Elijah in his dealings with Ahab and Jezebel, made him the spokesman of the general feeling, and so brought him within the range of the vindictive bitterness of the guilty queen.”   Concerning this Herod, Matthew records, “he heard the ‘Jesus hearing.'” In other words, the news (it is a noun signifying “a hearing”) of Jesus was circulating everywhere. He heard of this exciting news, and it set the stage for what lies ahead. Today, such a hearing might be precipitated by a statement like, “Have you heard the news about the guy from Nazareth, Jesus? He is incredible!”   Such a statement is the hearing. Herod heard it and will react to it.   Life application: Some of the translations of this verse say, the fame of Jesus, the news of Jesus, the report of Jesus, the reports of Jesus, heard about Jesus, the hearing of Jesus, concerning Jesus, etc. Various smaller changes from some of these exist.   Don't think that because a translation doesn't exactly match the original that there is an error. The intent is essentially the same. Some versions give a thought-for-thought rendering. Some attempt to give a closer rendering of each word, but amend it to sound more common to the hearing of the audience.   A literal, or close to literal, translation can be extremely unpleasant to listen to and tiring to the mind to read. Trying to make sense of the structure of the original language while also trying to understand the intent in a reasonable way is much more difficult with a direct rendering of each word.   Also, there is the consideration that different people will come up with different words to describe the same original word. Therefore, at times, there are going to be a seemingly infinite number of differences in translations, but they all will carry the same message to some extent.   We should never tolerate purposeful manipulation of the text, something that scholars will search for and highlight. Such manipulations have occurred in the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses as well as some Hebrew Roots Movement translations.   In order to meet their perverse agenda, such manipulations are underhandedly introduced. If you are looking for a new translation to read, be sure to check up on whatever you are leaning towards buying, just in case someone has identified such things.   But be sure to check the source you are reading as well. Some commentaries on Bible translations are biased towards one translation, the KJV, for example. Therefore, they will find all other versions damnable. That is not a healthy way of looking at such things either.   In the end, just keep reading the word. Keep thinking about what God has done in the giving of Jesus. Let the word of God dwell in you richly. It will bring delight to your heart, joy to your day, and contentment to your soul as you consider the eternal blessings that lie ahead for the redeemed of the Lord.   Lord God, thank You for allowing us to enter into the study of another chapter of the book of Matthew. We anticipate a great adventure as we analyze it day by day. Give us the clarity of mind that is needed to properly understand what is being conveyed. Amen.

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. - Jesus (Matthew 6:22) Faith is the habit of seeing what God sees, but most of us suffer from vision deficiency. In the final chapters of the book of Hebrews, the author urges believers to fix our eyes on Jesus. By seeing Jesus for who he really is - the image of perfection and the pioneer of our faith - we will be able to see ourselves for who we are: imperfect sinners saved by grace through faith. Join us at The Story, Sundays in November, as we fix our eyes to see God's vision for our lives!
