Do you most often use your imperfection as an excuse or your perfection inChrist as an explanation?3. How does the doctrine of original sin help you explain the state of the world, aperson's need for the redemption that is found only in Christ and the doctrine ofthe virgin birth?4.

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)
Preached during Joyful Hour Sunday Service | Pst Dr Elliot Lamptey
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
As we continue to read through Matthew 23, we are listening carefully to Jesus as He pronounces eight woes against the scribes and the Pharisees. They are hypocrites, and on this day the Lord will take off their masks and expose them for who they really are. Let's be sure not to make the same mistakes as they did.
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 Live recording of the 10 am Service at Steadfast Church in Carlsbad, California with Pastor Chris Fik, October 26, 2025.
The Pharisees and Sadducees sought to trap Jesus. However, none of their tactics worked because Jesus, as God, cannot be trapped by human logic. After they finished, Jesus asked them a pointed and essential question. "Whose son is the Christ?" They couldn't answer.
Though the scribes and the Pharisees were publicly revered by the people, they were privately corrupt. As they proved themselves to be masters of appearance before men, they were turning their backs on God and His will for their own lives.

Heart of a Man is a men's community based our Carmel, IN. We exist to deeply connect men with a brotherhood equally committed to learning, growing, walking through life together and deepening in faith. Our mission is to build men into character-driven, committed disciples of Jesus, equipped to forge healthy, life-giving relationships at home, at work, and in their communities. Today's lesson is from Professor of Systematic and Applied Theology at Cedarville University, Jeremy Kimble, where he walks us through the latter half of Matthew 5. He shows us the transformative power of Jesus in 6 vital arenas of life, challenging us to consider carefully what the Lord is doing in those areas to make us look more like Him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have made it to the final discourse of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew. Jesus has told all of Israel the truth about heaven, His Father, and His Father's will for their lives. Now it is time to speak clearly and openly about the Scribes and the Pharisees. This message will push them over the edge, but Jesus will always tell the truth about our condition before God and what we must do about it. We love Him for that.
Jesus isn't just the promised human Son of David—He's also the eternal Son of God, revealing both God's faithful promises and His power to surprise and transform our lives.
We have arrived at a place in Matthew's Gospel where we find Jesus genuinely amazed. What amazed him, and why? Have a listen!

Pastor John Bingham - The Parables of Jesus - Matthew 13:36-40
In previous eras, people fought and died for their views of baptism. But in our era, it's often seen as a religious ritual that has little practical significance. In Matthew 3, Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist, demonstrating that he has come to identify with sinful humanity. In this sermon, we explore the significance of Jesus' baptism and how, in Christian baptism, the Christian receives the gift of the Spirit, the intercession of the Son, and the loving voice of the Father.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.
Jesus outsmarts his opponents and shows us God's wisdom on politics, resurrection hope, and the priority of loving God and neighbor.
