The Baptism of The King - Matthew 3:13-17

The post Where is the King? (Matthew 2) appeared first on First Baptist Church of Olney.

There's a famous optical illusion drawing that, depending on how a person perceives the image, shows an elderly woman or a young lady with her head turned away from us.You can see it here – and what's fascinating is while one person may see a young lady and another an older person, the image itself is unchanged – only our perception and interpretation of the image.We're going to be continuing our study in the Gospel of Matthew this Sunday, and we'll be reading about some very different reactions and responses to the news that the Messiah King had been born in Israel. It was perceived as either good or bad news, depending on what a person may have felt was at stake in the arrival of a new King.We'll be reading Matthew 2:1-23.The text introduces us to some characters that we'll have to try and get familiar with.We'll meet King Herod (or Herod the Great) who was the Roman puppet ruler over Israel at that time. We'll also meet the Magi, or Wise Men as our modern translations call them. They are apparently court astrologers who travel from the East because they observed astronomical phenomena that they interpreted as the portent of the arrival of an important King.We'll also hear from the religious scribes, the keepers of the Torah. All of these people react to the news of the birth of Messiah – and all of them react differently. What do the Magi state as their intentions? What does Herod say he wants to do compared with what he does? Who is this text portraying in a positive way, and who is negatively represented? What might we infer from that?We're going to pay attention the the tension and conflict that emerges as Jesus comes on the scene and consider what that tells us about the world we live in, as well as the condition of our own hearts.It will be both a challenge and an encouragement! Hope you can join us this Sunday at 10 AM!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Jesus reveals himself as the Rescuing and Suffering King—and calls us to follow him in both victory and vulnerability.

Serving the King The Kingdom of Heaven Matthew 25.31–46 MAY 18 2025

Main Text: Matthew 14:13-21 (ESV) 13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.Preaching Point: Trust in Christ's supreme authority, knowing He graciously extends His compassionate care – from your deepest spiritual needs to your daily provisions.Teaching Points: Grasp Christ's Genuine Compassion vv13-14Fight the Temptation to Doubt vv15-18Bank on Christ's Sufficiency vv19-21

This Sunday we'll be starting a new series in the Gospel of Matthew. I made the commitment a few years back to regularly revisit the story of Jesus, even though I've taught through these gospel accounts before. I just honestly believe that Christians need to spend more time with Jesus – meditating on what he taught, considering his example (and what it means for us), and learning to view life through the lens of God's Kingdom, as Jesus challenged us to do.Matthew is the first book of the New Testament and it launches us right into God fulfilling the promises he made to Abraham and sending the One the prophets had been forecasting through the ages. The cryptic message is scattered all through the Hebrew Bible: “Someone is coming who will redeem and restore”!That's all pretty exciting, until we start reading and realize we get dropped right into a lengthy genealogy. Don't let it throw you. That's what we'll be looking at this Sunday – Matthew 1:1-17 – and we'll consider what that list of names can actually tell us (and it's pretty great)!We'll also take a look at just what “gospel” means and why it's associated with Jesus. I hope you can join us as we begin this amazing journey into the life of Christ!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

We've made the Magi part of our Christmas nativity scene, but what if their story was never meant to be crammed into December 25th?In this episode, we explore the powerful and often overlooked truth of Matthew 2—the journey of the Magi, the spiritual sleepiness of religious insiders, and the faithful legacy of Daniel that may have led pagan astrologers to worship the Messiah.You'll discover:Why compressing the biblical timeline distorts deep theologyHow Daniel's influence centuries earlier could have shaped the Magi's searchWhat the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh really meanHow God speaks to seekers—even through the starsWhy worship isn't a moment but a lifestyle of surrenderThis isn't just a story of distant kings and exotic treasures. It's a call to build beyond your sight, listen for God in your own language, and bring your best to the One who is worthy.Key Axiom: “When we compress the timeline, we dilute the theology.”If you've ever felt unnoticed in your obedience, stuck in a system, or uncertain if your faithfulness matters—this message will remind you: God is always working beyond what you can see.Subscribe, share, and let this episode challenge your assumptions and reignite your worship.

In Matthew 26:57-68 we learned that the Suffering Servant is the Conquering King.

Matthew 1:1-17

The True King (Matthew 2:1-12)

Have you ever felt like evil was winning? You are not alone. Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. — Matthew 2:16 Imagine the chaos and grief in the region of Bethlehem. Mothers clutching to their children as they were ripped from their hands, fathers powerless to protect them for fear of death, the air thick with anguish. All of it was the result of one man's unbridled fear. Herod, a deranged and paranoid leader, felt his grip on power threatened by the news of a baby—a King foretold by prophecy. Herod was no stranger to violence. Historical records reveal he murdered his own wife and two sons to protect his throne. So when he was outsmarted by a few wise men, his rage boiled over into unthinkable evil. In an act of horrifying self-preservation, he ordered the massacre of every male child in Bethlehem, two years old and under. It's hard to fathom this level of cruelty. Our best estimate is that about 100 boys were slaughtered—a devastating loss for such a small region. But even though Herod's injustice was great, God's justice was greater. In the shadow of Herod's terror, God's triumph continued. Jesus, the Savior of the world, was saved. A child born King destined to rule eternal has outwitted an evil king, and Herod didn't even know it. Evil plans of earthly leaders will never outwit our Eternal King. Are you facing an overwhelming situation? Do you feel like evil is winning? Trust the King. Evil does not win. That is an illusion we mistake for reality. Evil might seem great today, but God is greater. Our Eternal King cannot be outwitted, outmaneuvered, or outplanned. Trust him in every challenge and even the darkest of circumstances. There will be a time when his justice will break through the injustice. Trust the King. #GodsJustice, #EternalHope, #TrustTheKing Ask This: When you feel overwhelmed by injustice, how can you remind yourself of God's ultimate victory and justice? What areas of your life need deeper trust in God's unshakable hope amid dark circumstances? Do This: Trust the King. Pray This: Lord, when evil feels overwhelming, remind me that You are greater, and Your justice will prevail. Help me trust Your unshakable hope in every circumstance. Amen. Play This: Trust in You.
