Neil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchWhy Jesus Is Not Safe For the Entire FamilyMatthew 10:34-421. Jesus came to bring heaven to bear on earth, v. 34“Do not think I have come to bring peace to the earth.”2. Jesus insists on being the affection priority, v. 35-37“Jesus talks in this radical, shocking, one-sided way often. He expects us to be startled,awakened, made serious. And then he expects us to put the proper boundaries around whathe's saying by remembering what he said elsewhere.” ~ John Piper• “See what kind of love the Father has given to us...”• Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as you loveyourself.”• You shall have no other gods before me.• You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven or earth,or bow down to serve them.sus came to ensure everybody gets a cross, v. 38-39“The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross; yet in its ugliness it remains the mosteloquent testimony to human dignity.” ~ R. C. Sproul• I John 3:14• I Timothy 6:17-19"This is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfillingfrom a sense of the deepest places of your heart. There's a lot of people that make it to whatthey thought was going to fulfill them in life and then you get there and all of a sudden, you getto number one in the world, and then they are like, what's the point? I really do believe thatbecause what is the point? ~ Scottie SchefflerMental worship...1. What has changed in how you think about Jesus since you came to faith?

Jesus Sends the Twelve (Matthew 10:1-15) by Faith Family Church Oak Grove
Welcome to Eden Worship Center's Sunday Morning Livestream! 08/2/2026We're so glad you've joined us online today. Each week we gather as a church family to worship Jesus, hear from God's Word, and encourage one another in the gospel. Whether you're watching live or catching up later, our prayer is that Christ would be exalted and your heart would be strengthened in Him.
Matthew 10:24-25 "Expect to be Called Four Letter Words"
Matthew 10:24-25 "The Diciple is not Above His Teacher"
Matthew 10:23 "Expect Persecution"
Matthew 10:21-22 "Hated By All"
Jesus doesn't simply call us to believe in Him—He calls us to be with Him, represent Him, and trust Him as we live sent.
If you are often puzzled by the events and circumstances in our world, take heart. You're not alone. When Jesus sent His disciples into the world, He prepared them for the worst. Even John the Baptist was confused. Take Jesus' instruction to heart in our study of Matthew 10-11.
Into a world filled with words of division, judgment, violence and uncertainty. Jesus reveals a wordless gospel revealed in welcoming - receiving the least, the last and ever our enemies. A gospel not bound by human dictionary's but defined by boundless reach of the love of the Father to the human heart and that beloved is good news!
Jesus promises His disciples that as they confess Him before the world, He will confess them before His Father in heaven. The disciples must know that this will bring division even within their own families, and they must bear this division as carrying a cross while following Jesus. To lose their lives for His sake will be to truly keep their lives eternally. Those who receive the disciples are actually receiving Jesus and the Father who sent Him. This strengthens the disciples as they go out proclaiming the kingdom of God. Rev. Dr. Scott Murray, pastor emeritus in Houston, TX and Third Vice President of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 10:32-42. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Jesus prepares His disciples for the opposition they will face as they go out proclaiming God's kingdom. However, the Holy Spirit will give them words to speak as they endure to the end. The hostility the disciples face should be unsurprising since their Lord faced the same. This will give the disciples courage to proclaim the Word of God openly. As they rightly fear God, their other fears will be taken away, for this same God is their heavenly Father who loves His people. Rev. Sean Smith, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Clarksville, TN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 10:16-31.

Jesus sends His twelve first, not to the Gentiles or Samaritans, but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. These lost sheep need to hear the message that both John and Jesus have preached: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand!” God's reign as King brings healing from sickness and rescue from demons among those who hear the Twelve's message. God's reign as King will provide for the Twelve as they go, as He provides for their physical needs through the generosity of those who hear and believe. Those who believe the Word will receive peace from God, but those who do not believe are warned that the Day of Judgment is coming as it once came for notoriously wicked places. Rev. Tim Sandeno, missionary church planter to Spangdahlem, Germany, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 10:5-15. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew.
