Podcasts about Matthew 11

What happens when Jesus doesn't meet our expectations? John the Baptist wrestles with doubt in prison and asks, “Are you the one?” Jesus doesn't shame his questions—He points John back to who He is and what He came to do. Matthew 11 reminds us that Jesus is a Savior for those who know they need Him.CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.You can find us here: www.citychurchboulder.com www.facebook.com/citychurchboulder www.instagram.com/citychurchboulder

Where do we find the rest our souls really need? ✅️ Come to Jesus and lay down what we are carrying.✅️ Surrender to the yoke of Jesus✅️ Learn to walk in the way of Jesus

The Good News we proclaim today is that Jesus still invites us to life - to surrender to the truth of His Father who is generous and kind. Who offers life in the unforced rhythms of grace who invites us to learn to live freely and lightly...no religious passport required - come to Me and you will recover your life. Because He has always known who you are and where you belong.

Here are the Formation Questions from Matthew 11-15, along with our B.O.L.D. living Rule of Life challenges to prayerfully practice throughout the week.SURRENDERED TO JESUS:▶️ Where has Jesus failed to meet my expectations, and how might He be inviting me to trust Him more deeply?▶️ What burden am I carrying that belongs under His yoke rather than on my shoulders?▶️ What competing desire may be choking the growth of God's word in me?SENT ON MISSION:▶️ Who might our assumptions or traditions cause us to overlook?▶️ Where can I bring Jesus' mercy into someone's grief, fear, or scarcity?COMMITTED TO ONE ANOTHER:▶️ Are we using truth to restore people or merely to evaluate them?▶️ How can our community make room for honest questions without losing confidence in Jesus?B.O.L.D. LIVING RULE OF LIFE:BE WITH & BLESS OTHERS:▶️ Spend time with someone carrying grief, disappointment, or doubt▶️ Listen before (or maybe without) offering answersOBSERVE & OBEY THE HOLY SPIRIT:▶️ Ask the Spirit to reveal one tradition, expectation, or inner desire that may be causing me to resist fully submitting to JesusLOVE & LIVE LIKE JESUS:▶️ Choose one parable from Matthew 13▶️ Identify what response it calls for and practice that response this weekDEMONSTRATE & DECLARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD:▶️ Offer one resource—time, food, money, prayer, or attention—to someone facing scarcity

20 Proverbs 28-29; 23 Isaiah 31-37; 19 Psalms 137-141; 40 Matthew 11-13

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his Scripture. Today's episode is found in Matthew 11 "Come To Me."

Only once in Scripture does Jesus describe Himself and what it's like to know Him—and it is here in Matthew 11. He begins, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Explore with Dr. J. Vernon McGee what it's like to rest in Jesus.

As Jesus is speaking about John, He begins to describe the generation that has heard them both preach. The unbelieving hearers were not satisfied, no matter what was preached, yet the truth of God's Word will be vindicated. Judgment, however, awaits those places that refused to believe Jesus' mighty words and works. The Father reveals Himself not to the wise and understanding, but to little children, that is, those who come to Jesus entirely dependent on Him. Jesus calls all to come to Him in this way, so that sinners would find rest in bearing His yoke.  Rev. Carl Roth, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins host Rev.

While Jesus' ministry of preaching and teaching in Israel continues, John remains in Herod's prison. From that cell, John sends two of His disciples to ask Jesus if He really is the Coming Christ. Jesus' response uses Old Testament promises to answer, “Yes! I am the Christ!” As John's disciples return to John with the answer, Jesus tells the crowds the importance of John's ministry. As the forerunner of the Christ, John is the Elijah promised by the prophet Malachi.  Rev. Jason Kaspar, pastor at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in La Grange, TX, joins host Rev.

Did John the Baptist lose his faith in Jesus as the Messiah (Matthew 11:3; Luke 7:19)? Why did John the Baptist ask Jesus if He was the one who was to come?

In this episode, we ask Lars Olson, “If Jesus gives rest to the weary, why does he invite us to take his yoke instead of removing our burdens altogether?” We learn what makes Jesus' yoke easy and his burden light. All things have been handed over to Jesus by the Father. And what does he do with all that power? He reveals the Father to you. There's nothing left for you to accomplish—only Christ's Word to hear. Like oxen, we keep looking for another burden to pull, only to discover that the hardest burden of all is believing the work has already been done for us in Christ.GOSPEL Matthew 11:16-19,25-30 16 “But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, 17  ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.' 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon'; 19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”25 At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”CARE OF SOULS: DEATHIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those facing death, grief, and loss.Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.Across five episodes, the hosts tackle tough but essential questions on death:How does Lutheran theology speak uniquely to death and grief?What does faithful pastoral care look like when walking alongside those who mourn?How can pastors offer both honesty and hope in the face of tragedy and loss?What does ministry look like when death impacts the pastor as well as the congregation?Why do funerals matter, and what is God giving through them?With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the sorrow of death not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about avoiding death—it's about hearing the Gospel from the One who has passed through death and opened the way to life.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of SoulsSupport the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate
