After facing the Pharisees and their questions, Jesus pronounced the seven or eight woes of the Scribes and Pharisees. Greater will be the judgment of these scribes and pharisees for their condemnation of the only sinless man to walk planet earth. In this episode, we parallel these woes with other verses of judgment about judgment. Matthew 23:1-39Matthew 12:41-42James 3:1Mark 9:42www.messagetokings.com
DateMay 11, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we confront the deep human longing to be seen and explore how Jesus transforms our understanding of belonging. When biological families fall short or relationships fracture, Christ offers a radical alternative: a chosen family built not on bloodlines but on the courage to show up with vulnerability and love. Through locked doors and doubt, Jesus demonstrates that true peace comes not from avoiding pain, but from meeting each other in our woundedness.ReferencesScripture: John 20:19–31 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

The price of true faith has always been steep. In this riveting exploration of Christian martyrdom, Jesse Cope takes listeners on a journey through the brutal deaths suffered by Christ's apostles—from Philip's scourging and crucifixion to James being stoned at 94 years old, and Mark being literally torn to pieces by an angry mob. These accounts aren't merely historical footnotes but powerful evidence for Christianity's truth. After all, why would these men willingly endure such horrific deaths for something they knew to be a lie?The episode opens with a challenging question that cuts to the heart of our priorities: "Have you made time for God today?" As Jesse observes, "Busy people make time for what matters to them because it matters to them." This simple yet profound insight forces us to examine what our schedules reveal about our true values. Through an examination of Matthew 12, we explore Jesus's revolutionary teaching that doing good always supersedes rigid rule-following—a message that remains as countercultural today as it was two thousand years ago.The connection between faith and liberty forms the backbone of this episode. Through readings from Mercy Otis Warren's history of the American Revolution and quotes from prominent scientists and journalists, Jesse builds a compelling case that America's founding principles are inseparably linked to Christian values. The nation's current struggles, he suggests, stem directly from our drift away from these foundations. "If a nation doesn't have people that follow the principles of Christ," Jesse observes, "she will fail." This observation isn't merely religious sentiment but a clear-eyed assessment of history and human nature—one that challenges listeners to consider their role in America's spiritual renewal.Whether you're a history buff, a person of faith, or simply someone searching for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world, this episode offers rich insights into how the sacrifices of the past illuminate our present challenges.

Sermon Notes Date: 04/20/2025, Easter Sunday Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor Key Text: Jonah 1–2; Matthew 12:40-41 Description: Lilies. Life. Light. Words we often associate with Easter. But what if the story doesn't start there? What if resurrection begins in the dark— with rebellion, a storm, and a prophet sinking into the sea? Today, on Scandia Bible […]
The resurrection of Christ serves to validate His claims.
Jesus, our promised Messiah came as Isaiah's servant to save his people among the Jews, and the Gentiles, those wo are wear and heavy laden.
Genesis 22-23; 19 Psalms 24-26; 40 Matthew 12
The theme of the Gospel of Matthew is that Jesus is King. Through His signs and teachings, He proves Himself to be the Messiah, the Son of David, the Son of Man, the Lord of the Sabbath, and God. Matthew 12 continues that theme with a focus on Jesus' role as Lord of the Sabbath. As the Pharisees reject Jesus in spite of the fact that the Holy Spirit is upon Him, Jesus warns them of the unpardonable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and tells them that the sign they will receive is the “Sign of Jonah.” Pastor Dan walks us through Matthew 12 in this sermon preparing us for Resurrection Sunday.

Pastor Kenny Keating preaches from Matthew 12, where Jesus drops the mic by saying Jonah's wild story in a Big Fish was a whisper pointing to His greater mission to save sinners, like you and me.
Can something be 'good' and not 'pleasing to God'? For example, if an unbeliever cares for the poor, would it be correct to say that their action was 'good' but not 'pleasing to God', because of their unbelief? Or does their unbelief make it 'evil'? Are there 'good' actions and 'evil' actions, or 'obedient' and 'disobedient' actions or is it just 'obedience' vs 'disobedience'? You mentioned the idea of 'imperfect fruit' for those who have genuine faith - does that mean our faith in Jesus who makes us right with God enables us to have the ability to do good? But we still don't always do good? If freedom is achieved by living through faith in Jesus, what does this look like in actions, day to day life etc. If it is not by laws/rules and restraint? How would I present this to a non-Christian friend?

Scripture Reading: Matthew 12:14-21 It is easy for individual churches to become so absorbed in their own local programs that the idea of missions plays a secondary, and not very important, role. After all, the programs of any church (Sunday School, children's groups, youth work, music, women's and men's groups, building maintenance) take a great deal of effort on the part of many people if they are going to be effective. This is all well and good and absolutely necessary for the health of any congregation. But we must not forget that the ministry of a church has twofocuses. The inward focus is that we care for each other, through teaching and friendships and mutual encouragement. The outward focus is to care for those outside the church, including those who live in the far ends of the earth. We are moved by world evangelization (and local evangelization) when we consider our personal relationship to Jesus and when we consider who Christ is to the nations, globally. Personally, He is the tender lover of our souls. He does not run roughshod over our fragile hearts. He cares for us in our brokenness and comforts us in our weaknesses (Mt 12:20). On a global scale, Jesus is the hope of the nations. "And in His name the Gentiles will hope" (Mt 12:21). In Isaiah 49:6, God declares that to redeem Israel alone is too small a thing. The Father says to the Son, "I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." This is the wondrous purpose for missions ... universal and eternal glory for God.

Jesus didn't come to establish a rigid religious system—he came to invite us into God's family. True discipleship means listening to God, rejecting self-righteous religion, and embracing the level playing field of the Kingdom. Join us as we unpack what it means to be adopted into God's forever family.
Jesus' ministry reveals a cosmic battle between God's Spirit and the forces of evil. Jesus challenges us to choose sides, root our lives in Christ, and align with the Spirit's mission of renewal through humility and surrender.
