Communitas: Marked by the BloodJesus declares that the family of God is all those who do the will of His Father in heaven.Common Master = FamilyCommon Mission = Will
Main Point: Those who follow Jesus are part of His family.1. Who belongs to Jesus' family?2. Those who do the Father's will.
Matthew 12
In this episode, David and Todd explore Matthew 12:46–50, where Jesus redefines the true family of God as those who follow Him and do the Father's will. They unpack how this reshapes our understanding of church as a spiritual family marked by sacrificial love, shared identity, and committed discipleship.
Memorial of the Presentation of the Virgin MaryMatthew 12:46-50And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said,"Here are my mother and my brothers.For whoever does the will of my heavenly Fatheris my brother, and sister, and mother."
Our words serve as spiritual health monitors, revealing the true condition of our hearts. Jesus teaches that just as a tree is known by its fruit, our inner spiritual condition is revealed through our outward words and actions. The Pharisees focused on external appearances while neglecting internal transformation, living an outside-in faith rather than inside-out. Genuine character isn't about trying harder but training wisely and becoming a Yes, Lord person who surrenders completely to God. Our words don't just slip out - they overflow from what's stored in our hearts, and we'll be held accountable for every careless word we speak.
The resurrection is the ultimate sign of Jesus's identity, and it's sufficient to lead to saving faith. But missing the Savior right in front of you will leave you worse off than before.
It is our prayer that today's word would encourage and challenge to walk out your faith in Jesus, shine brightly in darkness and experience Kingdom impact in all you do! Stay connected with Belmont Church on our Facebook page, website or on the Church Center App.

In a world full of opinions and feedback, the most important question remains: Who is Jesus Christ? Moving beyond human approval to divine truth, Jesus demonstrates that success isn't measured by crowd size but by obedience to God's will. The mathematical impossibility of fulfilled prophecies confirms His identity as the chosen Messiah. Jesus came not as a conquering ruler but as a suffering servant to bring biblical justice - both penalty and provision - to all nations. His compassion for the hurting is evident in His promise not to break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick. Understanding Jesus' true identity transforms our own identity, mission, and demeanor, offering hope to everyone regardless of their background.
What we treasure is revealed in our words.
Main Point: Your confession concerning Jesus reveals the condition of your heart.1. Your words reveal your heart.2. Your words will be judged by God.

When Jesus heals a demon-possessed man, the Pharisees accuse Him of working for Satan. This is a willful rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony about the Son. Jesus warns that this unpardonable sin is the final, hardened refusal to see God's saving work in Christ. He then reveals that His true family is not defined by blood but is created by God through faith in Him. The Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 12:22-50. To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitylutheranministries.org.

Who has the right to define God's Law? In this explosive confrontation, Jesus makes the ultimate claim: He is Lord of the Sabbath, possessing an authority greater than the Temple itself. This isn't an argument for breaking rules, but a revelation of who He is. He is the one to whom all Scripture points, the gentle Servant who fulfills the Law perfectly for us, delivering the mercy that the Pharisees' legalism could never provide. The Rev. Dr. Keith Haney, Assistant to the President for Missions, Human Care, and Stewardship in the Iowa West District—LCMS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 12:1-21.

One thing about human society throughout history is, we love to label stuff…especially people. It's usually born from a quest of trying to get a grasp of who our fellow human is by generalizing them. It's easier to interact with someone if we can fit them neatly into our categories. But this is, of course, a broken way to relate to people. In our study of Matthew, we're going to read a theme that is carried over from last week…that of people trying to get a handle on who Jesus is. We'll be reading Matthew 12:38-50.In the last section, Jesus challenged those who heard him to make a decision, one way or the other, and neutrality was not an option. Carrying the theme through, Jesus knew there were a lot of people wanting more proof that he was Messiah via some supernatural sign from heaven, so he did what any self-respecting Messiah would do; he called them all evil. Kinda' cool if you think about what terrible marketing that is.Jesus mentions the “sign of Jonah”, which has had a lot of people theorizing about its meaning for the last 2,000 years. There are some obvious parallels between Jonah and Jesus and his resurrection. What do you think the “sign of Jonah” is?Why would the people of Nineveh and the Queen of the South, both pagan, gentile peoples, have a place to condemn Jesus' generation of chosen people?How did Jesus identify who his family of chosen people are? What do we make of that when it comes to understanding our own identity as followers of Jesus?There is some really profound insight about who Jesus is and who we are in this section – I hope you can join us as we explore this text together!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.
Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath, reveals God's heart for the Sabbath & invites us into a life of REST, reflection, & reward in Him.

Fr. Mike explains the many parables we hear today in Matthew, including the return of the unclean spirit, and the danger of ornate souls. He emphasizes that when God sweeps the sin out of our souls, we must replace it with virtue, otherwise our souls remain empty without a relationship with God.
