Matthew 19:16-20:16 | David Lawrence | July 4th, 2025

Daily Dose of Hope June 30, 2025   Scripture - Matthew 19   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you with humility and expectation as we start a new week.  Thank you for another morning, another day, another chance to be a change agent in our world, your world.  Guide us, Lord.  Guide our words, actions, and thoughts.  We want to be more like you.  Help us see others as you see them.  We love you.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we dive into Matthew 19.   Jesus and his disciples have begun to make the journey to Judea; they are heading to Jerusalem. And Jesus is using this time to teach about what it means to follow him. Jesus is turning everything upside down in his teachings: to follow him means renouncing the things that the world values. In this chapter, we see Jesus touch on how following him will affect how we behave in the most fundamental parts of our lives.   He starts by teaching on divorce, making the point that marriage is not simply a contract, but it's a creation of God and both men and women are equal partners in the marriage. The Pharisees are trying to “test” Jesus, meaning they ask a leading question designed to trap him into saying something that will discredit his public reputation. They ask whether a man can legally divorce his wife for any reason at all, and this was actually a specific debate that was happening among first century Jewish rabbis.  In Deuteronomy, the law allows a man to divorce his wife if he finds some “indecency” or “something offensive” in her.  That's a bit vague.  Something offensive could include gaining weight during pregnancy or finding someone more attractive.  And while the different rabbis argued over this, the bottom line was that men could divorce women for basically anything.  But, not shocking, women did not have the same rights.   Now, the Pharisees want Jesus to enter this specific debate.  He's God and he can see through their words.  Jesus goes back to God's original intent on marriage, in the Garden but before the fall.  The two become one.  It's a strong and intimate bond.  Thus, there isn't an easy or painless way for this bond to be broken.  It's going to cause tremendous pain.  God's will is for marriage to continue without this breakage.  Jesus is basically saying that, in God's Kingdom, marriage is a covenant between the man, the woman, and God.  It's a sacred commitment that can't be flippantly broken.  Please know that by making this argument, Jesus was protecting women.  They were the ones hurt by the previous arrangement.    Jesus goes on to teach about children–parents were bringing children to him to be blessed and the disciples scolded them. Jesus intervenes and says to let the little children come to me and then makes this stunning point that we all must become like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a point that Jesus repeatedly makes! Children, in those days, weren't seen as having any value. But Jesus places tremendous value on them. Jesus' point is that to follow him, we have to become like little children–vulnerable, powerless, needing someone else to provide safety and sustenance. Again, he is turning things upside down.   Then, we come to the last portion of the chapter.  This will seem familiar, as we also covered this story in Mark.  A man comes up to Jesus and asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”   Jesus says, “Well, you need to follow all the commandments.”  He then lists out the various commandments and the man simply says, “Yes, I've done all those things since I was a boy.”   Then, Jesus looks at the man and says that to be perfect, he must go and sell everything he owns and give it all to the poor. The text says that the man's face fell. He went away sad because he had great wealth.  This is the irony. The children who possess nothing are not told that the kingdom of God is theirs; yet this man who possesses everything still lacks something! Only when he sells all he has—only when he becomes like a vulnerable child—will he possess everything. But he isn't willing to do that. He decides to walk away from Jesus. The man wasn't expecting to have to make that kind of sacrifice. He had no idea following Jesus would be so hard.   The disciples are really confused by this. At that time, most people believed that being wealthy was a sign of God's blessing. Here, Jesus is saying that this man has to sell everything and give it to the poor. And that's when Jesus says the really, really hard thing...It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And the disciples ask “then who possibly can be saved?” Jesus says, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”   I don't know about you but I find it very unsettling to read this passage. Let's go deeper: Jesus could look at this young man he loved and see that what he cherished most were his possessions. I think there is a warning in here for us. Jesus is not condemning having resources. There are others in the Gospels with great wealth that Jesus doesn't tell them to do the same thing. But he is making it clear---having wealth can get in the way of our relationship with him. When we have resources, our tendency is to rely on ourselves, to hold on to our money, to not fully submit our lives to him. It's hard to approach God as a vulnerable little child (think about how children totally depend on their caregivers for everything), when we don't feel so humble and vulnerable. The greatest enemies to faith and obedience are self-satisfaction and pride. And we live in a culture where these things are held up as ideals.   Jesus is saying that being a disciple is not about following a list of rules. If that were the case, then the rich young ruler would have been a shoo-in. He is saying, it's about denying yourself, picking up your cross, and following him alone. And we don't like to deny ourselves. We don't like to be uncomfortable. It means looking at your life and renouncing any part of it that gets in the way of your walk with Jesus. That means that following Jesus isn't one part of our life; following Jesus isn't simply one activity in a busy life filled with lots of great stuff. No, following Jesus means radically reorienting our life. Jesus comes first and our devotion to Jesus as Lord and Savior affects every other area of our lives. Our dedication to Jesus affects how we treat other people, it affects how we spend our money, it affects how we spend our time, it affects how we behave. Following Jesus means a radical adjustment to priorities. It means worrying less about what the world values, and focusing on what Jesus values.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Matthew 19:1-15 | David Lawrence | June 27th, 2025

Why did Jesus' thoughts on divorce and marriage cause his disciples to question whether anyone can get married?Why did Jesus respond with this thing about three kinds of eunuchs?Does being a not-dickish partner render someone a kind of eunuch in the eyes of patriarchy?Does Jesus reinforce patriarchal ideas of marriage or deconstruct them?How sexually engaged were eunuchs in Jesus' day?How do our inherited gender binaries get in the way of interpreting these stories?Who is the more prominent antagonist in the Bible: the devil or the rich?Our guest co-host is Kalie Hargrove (she/her).

Divorce & Remarriage | Matthew 19:1-12 | 6-22-25 by Clear Water Church

To see God's plan for marriage, look back to creation and forward to heaven.

The Coming King

Jesus demonstrates the true meaning of ministry by welcoming children when His disciples tried to turn them away, revealing that life's interruptions are often God's divine appointments for meaningful connection and service.• "Let the little children come to me" challenges our tendency to prioritize tasks over people• Jesus is never in a hurry despite having the most important mission in history• The prayer "Lord, give me the right interruptions today" has a 100% success rate• True kingdom faith resembles childlike dependence, not self-reliance• Our interruptions are not disruptions to ministry but the ministry itself• Psalm 131 depicts spiritual maturity as having a soul quieted like a child in a mother's lap• VBS offers opportunity to welcome children just as Jesus didAs VBS week approaches, prepare to open hearts and doors wide, saying "let the little children come" regardless of interruptions, knowing that even one child coming to faith makes every moment worthwhile.

In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 19:27-30, where Peter asks what reward the disciples will receive for leaving everything to follow Jesus. He explains that while "leaving everything" is a heart matter and a call to radical commitment and surrender of ownership of one's life to Jesus, not necessarily a physical change of profession or location for everyone, Jesus promises significant future rewards, including reigning with Him in the "renewal of all things" (palegenesia) and receiving "a hundred times more" alongside eternal life.

In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 19:16-26. He teaches about the rich young man's encounter with Jesus, emphasizing that true discipleship involves identifying and surrendering one's "one thing" or idol—which often serves as a source of security, hope, and meaning—and reorienting one's entire life to Jesus, because while entering the kingdom of God is impossible with man, all things are possible with God.

The Gospel of Matthew is a wonderful book, the first text in the New Testament, which gives us an exciting shift from the prophecies of the Old Testament to the fulfillment of those very prophecies in the person of Jesus. You are sure to be equipped and inspired as Jesus Himself shares about the hope we have, gives practical lessons for how to live life the way God intended, shows the love of God through miracles and healings, and makes a way for you to be reconciled to God for all eternity.  Join Jerry as he dives into Matthew and walks us through the life, ministry and profound teachings of Jesus.

Have you taken a hard look at where your time goes? In this challenging episode, Jesse Cope asks tough questions about our priorities, beginning with a simple but profound observation: time is our most precious commodity, and how we spend it reveals what we truly value.The heart of this episode explores the biblical understanding of marriage from Matthew 19, where Jesus teaches that divorce was never God's original plan. Cope uses a vivid metaphor of mixing two colors of Play-Doh to illustrate the concept of "cleaving" in marriage—becoming so fundamentally joined that separation becomes impossible. This stands in stark contrast to our culture's casual approach to marriage and no-fault divorce, which has normalized what God considers sacred.Moving from personal relationships to national identity, Cope shares the remarkable stories of Medal of Honor recipients Sylvester Antilak and Richard Antrim, whose extraordinary courage under fire exemplifies the highest American values. These accounts serve as both inspiration and rebuke to our cultural obsession with celebrities while forgetting genuine heroes who sacrificed everything.Drawing from Fox's Book of Martyrs, the podcast connects ancient Christian witnesses who refused to worship idols with our modern struggle to resist cultural pressures. Are we willing to be seen as different because we refuse to sacrifice our time to entertainment, sports, and other contemporary idols? Our perseverance through trials may be the very witness that brings others to faith.The episode concludes with powerful historical evidence of America's Christian foundations, including writings from early colonists who sought religious freedom to worship according to Scripture. Cope makes the sobering assertion that without a return to these principles, America cannot survive—no political solution alone can preserve liberty without a spiritual foundation.What would change if you realigned your priorities today? Listen, reflect, and consider what your use of time says about what you truly value.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
