Podcasts about Matthew 2

What does it mean to truly prioritize your faith? Jesse Cope dives deep into this question, challenging listeners to honestly evaluate whether their actions align with their professed beliefs. Drawing from an Easter sermon, he shares a powerful quote from Oswald Chambers: "Faith that is sure of itself is not faith. Only faith in God is faith." This thought-provoking perspective invites us to embrace the authentic nature of faith—not as certainty without doubt, but as trust despite uncertainty.The episode explores the principle that genuine passion inevitably leads to performance. When we're truly passionate about our faith, marriage, or any pursuit, we actively demonstrate it through consistent action. Jesse poses a compelling question: "If we were put on trial for being passionate about God, would there be enough evidence to convict us?" This imagery serves as a mirror for self-examination, prompting listeners to consider whether their daily choices reflect their stated priorities.A fascinating examination of George Washington's prayer journal reveals the first president's profound humility and complete reliance on Christ for redemption. This historical insight directly challenges modern narratives suggesting America's founders intended to create a secular nation. How could men who integrated faith into every aspect of their personal lives deliberately exclude those principles from the foundations of government? The contradiction is striking and thought-provoking.The podcast concludes with a powerful metaphor comparing Christians to soldiers behind enemy lines, tasked with rescuing as many souls as possible. Even saving one person makes the mission worthwhile, and God always makes room for more. This encouraging perspective reminds us that our purpose extends beyond ourselves to the spiritual wellbeing of others.Join the American Soul Podcast community by subscribing, sharing with friends who might benefit from these discussions, and keeping Jesse and the podcast in your prayers as they continue to explore the intersection of faith, history, and contemporary American life.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, ; AB church Lausanne

We continue our study in Matthew with the chronology of the boy Jesus - but it is so much more than that!  Scripture is being fulfilled - Jesus is the new Israel.  

We continue our study in Matthew with the visit of the Magi from the east - they've, even they've, come to worship the Son of David. 

Know Him And Live Like Him By Loving Others Matthew 23:5 5“Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comMatthew 2 Matthew documents the events immediately following Jesus' birth. From the worshipping magi to the conniving Herod to the angel sending the family to Egypt, everything culminates in the murderous rampage of the king killing all the young boys in Bethlehem. Following Herod's death, an angel directs Jesus' family back to Nazareth. The significance of this chapter is found in the prophecies. Micah states a Ruler will come from Bethlehem. Hosea tells of God's Son coming from Egypt. Jeremiah teaches there will be weeping at the loss of children. An unnamed prophet predicts that the Messiah will be called a Nazarene. Matthew is aligning the story of Jesus with the prophets of old. This would carry tremendous weight for the Jew and should demonstrate God's design and control to us as well.  God controls how things come together for the good of His will and His people. Before Jesus was born, God knew all things. He used prophets to confirm His power to us. Life was not easy for those whom God chose to be a part of this incredible story. Circumstances were hard for Joseph and Mary, and certainly for families who lost their children to Herod's wrath. But God was working on something beautiful and eternal. You are eternally blessed as the result of so much suffering and loss. God allowed this to save and bless you. Be thankful for those who labored in faith to bring about our Lord's victory and stand prepared to struggle in His honor.  Compassionate Father, thank You for the word of the prophets, confirming our faith in Jesus Christ. Thank You for the examples of sacrifice throughout the life of Jesus that have graciously invited us into the redemptive story with Him. Will you give us the wisdom to see how much you endured to establish spiritual life and hope? Help us to be grateful for Your willingness to keep working on us, even amid the efforts of evil men. And may we return thanks by being worshipful and obedient like the magi in the days of Jesus' birth. Thought Questions: -       How does it strengthen your faith to see the story of Christ being revealed through Old Testament prophecies? What do they prove? -       What do you learn about faithfulness from the hardships of Joseph and Mary? What should you expect in your life of devotion to God? -       How can you see God's power and goodness when babies were allowed to die at Herod's hand? How does it cast your eyes more toward eternity?

Christmas isn't about material presents. Jesus, the Savior of the world, was born in a smelly manger so that we could receive the real gift—eternal life. Yet many of us go about the Christmas season embracing traditions and rejecting the Gift. We look everywhere but to God for happiness. This year let's accept God's great gift.

Have you ever desperately wondered: “Where did my joy go? And how do I get it back?” If yes, you're in good company, friend.Today's prayer of REST is based on Matthew 2:10: "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." This season, we're asking God to restore to us the joy of our salvation, and each week we'll base our prayers on a different Bible passage that speaks of joy. Together, we'll ask the Lord to do a new work in our hearts as we: Recite God's GoodnessExpress Our NeedinessSeek His Stillness, and Trust His FaithfulnessThroughout these guided prayers episodes and their corresponding “Behind-the-Scenes Conversations” with Asheritah and Hannah, you'll discover God's promise of delight to His children and learn how to claim His joy as your birthright—the promised fruit from God's Spirit as we invite Him to do His good work in us.This season of Praying for Joy is based on my brand new book – Delighting in Jesus: Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out, which is now available wherever books are sold. (Thanks for your support: https://amzn.to/3Zb5HAi) Until we meet again, may you find much joy in Jesus, the One who delights in you! 

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Today, Emma Dotter talks with Ben Krejci about the foreshadowing of salvation being for both the Jew and the Gentile seen in the wise men's visit to the baby Jesus as seen in Matthew 2:7-12.  We hope you will join us for Christmas at Watermark! Information at the link: https://www.watermark.org/christmas

What do we do when the story of Christmas has become repetitive and familiar to us? Today our very own Emma Dotter and Lauren Atkinson discuss Matthew 2:1-6 and the anticipation of the Wise Men. Our response to the story of Christmas should mirror them as they respond rightly to the incarnation of the Christ.  Scriptures Referenced: Genesis 1:1-27
