Podcasts about Matthew 9

Fr. Mike reinforces Jesus' divinity as we read about how Jesus heals people physically, mentally, and spiritually and frees them from the enemy's kingdom of darkness. Fr. Mike also encourages us to not be afraid when we experience persecution and division for the sake of Christ, but to rather courageously carry the Cross.

Pastor Luke Simmons and Pastor Luke Troutt address the issue of violence in the world in a sermon titled "Crucial Questions in a Violent World."They shift from their ongoing series on the Seven Deadly Sins to provide guidance rooted in Scripture, focusing on Matthew 9:35-37. By exploring a theology of violence and delving into the reasons behind it, they offer a biblical perspective on how to process the current climate of unrest with godly wisdom.Through three crucial questions, they challenge believers to consider who narrates their world, how to love their enemies, and what actions to take in response to recent events. Join them in seeking a balance of soft hearts and steel spines in today's times.00:00 - Introduction07:53 - Origins of Violence11:00 - Father of Violence12:43 - Ministry of Violence16:46 - End of Violence25:20 - Three crucial questions**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and illness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'  Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and illness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.  (Matthew 9.35-38, 10.1-4, NIV)

How far would you go to touch Jesus? In Matthew 9, a desperate woman crawled through crowds despite bleeding for 12 years, while a grieving father defied his religious training to seek a miracle. Their desperate faith led to extraordinary encounters. The truth? You can have as much Jesus as you want, but never more than you pursue. Are you content being a spectator, or are you reaching for the hem of His garment?

Are you mourning what God is celebrating? Jesus compared His presence to a wedding feast—a time for joy, not fasting! When God shows up, everything changes. The old wineskins of religion can't contain the new wine of His Spirit. What old patterns are keeping you from experiencing the fullness of His kingdom?

When Jesus said 'Follow me,' Matthew left everything behind without hesitation. What would you leave behind to follow Jesus today? At the kingdom table, Jesus honors those society rejects. Are you creating barriers or building bridges to His presence? Discover what it truly means to choose mercy over sacrifice and find your place at the table where everyone belongs.

Which is easier: to say, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up and walk”? I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.' So he said to the paralysed man, ‘Get up, take your mat and go home.' Then the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man. As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. ‘Follow me,' he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?' On hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill. But go and learn what this means: “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.' Then John's disciples came and asked him, ‘How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?' (Matthew 9.5-14, NIV)

This sermon is a part of our King and His Kingdom series. If you live in the Raleigh area, we would like to invite you to join us in person on Sunday mornings at 9:15am or 11:00am. We look forward to worshiping together!

A synagogue leader came and knelt before Jesus and said, ‘My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.' Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.' Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,' he said, ‘your faith has healed you.' And the woman was healed at that moment. When Jesus entered the synagogue leader's house and saw the noisy crowd and the people playing pipes, he said, ‘Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.' But they laughed at him. After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. News of this spread through all that region. As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!' When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?' ‘Yes, Lord,' they replied. (Matthew 9.18-28, NIV)

One thing we as humans all have in common is that at one time or another, we have all felt desperate. Certainly, times of desperation come in varying degrees – but none of us escape moments where things seem so hopeless they seem impossible to deal with. In our times desperation, we will usually go all over the place looking for something or someone who can give us a glimmer of hope. That's just the nature of desperation…and it doesn't have to be a bad thing. One thing the Bible reveals, over and over again, is that God is fond of desperate people.This Sunday we'll be reading Matthew 9:18-38 and we'll discover some desperate people who go to the right place in their time of crisis. As we read about these people, we'll be looking at what it was that moved them to seek help from Jesus. We'll look at the compassion Jesus had on them, and we'll observe the faith that they expressed in Jesus' compassionate power.The synagogue ruler, the hemorrhaging woman and the two blind men all have their stories told in succession. Their expressions of faith are risky, scandalous and bold, but they are also desperate. How does Jesus respond to their desperation? Does Jesus demand anything but trust from those who approach him? It's important to remember that God's compassion comes before our need is ever known.When Jesus casts out a demon and a man was able to communicate when he hadn't been able to before – what are the two reactions recorded? If both groups of people saw the same miracle, what kept the Pharisees from believing Jesus' power was from God?The chapter culminates with a summary of what Jesus is up to with the Kingdom Project – and then we see his compassion for the multitudes who are oppressed by religion and not cared for by a Shepherd. He clearly is inviting us into the activity of harvesting a ripened field…but what does that metaphor mean to you? How do you believe we can be used in this “harvesting” activity?I hope you can join us this Sunday as we dig deeply into these fascinating accounts of Christ's power!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

The Israelites in the time of Jesus lived under the heavy hand of Roman rule. That context shapes so much of what we read in the gospels, influencing the meaning of scripture and the dynamics we see in the stories.This Sunday we'll read Matthew 9:9-17, about Jesus calling Matthew to be His disciple. At first glance, “Matthew the tax collector” may not strike us as anything unusual, perhaps just a profession that isn't well-liked. But for a first-century audience, those words would have been shocking.Tax collectors were not simply disliked. They were despised. They worked with Rome to oppress their own people, betraying their families, neighbors, and community. By overcharging and exploiting others, they grew wealthy while their fellow Israelites suffered. To hear that Jesus would not only speak to a tax collector, but call him to follow, was nothing short of scandalous.That is where the power of this passage lies. The betrayal and brokenness that Matthew represented highlights the radical nature of God's kingdom: Jesus steps toward the outcast, the despised, and even the betrayer, offering grace and transformation.Join us this Sunday as we study Matthew together, and discover how Jesus' call to Matthew reveals the shocking depth of God's mercy and how it continues to change our own lives today.Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

 Kyle and David examine how Jesus' compassion fuels his ministry.

What if the scariest thing God could do isn't punish you, but simply leave? The Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart after He disrupted their economy, and He did—without argument. Are there areas in your life where you're subtly asking Jesus to leave? Do you want His healing without His lordship? His blessings without His presence? There is no freedom without surrender.

In Matthew 9:1-8, Jesus returns to Capernaum and heals a paralyzed man, but not before addressing his sins. This story highlights the importance of true friendship, as the man's friends brought him to Jesus. It also shows that Jesus prioritizes spiritual healing over physical symptoms, challenging religious systems that limit God's mercy. The crowd reacts with awe, while religious leaders resist. The passage encourages us to seek both spiritual and physical healing and to bring others to Jesus for true transformation.

The Messiah loosens tongues & open eyes, just as was promised & prophesied.Matthew is building from & towards a Kingdom Choice (Ch. 7:15-27 & Ch. 11-12) for each of us.The Son of David is still opening the eyes of the blind.May we truly SEE Him today!

Main Point: Pray that God would send out more gospel laborers.1. Because the Gospel of the Kingdom is for everyone.2. Because Jesus has compassion for His sheep.3. Because many will respond.4. Because few have gone.5. Because the harvest is His.

David and Kyle talk about the danger of filtering out Biblical ideas that don't fit nicely in our western worldview, and think about what it looks like to let the Bible shape our perception of reality.

Matthew 9:35-10:15 - The Harvest Is Ready | Kingdom Come Bible Study Part 18 by Tim Hatch

Matthew 9:11-13

Matthew is writing this so that we would not just see, but believe and receive Jesus as Messiah - fully capable and fully compassionate. Jesus is God, and God is good all the time. May our faith increase in every gap as we trust Him because of who He is, and may His glory spread through the telling of His Story.
