Matthew 9:27-28 "Have Mercy"
Matthew the tax collector is called to come and follow Jesus, and then they gather at Matthew's house with other tax collectors, and sinners for a meal. The Pharisees see this and question the disciples of Jesus why Jesus would eat with tax collectors and sinners? Is Jesus doing this to show that He cares about them? Is being with them condoning their behavior? Or is there a greater reason why Jesus associates and eats with tax collectors and sinners. And what does that mean for how Jesus connects with us?

Pastor Kurt Hoover gives us the word "Harvest" to study from Matthew 9!
9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. 10 And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with Jesus and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 12 But when he heard this, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners." 18 While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." 19 And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. 20 Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, 21 for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well." 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that moment. 23 When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 26 And the report of this spread through all of that district.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Matthew 9, in which Matthew narrates his conversion. Jesus has a wide mission field—all sinners everywhere—but a narrow mission: he comes to raise the dead to new life.

What does it mean to be sent into the world as participants in God's work? Peter Walsh and Rob Schwartz discuss the connection between proclamation and action, Jesus' deep compassion for those who are "harassed and helpless," and the transition from being disciples (learners) to apostles (those who are sent).Questions for Further DiscussionThemes and ApplicationHow do we recognize God's call even when we feel unprepared?Why might Jesus choose ordinary and imperfect people to carry out extraordinary work?What does it mean to move from being a disciple who learns to an apostle who is sent?Personal Reflection QuestionsWhen have you felt called to do something before you felt fully prepared?Which aspect of Jesus' ministry comes most naturally to you: teaching, serving, encouraging, healing, advocating, or something else?What gives you endurance when faithfulness becomes challenging?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsHow can compassion move us from observation to participation in another person's struggle?How do we discern where our energy is best spent and where it may be time to move on?What role does prayer play in sustaining people who are engaged in difficult or demanding work?How can we remain both "wise as serpents and innocent as doves" in a polarized world?Learn more about St. Mark's at https://www.stmarksnewcanaan.org
Matthew 9:18-22 "Crisis Situations and Interruptions"
Rev. John DeBevoise, Sara Mickelson, and Rev. Bill Hull look at Matthew 9:35-10:8, (9-23) for Proper 6 (11) (Year A) - Recorded June 9 for June 14, 2026
In Matthew 9 and 10, Jesus looks out at a world of harassed and helpless sheep and responds not with more demands, but with compassion and the proclamation of the kingdom. In this episode we explore the difference between teaching and preaching, why miracles point beyond themselves, and how Christ sends his disciples with his own authority to deliver what they themselves first received. Following the emphasis of Gerhard Forde, the heart of the mission is not moral improvement or religious achievement, but announcing to lost sheep that the kingdom of heaven has come near in Jesus Christ.GOSPEL Matthew 9:35-10:835 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."1 Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. 2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim the good news, "The kingdom of heaven has come near.' 8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.

Title: Commissioned to CollideSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this Sunday message, Pastor Nate Holdridge walks through Matthew 9:35–10:15, where the compassionate King who has been colliding with darkness begins to multiply that work through ordinary people. Jesus looks out over crowds that are harassed and helpless—sheep without a shepherd—and is moved with a gut-level compassion that becomes the engine of everything that follows (Matthew 9:36). Rather than rushing to strategize, he commands his followers to pray that the Lord of the harvest would thrust laborers into the field, then forms a strikingly diverse band of twelve and sends them out to represent him in his own self-giving way (Matthew 10:1–8). Pastor Nate shows how the mission still flows downhill from Christ's heart rather than uphill toward God's approval, and how the same King who once sent the Twelve commissions us today to carry his kingdom into the dark places around us. A warm, gospel-centered call to see ourselves not as spectators of Jesus, but as participants in his ongoing collision with darkness.Link to Sermon Notes

Can Jesus really take a sinner and use him for gospel purposes? Well, if the stories in the pages of Scripture have anything to say about it, absolutely. For Jesus, it's not about where you've been or even where you are, but where he can take you. Pastor Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith on June 6, 2026.

The mercy of God does not have a time stamp or a job description. His mercy on the cross is sure, and we can't show mercy better than Him. Point to the cross of Jesus in your life and the lives of others, regardless of how it looks, and God will honor your faith. Have a blessed day! “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”- Matthew 9:13. #WhatJesusdesires#Hisbloodavailedforme
Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Sinners in Need of Healing, Matthew 9.9-13 Download When Jesus called Matthew to be his disciples, the Pharisees were upset that the was a great feast in the aftermath. All kinds of various sinners they didn't care for were having a meal with Jesus. Jesus' response is one we all know so well, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.” All those at the feast knew they were sinners and Jesus' presence is one that can begin their healing. We, too, as sinners need healing from Jesus outwardly and inwardly. May we have eyes to see that we are in great need and have no righteousness or health on our own.Image: Christ Healing the Sick, anonymous icon, rights unknown.

At first glance, the three stories we heard in Matthew 9:9-13,18-26 don't have much in common. We have a tax collector, a woman with a bleeding disorder, and a man with a sick daughter. What could they possibly have in common? If we look deeper, we find that they are all sinners, or sick people.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

In Matthew 9, Jesus walks straight past the people who think they have it together and calls a tax collector, dines with sinners, heals the unclean, and raises the dead—revealing what God actually desires: mercy, not sacrifice. In this episode we explore how every character in the story is defined not by their effort or worthiness, but by Christ's action toward them, from Matthew leaving the tax booth to the woman who trusts Jesus can make her well. Following the insight of Martin Luther, this text turns religion upside down: the sick don't heal themselves, the dead don't raise themselves, and sinners don't save themselves—Jesus does. GOSPEL Matthew 9:9-13, 18-269 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.10 And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”18 While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader of the synagogue came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. 20 Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well. 23 When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 26 And the report of this spread throughout that district.
