Introduction to Matthew - Matthew 1:1

Continuing in Matthew 12, we are seeing the continuing opposition of the religious rulers against Jesus and His disciples.Dr. Mitchell will speak to us about this. The opposition came to a point where these leaders plan to kill the Jesus. But the Lord knowing this still went about healing many who followed Him.In view of this, Matthew shows how Jesus fulfilled another O.T. Scripture, Isaiah 42:1-3 where God calls Jesus His Servant whom He has chosen and in Him the Gentiles will hope. Matthew is showing us that Jesus having been rejected by the rulers of Israel, the Savior will now be the hope of the Gentiles. Matthew writes of Jesus' casting out a blind and mute demon.Dr. Mitchell brings out the blind and dumb spiritual condition of the Pharisees.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 12:14.

Our study In Matthew chapter 12 begins in verse 1 with Dr. Mitchell here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast. In the first 13 verses, Dr. Mitchell speaks to us concerning our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus has to rebuke the Pharisees for their critical attitude toward Jesus' disciples who were hungry and were picking and eating grain on the Sabbath day. Matthew records the words of the savior who needed to remind these Pharisees of the O.T. Scripture 1 Sam. 21:3-6. David the King did that was not lawful to do when he was hungry. He and his men ate consecrated bread. Our Lord Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.Dr. Mitchell centers our attention on the real purpose of the sabbath. There was a distinct difference between the Pharisees and Jesus as to it's purpose. Let's turn to Matthew 12 with Dr. Mitchell.

September 28, 2025 The Gospel of Matthew Matthew 18:15-20 Scott Mitchell

In verses 25 thru 30 of Matthew 11, we see a glimpse of our Lord rejoicing in prayer before His Father in heaven. This is a revelation to Matthew himself of the intimate relationship between Jesus the Son of God and God His Father.In this passage, we see the differences between the wise and prudent and the children whose faith is in the revelation of God.Likewise, Dr. Mitchell says, the Father reveals the Son, just as Jesus told Peter in Mt.16:17, and the Son reveals the Father. Jesus said the source of the revelation to Peter of Jesus as the Messiah the Son of the living God, is from the Father. And it is upon this rock, this revelation from God Himself, that Jesus builds His church.Come to Jesus and learn from Him about His Father.On the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 11:27-30.

Matthew chapter 11 verse 20-27 will be our focus. Matthew writes of Jesus in two portions. First, verses 20-24, Jesus denounces cities where most of His miracles were done. Why His denunciation? It was because they did not repent. These cities had more light at that time in history than any other time before or since. Jesus was Himself personally present but not believed, no matter what. Then, in verses 25-27, Matthew writes our Lord's words - a prayer to His Father, who is Lord of heaven and earth. In this prayer, recorded by Matthew, Jesus rejoiced over the fact that God reveals truth to believers rather than to intellectuals. Rather than rationalizations from an unregenerate mind, faith in God's revelation, Jesus Himself, as written in the Word of God, is what is pleasing to God. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 11:20-27.

Matthew ends the 2nd section of Jesus' teachings in chapter 10. Now in chapters 11 and 12, he next writes his inspired narration of certain events of our Lord's ministry.In chapter 11, Matthew writes about John the Baptist who was now in prison. Here we have Jesus' words to John and Jesus' words about John. Some people remember playing cowboys and indians, or spacemen and aliens as children. In verse 17, Matthew writes of children also playing childhood games. These children played weddings and funerals, but they criticized those who didn't play along. Matthew writes that this is what Jesus compared this generation to. Verses 18-19 show how that generation had a very critical attitude. John the Baptist was criticized for how he did not live, and Jesus was criticized for how he did live, even though both lifestyles were Scriptural!Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 11:1.

Our study in Matthew continues in chapter 10 verses 32-42. In these 10 verses we hear our Lord Jesus continuing to give His twelve disciples instructions. These verses have to do with everyone who acknowledges Christ before people, but doing so brings opposition. Jesus prepares them that this opposition would even come from one's own relatives. Therefore, one's trust and loyalty to Christ would be tested. As Dr. Mitchell says it, Christ must be first in one's affection and devotion. The Apostle Paul writes the same thing in Colossians 1:18, "And He Christ, is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He may have the preeminence." That is, Christ is to have first place in one's heart.Open your Bible to Matthew 10:32. Here's Dr. Mitchell with the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is studying our way through the book of Matthew. We are now in chapter 10. This lesson begins with verse 16. In this passage, Jesus sends His twelve disciples out to announce the coming of the Messiah but only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. In doing so, the Lord shares with them what they would be encountering in their journey. Their testimony concerning the coming Messiah and the kingdom of heaven is resisted both by religious groups and governmental authorities.Jesus assured them that the Spirit of their Father would give them the words to speak before these authorities. Here our Lord assures us that God will give us the words needed at the time needed to bear witness of our Savior. Let's turn in our Bibles to Matthew 10 verse 16 with Dr. Mitchell.

September 21, 2025 The Gospel of Matthew Matthew 18:10-14 Scott Mitchell

Matthew 10 is the second time Matthew writes Jesus' teaching as a full non stop discourse. The Sermon on the mount chapters 5-7 was the first time.Chapter 10 is the second teaching section of Jesus. Before we finish the book of Matthew, he will have recorded 5 separate sections of Jesus' teachings.In chapter 10 of Matthew, Dr. Mitchell corrects a misunderstanding some Christians have about this chapter. He will point out the fact that the twelve disciples became apostles who were then to go only to the lost sheep of Israel and not to the gentiles of that time. They were to preach the gospel of the kingdom.Their mission changes after the cross and the resurrection when they would go into all the nations and preach the gospel of the grace of God.Open to Matthew 10 with Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In these last 4 verses of Matthew 9, we see the Lord moved with compassion for the multitude of the people. He said they were like sheep without a shepherd. He said they were harassed and helpless. According the Psalm 23, the Good shepherd takes care of His sheep and heals their wounds and rests them in quiet places and leads them in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. This Jesus is the good shepherd, the great shepherd and the chief shepherd.Dr. Mitchell exhort us to pray that the Lord of the harvest would send out laborers into His harvest. There as still many who have not heard the good news of the complete forgiveness of sins and of being fully just before God Himself thru faith in Jesus Christ. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew chapter 9 verses 35-38.

After Jesus raised the daughter of Jairus, the synagogue official, then two blind men, following the Lord, were crying out loud for mercy from the Son of David. This is the title given the Messiah in the O.T. which our author, Matthew, also wrote in the first verse of this gospel.Dr. Mitchell reminds us that Jesus said in Luke 4:18 that He was anointed to proclaim recovery of sight to the blind and to set at liberty, those who are oppressed.The Savior did both of these things and they are written here in this passage before us, Matthew 9:27-35. So Jesus once again proves His Messiahship.The Lord proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom. Today we proclaim the gospel of the grace of God which is Jesus Christ and Him crucified, buried, raised and appearing.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 9:27-35.

In this lesson, Matthew 9:18ff, we see Jesus. Jesus does two things. He heals a woman and then raises the daughter of the ruler.In this study we see Jesus, while dining in Matthew's home, graciously responding to a man, a synagogue ruler, who begged Him to come and lay His hand on his daughter who had just died so that she would live.So, Jesus a rose and followed Him.But as our Lord was on the way, there comes a brief interruption. To the ruler this must have seemed an eternity since his was a matter of utmost urgency. Do we not often times feel an urgency from God? It is interesting to note that our Savior seems to make a difference here between being dead and sleeping. Dr. Mitchell will explain more about this difference in this lesson.Let's turn with Dr. Mitchell to Matthew 9:18 here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Our study In Matthew chapter 9 continues with verses 10 thru 17. In these verses our Lord is confronted by the religious leaders concerning His social interaction of eating and drinking with the tax collectors and sinners. Jesus said in response, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. He then quotes Hosea 6:6, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice". For I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Repentance being a change of mind so as to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. He desires a relationship with you and me and our fellowship. Jesus has said,Rev.3:20 "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and eat with him and he with me."Let's join Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 9:10-17.

September 14, 2025 The Gospel of Matthew Matthew 18:5-9 Scott Mitchell

Matthew chapter 9 verses 1 thru 9 will be the focus of our study with Dr. Mitchell in this lesson.As we heard, Jesus, once again passed over the sea of Galilee to his own city. When He arrived, some people brought a paralytic to Him. So Jesus tells the man, Your sins are forgiven. Jesus, being omniscient, knew the evil thinking in the hearts of the scribes who were accusing Jesus of blasphemy. So, it was necessary for our Lord to demonstrate His authority to forgive sins. That is just what He did before them all.In verse 9 Matthew writes of his own call from Jesus to follow Him. Matthew, sitting at the tax booth, arose and followed Jesus. As a result, you and I are reading his gospel right now.Here's Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 9:1-9 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Dr. Mitchell continues our study in Matthew chapter 8 verses 28-34. After the storm ceased , Matthew writes that they arrive in the country of the Gadarenes where two demon possessed men confront Jesus. Jesus did not confront them, they confronted Jesus.It is interesting to note that these demons knew who Jesus was. They called Jesus the Son of God. They were afraid of Jesus fearing that He had come to torment them before their time of judgment. So, they begged Jesus to send them into the nearby herd of swine, and Jesus permitted them to go.So, Dr. Mitchell asks us, "Do you know Jesus as your judge?" When Jesus comes again to this earth, He does come as judge. But before that time, now, you can know this Jesus as savior before His judgment.Here is Dr. Mitchell, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 8:28-34.

In this study in Matthew chapter 8 verses 18 thru 27, Jesus makes two trips by boat.First, Jesus deals with a scribe and a half hearted disciple who wanted to follow Him, in verse 18 thru 23. Dr. Mitchell discourses on the motivations of these two would-be disciples while Jesus' disciples continued to follow Jesus.So where does Jesus lead these disciples? He leads them into a storm and they became afraid. But who did they turn to? They turned to Jesus in the midst of their storm. Do you and I do this when the waves get rough in our life? The Lord Jesus is here when we turn to Him and call on Him in our present distress. Let's turn to Matthew 8:18 with Dr. Mitchell as he shares comforting passages from the Scriptures to encourage our faith in God here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In chapter 8, Matthew writes of our Lord healing the servant of a Roman centurion. He really cared for his servant-slave. Here Matthew presents the first Gentile in his book. This centurion's faith was unique. Here is what Jesus said in verse 10, "Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith".Why did Jesus say this? The centurion believed Jesus could heal his servant with just a word. No need to go to the servant or to touch him. Jesus just spoke the word and he was healed. What power that is?When the Lord healed Peter's mother-in-law with a touch and later cast out demons, Matthew quotes, the O.T for the 17th time. "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases" found in Isaiah 53:4. Here Jesus fulfills another Messianic prophecy as the Messiah.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 8:5.

Our lesson begins in Matthew chapter 8. We will be looking into verses 1 thru 4 here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.Dr. Mitchell points out the power of our Lord Jesus in this chapter. Jesus has power over disease, over demons, and over nature.So in this study, we see Jesus displaying power over disease by healing a leper. Leprosy is a picture of the defilement of sin. Jesus' healing this leprous man demonstrates His authority to forgive sins. This act showed Jesus as the Messiah spoken about in the O.T. The Messiah would be able to heal and He did.Jesus is able to heal the sick of spirit, of soul and of body. Jesus has died and shed His blood to cleanse from sin and guilt. The one who reaches out to Him in prayer and faith can receive that forgiveness and cleansing before God Himself. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 8:1-4.

To finish out chapter 7 of Matthew with this lesson, Dr. Mitchell begins with verse 23. He speaks again of the false prophets. He presents the true and wise criteria for discerning the message of one who preaches and teaches the Scriptures. You can be sure sure it all centers around the Word of God and the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. So, listen carefully for these criteria.Next, looking at verses 24 thru 29, Matthew writes Jesus' words concerning two foundations. Jesus compares two men who built two houses on two different foundations. One built on the rock, the other built on the sand. Which stands the storms of life in this world? Is it Jesus Christ and the Word of God? Which foundation are you building on? Is it firm, stable and unmovable or is it moving, shifting and unstable? Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 7:23-29.

Matthew chapter 7 verses 15 thru 23 takes on a different tone as Jesus presents warnings to those hearing His words. He warns us concerning false prophets. He speaks concerning their disguise, their fruit and their destiny. These false prophets come from among those who are traveling on the wide and broad way. Dr. Mitchell points out that these false prophets and teachers come in among God's people.So, how does one know who these are? Dr. Mitchell shares a number of Scriptures that helps one to discern what is of the truth and who is not. And the fruit of their words and their deeds leads one to ask: Does that one know Jesus as their savior.You can be assured that Jesus Christ, who is the truth, will be the deciding factor in one's discernment of the true and the false as Dr. Mitchell tells us on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 7:15-23.

Heart of a Man is a men's community based our Carmel, IN. We exist to deeply connect men with a brotherhood equally committed to learning, growing, walking through life together and deepening in faith. Our mission is to build men into character-driven, committed disciples of Jesus, equipped to forge healthy, life-giving relationships at home, at work, and in their communities. Today's lesson is from Dr. Nicholas Piotrowski, President of Indianapolis Theological Seminary, where he walks us through the broader picture of the book of Matthew, why it was written, how it was written, the milestones along the way, and the mind-blowing ways in which the life of Jesus connects back to God's overall story of humanity.  Please visit us at www.heartofaman.org to learn more, to contact us, to purchase merchandise, donate to our ministry (we are a 501c3 and all donations are tax-deductible) or to join us in-person for one of our many Bible studies and classes!

Matthew chapter 7 begins with Jesus dealing with judging others before examining oneself. One's perspective in seeing is the difference between seeing a plank or a splinter. Dr. Mitchell then takes up the attitude the believer should have toward the unbeliever in sharing precious truth that they wouldn't understand. In verses 7 through 11, Jesus speaks to us about the Father's desire to give good gifts to his children. We who know the Lord can be assured that God does answer our prayers. Are you a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ?Dr. Mitchell then takes up the verses having to do with the golden rule and then teaches on the two ways. One way is Broad and leads to destruction the other is narrow and leads to life. Here is Dr. Mitchell with the way to life on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, Mt. 7:1-14.

Our study takes us into Matthew chapter 6 verses 19-34. Matthew, a disciple, and a former tax collector, heard Jesus speak of not laying up treasure for one's self on this earth but rather laying up treasures for one's self in heaven.Treasures in heaven are far from the the things that can eat it up or corrupt it and make it worthless. It is also far from those who would steal it from you.The import of these verses has to do with anxiety which too easily comes upon on us in these changing times, fortunes and circumstances.Our Lord has the answer for these anxieties concerning our lifestyles by focusing our attention of God's priorities (Mat. 6:33) and to stop worrying. Let's trust our Lord Jesus Christ when He says, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow.."Here is Dr. Mitchell, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast,Matthew 6:19-34

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues in the book of Matthew, chapter 6, verses 11-18.We'll first hear a brief review of previous verses to focus our hearts on the context of our Lord's words to His disciples and the people who where listening to Him in that day.Dr. Mitchell walks us through the two verses dealing with the Lord's instructions to his disciples on how to pray. In verse 14, He further explains that part of the prayer dealing with forgiveness.Dr. Mitchell relates several scriptures declaring forgiveness of sins to every one who trusts in Christ for it. Along with this trust in Jesus Christ as one's savior comes cleansing from all sin and unrighteousness. Jesus' blood on the cross is that on which God guarantees His forgiveness and salvation to you and me.Here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 6:11.

This morning Pastor Ryan continues our series in Matthew (Matthew 24:1-3) with his sermon, "The Destruction of the Temple."

Thank you for being here with us! The passage before us in this study covers verses which much of christendom almost knows by heart. Here in these verses, Mt.6:9-13, Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray. Often times called the "Lord's Prayer" it is in reality the 'Disciple's Prayer' as taught to them by the Lord Jesus.Dr. Mitchell states that this prayer contains 3 parts God-ward and 3 parts man-ward. He will be looking into the first two verses dealing with one's attitude toward God, Our Father. Here in verses 9-10 is presented the question of reverence, rule and obedience, e.g. Thy Name, Thy kingdom, Thy will. The prayer is directed to Our Father, the one who is in heaven.Turn with us in your Bible to Matthew 6:9-10 with Dr. Mitchell, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Dr. Mitchell next takes up Mat.6:5-8 where our Lord speaks on the subject of prayer. Jesus instructs those listening concerning their personal relationship to their Father. He teaches them, again, about one's motive. Even one's motive in praying in public is open to God.Next then, Jesus speaks about praying to the Father in private. He makes mention of the need to realize that Our Father knows what we need before we even ask Him. Therefore, we don't need to use perpetual and meaningless repetitions of words with God. Jesus said this is what religious people do who do not know God as their Father.Read 1Kings 18:20-38. Read the difference between the short prayer of Elijah and the many words of Baal's prophets. Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Dr. Mitchell walks us through Mt.6:5-8.

As Jesus has spoken about love for one's neighbor, Dr. Mitchell cautions one about disguising one' sin as love for others. Jesus then, having spoken to the future citizens of the kingdom of heaven about several topics, He now speaks about the Jewish custom of giving alms to the poor. In Matthew 6:1-4 Jesus speaks of one's duties before God which in this case has to do with one's giving. Here Jesus looks again at the motives as well as the actions. The Word of God speaks of God as a great giver. Scripture says, If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally and without reproach and it shall be given. God gave us His only begotten Son and Jesus gave Himself for us. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, in Matthew 6:1, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

As Dr. Mitchell has said, these words from our Lord deals with personal relationships. Jesus speaks on the topics of love and hate especially with reference to enemies.Once again our Lord speaks to those who would be citizens of the kingdom of heaven. He now directs their attention to the difference between what they had been told concerning love for one's neighbor but hate to one's enemies. What is especially precious in this passage is how God the Father is perfect and impartial to both the good and evil, both to those who are righteous and to those who are unrighteous. How precious is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is also our Father who is in heaven. Remember that Jesus referred to God as His God and our God, His Father and our Father. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast in Matthew 5:43.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues in Matthew chapter 5. Dr. Mitchell will be looking at verses 29 thru 42. In these passages Matthew records our Lord's words concerning four separate topics. Our Lord first speaks with authority about the real heart of adultery as an inner desire before it becomes an outer action. Dr. Mitchell surveys scriptures concerning this topic.The next topic has to with making and keeping vows which one may think it is possible to keep. What does Jesus say about this for the kingdom citizen?The third topic has to do with the concept of retaliation for an injury incurred. What the Lord says, concerning the law for the one who will be in His kingdom, is that this one is not to resist evil, not to exact revenge, but on the contrary, to bless. Let's join Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 5:27.

Jesus is teaching His disciples the laws of the King when He will reign in His kingdom during the millennium. We are in Matt. 5 verses 21-28. In these verses Matthew writes how Jesus confronts the very motives of a person's heart. The Lord gets right down to the heart of the matter. Matthew writes the very words that our Lord speaks, "you have heard that it was said...but I say unto you..." Jesus speaks these words 6 times in this chapter. Jesus' authority is superior to what the disciples had previously heard and been taught as to what the law meant. Dr. Mitchell will discuss the very differences between law and grace, and the very impossibility of keeping the law. This leads one to the very grace of God and to trust in Christ and His finished work alone at the cross and resurrection. If you believe in God, believe also in Jesus Christ.Here is Dr. Mitchell with Matthew 5:21-28.

Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 through 28 will be the focus of our study for this lesson.Dr. Mitchell points our that the Bible is a complete revelation of God's purposes in any age.Here in verses 17-28 , Jesus is teaching his disciples the law of the king for the future kingdom of heaven on earth.There is also truth and principles that apply to us today in this age of grace and of the church. In fact, these truths are applicable for any time in history. Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets not to abolish them. Here our Lord is speaking of the laws in what we know as the Old Testament. Please notice the superior authority of Jesus when He says, "For truly I say unto you..."On the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast here is Dr. John G. Mitchell, Matthew 5:17-28.

Our study in Matthew chapter 5 continues with verses 10 thru 12 with Dr. Mitchell.Continuing on from the Character of the citizens of the kingdom of heaven when Jesus reigns as King of Kings in Jerusalem during the millennium, we now read of the opposition to the kingdom citizens.Matthew in quoting Jesus' words, for Matthew was with Him when He spoke these words to the people of Israel, Matthew writes of the response of the citizen of the kingdom while being persecuted.Dr. Mitchell shares scripture that exhorts those who trust Christ in these days, those who are also being persecuted for their testimony to Christ and the Word of God. Do you find yourself in this position where you are at this time? We can find encouragement from these verses here and now.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 5:10-12.

In these verses, Matthew 5:13-16, we are presented with the responsibility of the citizens of the kingdom.There are four things that Matthew writes that Jesus said the citizens of the kingdom are to be.The first is to be the salt of the earth. The second is to be the light of the world. The third is being a city on a hill which cannot be hidden. The fourth is to be the kind of light that can light up all who are in the house. The purpose of being on display before the world is to display the glory of God thru Jesus Christ, which is the supreme purpose of the Christian.On the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast here is Dr. John G. Mitchell, Matthew 5:13 thru 16.

Our study continues in Matthew chapter 5. The next three chapters, chapters 5 thru 7 are commonly known as the Sermon on the mount. Matthew presents Jesus as the Messiah, the King of Israel. Dr. Mitchell calls these chapters, "The proclamation of the King". He likens these to the inaugural address of the president of the United States of America. Jesus is addressing His citizens, the Jewish people of the nation of Israel of His day. Dr. Mitchell shares with us the character of the citizens of the kingdom of the King found in verses 3 thru 9. Dr. Mitchell takes us through these verses one by one. Dr. Mitchell points out the distinct differences between Jesus' kingdom and rulers of this present age. What a contrast indeed.Let's turn in our Bible to Matthew chapter 5 with Mr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Matthew writes about Jesus leaving Nazareth to live in Capernaum. He began to preach the kingdom of heaven as at hand. His very presence was a light to that region.Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, calls His first disciples--Simon Peter, Andrew his brother, and James and John. Dr. Mitchell says, this is the call to service. Jesus, then, teaches in their synagogues and heals all kinds of diseases so people from a wide region followed Him. The ministry of Jesus, now, begins in earnest as He preaches the gospel of the kingdom.Matthew up to this point, has quoted 11 separate Old Testament passages.The Lord Jesus is the Messiah of Israel. Jesus is ever the focus of Matthew's writing in this Gospel.Is this Jesus the focus and center of our affection and devotion in these days?Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 4:12.

In Matthew 4 verses 5 thru 11, Dr. Mitchell gives us insights into these last two temptations of Christ. The second temptation seeks to entice Jesus as the Messiah to show Himself in a spectacular display and to act independently of God. The devil even quotes a portion of scripture from Ps.91:11 to try to get Jesus to act apart from God's purpose for Him. But Jesus counters with another scripture from Dt.6:16, "You shall not to tempt the Lord your God." The devil's third and last temptation was to tempt Jesus to worship him. But once again, Jesus uses scripture, Dt.6:13, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve". Jesus won the battle and has overcome the devil and his schemes paving the way to Jesus' victory at the cross and the resurrection. Jesus, What a Savior!.On the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 4:5.

In Matthew 3:17 God consecrates His Son. Here Dr. Mitchell says, Jesus is the ground of His Father's delight.In Mt. 4:1-4, we see the temptation of the Son of God, the Messiah, Jesus. Our Savior was tested as a man, as the Messiah, and finally as God.Dr. Mitchell says, Jesus successfully proved His moral right to the throne. He points out,-- these 3 temptations are the same temptations Adam and Eve faced in the Garden of Eden. Dr. Mitchell says, We are all tested by temptations as to the grace of God, the Word of God, and the Person of God. Jesus' temptations show the Savior utilizing the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. After each temptation by the devil, Jesus quotes Scripture to deflect that temptation and to confront the devil with the truth.Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 3:17.

Dr. Mitchell continues with Mt.3:10-17 which heralds the coming of the King. John confronts the Pharisees and Sadducees as religious leaders needing to repent concerning their lack of relationship to the Savior and accept Him. The phrase, 'the baptism of the Holy Spirit' is found in the NT only seven times. Dr. Mitchell makes mention of the three kinds of baptisms written about in the New Testament.Jesus is baptized by John in the Jordan river. At this baptism, Jesus identifies Himself with the nation of Israel, thus fulfilling all righteousness. Dr. Mitchell gives us three reasons why the sinless Jesus needed to be baptized. At this baptism, we can hear the voice of God the Father to His Son, "This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." God both identifies & commends His Son for all to hear.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, Matthew 3:10.

Matthew chapter 3 verses 1 thru 10 will be looking at John the Baptist, as he is presented by Matthew. This man came both preaching and baptizing. He preached repentance and the coming of the kingdom which was at hand. He was preparing the way for the coming of the King, who was Jesus. Matthew makes note of the fact that this John the Baptist, in verse 3, is the one Isaiah prophesied about. So Matthew quotes Isaiah 40 verse 3. From a total of 62 quotes from the Old Testament, found in Matthew, this the 6th one so far.Dr. Mitchell shares how John the Baptist confronts the religious leaders of his day. He wanted them to show real repentance, not mere empty profession.Let's turn to Matthew chapter 3 verse one with Dr. Mitchell, here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

8/10/25 Series: Series: The Book of Matthew Matthew 14:1-22 "Beyond the Maintenance Mindset" Speaker: Phillip Santillan Clarity Church gathers every Sunday at 10:00am at Edinbrook Elementary School in Brooklyn Park, MN

Our study begins in Matt.2:12. The wise men are warned by God not to return to King Herod. God warns Joseph to leave Bethlehem and go to Egypt. Why? Because King Herod wanted to kill God's Messiah. Matthew writes once again of fulfilled O.T. prophecy. Joseph went to Egypt and later brought Jesus back to Israel. "Out of Egypt I called by Son." (Hosea 11:1)But in unbelief, the King's actions fulfill prophecy in slaying living babies. What King Herod does is horrendous. Mt.2:17-18.People can and do fulfill Bible prophecy even in their unbelief and sin. So both Joseph and the king fulfilled Bible prophecy. One in faith and belief, the other in sin and unbelief.
