Christ paid the price to give us the free gifts of joy and power. 1. Christ's free gift of great joy. (v.1-8) 2. Christ's free gift of Spiritual power cannot be bought. (v.9-20) 3. Without Christ's gift: a heart not right, full of bitterness, captive to sin (v.21-25). Receiving Christ's Gifts: What is the explanation for such joy? Philippians 4:7 How can we test for true spiritual power? 1 John 4:1-6 From what were we lifted? Colossians 1:13-14
God made one way for humans to be on this earth and that is through the reproduction between man and woman to conceive a baby in the womb of that woman for her to give birth. He made one way for us to enter eternal life in Heaven and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ. He stands at the door of our hearts knocking and waiting for us to let Him in and do His miraculous work in and through us.
Guided Question Have you merely acknowledged Jesus as Savior, or have you truly received Him as King—and what would change in your life if He were fully reigning? Summary This episode explores the significance of the genealogy in Matthew 1, revealing that the long list of names is far more than a record of ancestry. In Jewish culture, genealogy carried tremendous power. A person's ancestry could determine his eligibility for the priesthood, his rights within the covenant community, and his claim to Israel's throne. Matthew therefore begins his Gospel by identifying Jesus as “the son of David and the son of Abraham,” establishing both His Jewish heritage and His royal credentials. The sermon examines Matthew's genealogy alongside Luke's, showing how the two genealogies emphasize different aspects of Jesus' lineage. Matthew traces the royal line through David and Solomon, while Luke traces another branch of David's family through Nathan. The discussion then addresses the curse placed on Jeconiah, whose descendants were disqualified from sitting on David's throne. Through the virgin birth and Joseph's legal adoption of Jesus, Christ receives the legal rights of the royal line without inheriting Jeconiah's cursed bloodline. Luke's genealogy is then understood as tracing Jesus' physical lineage through Mary, establishing that Jesus is both legally and naturally connected to David. Matthew's genealogy contains another striking feature: the inclusion of four women—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Their stories include immorality, foreign ancestry, and complicated family histories. Rather than presenting Israel's history as a story of flawless people and glorious kings, Matthew exposes the sin running throughout the royal lineage. Matthew also organizes the genealogy into three groups of fourteen generations. The first period, from Abraham to David, can be characterized by impurity; the second, from David to the Babylonian deportation, by idolatry; and the final period, from the deportation to Christ, by obscurity and bondage. Israel's history reveals a people who repeatedly failed to live out God's purposes and ultimately needed salvation from their sins. The sermon then turns the genealogy toward the listener. Beneath the appearance of successful and respectable lives can lie the same patterns of impurity, idolatry, and bondage. People may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with sin, pursuing status, worshiping possessions or accomplishments, and eventually becoming controlled by the very things they once thought they controlled. Without Jesus Christ, humanity follows a similar trajectory to Israel. Jesus came not merely to be acknowledged as Savior but to reign as King. True transformation occurs when a person receives Christ, bows to His authority, and allows Him to take the throne of his or her life. The invitation of Jesus is not simply to wear the label of Christian but to become a child of God through genuine surrender and faith. The episode concludes with the picture of believers being brought into Christ's royal family. Those who truly receive Jesus become heirs and offspring of Abraham, part of His royal lineage, and children of the living God. The genealogy that begins Matthew's Gospel ultimately becomes an invitation: Jesus is the King—receive Him, submit to Him, and let Him reign. Episode Outline 1. Why Matthew Begins With a Genealogy Genealogy carried enormous significance in Jewish culture. Ancestry could determine priesthood, covenant privileges, and royal legitimacy. Matthew uses Jesus' genealogy to establish His identity as King. 2. Jesus' Royal Credentials Jesus is the Son of Abraham and Son of David. The Davidic covenant promised an enduring throne. Jesus is presented as the legitimate Messianic King. 3. Matthew and Luke's Genealogies Matthew emphasizes the royal line through Solomon. Luke traces another branch of David's family through Nathan. Together they demonstrate Jesus' legal and physical connection to David. The curse of Jeconiah makes Jesus' virgin birth and adoption especially significant. 4. The Unexpected People in Jesus' Lineage Matthew includes Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Their stories expose immorality, foreign ancestry, and human failure. The genealogy challenges pride in Israel's supposedly glorious heritage. 5. Israel's Threefold Pattern Abraham to David — Impurity David to the Deportation — Idolatry Deportation to Christ — Obscurity and Bondage Israel's history demonstrates its need for salvation from sin. 6. Our Own Spiritual Genealogy Outward success can hide inward sin. Impurity can lead to idolatry and eventually bondage. Without Christ, people can become controlled by the things they once sought to control. 7. Jesus Came to Be King Jesus offers more than forgiveness or religious identification. Receiving Christ means embracing His authority. Genuine Christianity produces a changed lifestyle, not merely Christian rhetoric. 8. The Invitation of Royalty Those who receive Christ become children of God. Believers become heirs and offspring of Abraham. The King who fulfills David's promise invites us to let Him reign in our lives. Key Takeaways The genealogy establishes Jesus' royal credentials. Matthew identifies Him as the Son of David and Son of Abraham. Jesus is uniquely qualified to be the promised King. His legal and physical connections to David establish His claim to the throne. Israel's pedigree did not make them righteous. Ancestral privilege became distorted when people relied on heritage rather than faithful obedience. The genealogy exposes Israel's sin. Impurity, idolatry, and bondage characterize much of Israel's history. The genealogy includes unlikely people. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba demonstrate that God's purposes operate through imperfect and unexpected people. Respectability can hide spiritual bondage. A life that looks successful outwardly may contain hidden impurity, misplaced worship, and growing enslavement. Jesus came to restore and liberate. He came to save His people from their sins and bring them into genuine freedom. Christianity is more than acknowledgment. Receiving Christ means embracing Him, submitting to Him, and recognizing His authority. Jesus must occupy the throne. A transformed Christian life comes when Christ becomes King rather than simply being an acknowledged religious figure. Believers become part of God's royal family. Those who receive Christ become children of God and heirs of the promises associated with Abraham and David.

Guided Question Do I truly know Jesus and experience His presence in my life, or am I simply trying to live by Christian rules without experiencing the new birth He came to give? Summary This episode explores Matthew 1:18–25 and the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. Dr. Robert Lewis emphasizes that Jesus' birth is unique not simply because a baby was born, but because God Himself entered humanity. Matthew presents Jesus as both the Son of David, with a legitimate claim to the throne, and the divine Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit. The story begins with Mary and Joseph, whose response to God's extraordinary plan demonstrates remarkable submission. Mary does not understand how God's promise will be fulfilled, yet she responds, “Be it done to me according to thy word.” Joseph likewise obeys God despite the personal shame and potential consequences of taking Mary as his wife. Their lives demonstrate that God's greatest works are often entrusted to people who are humble and willing to submit to His truth. Dr. Lewis then emphasizes the importance of believing the virgin birth as a literal work of the Holy Spirit. He argues that Christianity cannot be separated from biblical revelation: religion without revelation leaves people with nothing more than subjective beliefs and human imagination. The sermon then turns to the name Emmanuel—“God with us.” Jesus did not merely come to point people toward God or give them a better moral code. He came to make a relationship with God possible. He is not merely a teacher of truth; He is the truth, and He calls people not simply to follow His teachings but to receive Him. Finally, Dr. Lewis explains that the birth of Jesus points toward an even greater miracle: the new birth. Jesus was born so that people could be spiritually reborn. Christianity is therefore not merely about keeping rules, attending church, or proving ourselves worthy before God. It is about receiving Christ, being forgiven of sin, and experiencing His presence within us. The message closes with a personal invitation to respond to Christ. Just as Mary and Joseph submitted themselves to God's Word without fully understanding what He was doing, listeners are challenged to surrender themselves to Christ, receive Him, and experience the new life He came to give. Outline 1. The Uniqueness of Jesus' Birth Matthew introduces Jesus' birth as an extraordinary beginning. Jesus is both the Son of David and the divine Son of God. His conception by the Holy Spirit makes His birth unlike any other. 2. Mary and Joseph: Submission to God Mary faces an impossible and potentially shameful situation. She responds with trust and submission to God's Word. Joseph obeys despite the personal cost and public consequences. Their humility makes them examples of responsive faith. 3. The Virgin Birth and Biblical Revelation Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The virgin birth is presented as a foundational truth of Christianity. Faith must be grounded in God's revelation rather than personal preference or imagination. 4. Jesus Came to Save from Sin Israel expected the Messiah to deliver them from Roman oppression. Jesus came to address the deeper problem: humanity's bondage to sin. True deliverance begins when we stop focusing on everyone else's problems and allow Christ to deal with our own sin. 5. Emmanuel: God With Us Isaiah's prophecy points forward to Jesus. Jesus is the greater fulfillment of “Emmanuel.” He does not merely point the way to God—He makes relationship with God possible. 6. The Greater Miracle: The New Birth Jesus' birth prepares the way for our spiritual rebirth. Christianity is more than morality, religious activity, or following rules. We must receive Christ and experience His indwelling presence. Jesus was born so that we might be born again. Key Takeaways God works through humble people who are willing to submit to His Word. Faith does not require us to understand everything before we obey. Jesus came to deliver us from sin, not merely from difficult circumstances. Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us. Christianity is about a relationship with Christ, not merely religious rules or moral behavior. The miracle of Jesus' birth points to the greater miracle of the new birth. Receiving Christ means surrendering ourselves to Him and trusting His promise to transform our lives. Scripture References Matthew 1:18–25 — Jesus is conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to Mary. Luke 1:26–38 — Mary receives God's announcement and submits to His Word. Isaiah 7:10–16 — The sign of Emmanuel points to a greater future fulfillment. Philippians 2:5–8 — Christ humbles Himself and takes on human form. Hebrews 1:1–3 — God speaks fully through His Son. John 3:1–8 — Jesus teaches the necessity of being born again. Matthew 1:21 — Jesus comes to save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:23 — Jesus is Emmanuel, “God with us.” Recorded 12.19.82
Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan in response to a man who wanted to “justify himself.” But what if we've misunderstood the point of the parable?The Good Samaritan isn't merely a story about being nice and helpful. It is a story about mercy—and ultimately about Christ.We are sinners who have been spiritually robbed, beaten, and left for dead. Yet Christ, the true Good Samaritan, does not pass us by. He comes to us, binds our wounds, covers us with His righteousness, and brings us into His Church. He pays the price for our healing with His own blood.Receiving Christ's mercy also changes how we love our neighbors. Sometimes “keeping the peace” means leaving someone lying wounded on the side of the road. Sometimes friendship, reputation, and social harmony become excuses for refusing to speak the truth. The Christian is not called to offer empty affirmation while someone remains trapped in deception. Having received mercy from Christ, we are called to show that same mercy to our neighbors.“You go, and do likewise.”
Forgiveness is one of the hardest parts of the healing journe. Not because it's complicated, but because it touches the deepest places of our hearts.In this episode of the Freedom Foundations Series, Shawn explores why forgiveness isn't about pretending the past didn't happen or minimizing the pain you've experienced. It's about restoring intimacy with God and finding freedom from the weight you've been carrying.Through two powerful stories from his coaching journey, Shawn unpacks why many Christian men struggle to forgive others completely, why receiving God's forgiveness can be even harder than giving it, and how both are essential for lasting healing.Together, you'll work through two guided exercises:Receiving Christ's forgiveness for the shame, regret, and failures you've been carrying.Offering specific, intentional forgiveness to someone who has deeply hurt you.Rather than rushing past your pain, this episode will help you identify what actually needs forgiveness and bring it honestly before Jesus. The accompanying workbook encourages you to be specific, to speak forgiveness aloud, and to return to the process whenever new hurts surface, making forgiveness an ongoing practice instead of a one-time event.In this episode you'll discover:Why forgiveness restores intimacy with GodWhy forgiving generally often leaves you stuckThe difference between forgiving yourself and receiving Christ's forgivenessHow to release bitterness without denying your painA practical, guided process to receive and offer forgivenessIf you've ever felt trapped by resentment, shame, or regret, this episode is an invitation to stop carrying what Jesus has already carried for you.
What does it mean to truly receive Jesus? In this sermon from Matthew 10, we explore Christ's promise that those who receive His disciples receive Him—and through Him, the Father. As followers of Jesus, we are first called to receive His grace, His Spirit, and His life, so that we can faithfully share His love with others. When Christ lives in His people, even the simplest acts of kindness become signs of His Kingdom at work in the world.

When we are "rooted in Christ" it enables us to live freely for him. We often try to put additional rules, regulations and barriers in our faith, but truly a relationship with Christ is enough!
In this sermon, Pastor Paul shares why we are unable to attain Heaven without the shed blood of Christ. What is it about our human nature that prevents this? How does scripture characterize us without Christ?

What do you do when you believe in Jesus Christ—but don't feel close to Him? When the doctrine still makes sense, the invitations are familiar, and yet your heart feels heavy or stalled? In this episode, Scott and Deb talk candidly about faithful discouragement, emotional distance, and the quiet struggle of trying to “receive Christ” when it doesn't feel easy or inspiring. Drawing from Alma 7, the Savior's experience in Gethsemane, insights on grace from Adam Miller, and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's reassurance that we are never too far gone, this conversation reframes grace as Christ staying with us before He changes us. If you've ever wondered whether your weariness disqualifies you—or if Christ still comes close in the quiet—this episode is for you.

Before creation, God knew that there would need to be a plan for salvation and He incorporated that plan in every aspect of His handiwork. Since Jesus' life, death and resurrection, we are now offered the gift of salvation entirely free. We must lay aside our attempts at payment and simply receive this gift.
Christmas reveals God's way of working: humility comes before exaltation. Instead of entering the world with power and spectacle, God came quietly and lowly, just as He often humbles His people before lifting them up. Jesus' birth shows that God Himself follows this pattern. Christ was born in poverty and obscurity, not in a palace or with earthly power. The manger points forward to the cross, showing a life marked by humility and self-giving. Christmas reminds us that salvation comes by God's grace, not human strength or pride. This makes Christmas personal and hopeful. God meets us in our weakness and brokenness, coming down to where we are. Receiving Christ requires humble, childlike trust, and the God who came low is the God who lifts the lowly.

The Lord’s Supper, though distinctive and central to Christian worship, is frequently a subject of Christian debate. Is it a memorial of Jesus’ past death, or a present reception of the risen Christ, or an anticipation of something yet to come? In this session, we discuss why all three of these meanings are essential to understanding the bread and wine of Holy Communion.
