Matthew 21 opens with Jesus's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem—his coronation as King. Pastor Karl unpacks why this moment was unlike any earthly coronation: a king who arrived not on a warhorse but on a humble donkey, fulfilling prophecies spoken generations earlier through Isaiah, Zechariah, and Daniel. As King, Jesus fulfills God's mission, exercises God's authority, restores proper worship according to God's Word, and extends God's compassion. From the crowds shouting "Hosanna" to Jesus clearing the temple of corruption, this passage reveals a King who demands total allegiance while never withholding compassion from those who come to Him in need.

Historically, the people of Tyre and Sidon were enemies of God's people. It's no wonder, then, that the Evangelist draws our attention to the presence of a Canaanite woman there who confesses the truth about Jesus as the Son of David as she prays for His mercy upon her daughter. Jesus' seemingly enigmatic responses throughout teach His disciples about the nature of His ultimate ministry to Gentiles, even as Jesus also tests the woman's faith. Despite Jesus' harsh responses, she continues to cling to Him, knowing that she is a Gentile sinner but that He is the generous God who has enough for her to have some crumbs. Jesus vindicates her faith in Him and gives her the mercy He loves to give. Rev. Charles St-Onge, pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 15:21-28. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

A man approached Jesus who understood how the kingdom of God worked: love God and love your neighbor. So Jesus told him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” But near is not the same as in. One must do more than understand the kingdom of God. One must acknowledge the King of God. Because Jesus is more than one of David's descendants—Jesus is David's Lord. More than a human Son of David—Jesus is the divine Son of God.
IntroductionHow do we know that God will keep his promises? It's a question we don't often ask out loud, but we might ask silently to ourselves. We may experience a setback in life, and we wonder if God is really looking out for us. Psalm 132 permits us to bring that question directly to God. Psalm 132 gives us God's answer. The Promise God MadeLong before Christ's entrance into history, God narrowed his redemptive promise to a single line. He started with the potential of all humanity. In Genesis 3:15, the Lord said, “The seed of the woman.” We do not know the genealogy or the promised heir, other than that the promised champion would arrive from humanity. This would give the Lord a lot of options and a lot of opportunities to bring about the heir. The Lord makes his promise very specific and very narrow. He narrows the promise from all humanity to the tribe of Judah and David's house. The Lord swears in 2 Sam 7 that he will build David's line through the eternal heir, the messiah, who is fully human and fully divine. Two natures in one person. This will establish David's line eternally. The second person of the Trinity will take on flesh to do what the first Adam could not and establish his eternal kingdom. This is wonderful, but then we see the stump of Jesse in Isaiah 11. It seems as if the line of David is cut off. This is the problem in Psalm 132. Where is David's heir? Sure, the line continues, but Israel is back in the land. They dwell there without a visible king. Will God fulfill his promise? Will there be an heir on David's throne for eternity? Sure, Isaiah shows us a shoot, but how strong is that shoot? The shoot seems like a small growth. Yes, we have assurance that the Lord has not forsaken his promise. However, can this small shoot carry the Lord's majestic promise? The Prayer God WelcomesPsalm 132 is in the context of the exile. The psalmist wants to know if God has forsaken his promise. The psalmist does something striking: he reminds God of his own covenant. There's no Davidic king on the throne. The land is restored, but the promise seems stalled. Rather than walking away in despair or stirring up doubt in the congregation, the psalmist brings the tension straight to God. He says, “For the sake of your servant David, do not turn your face away." This is simply, “Lord, you made the promise, and now fulfill your promise.”Scripture gives us that reminder and permission to bring our frustrations to God and remind him of his promises. We can come before God, name his promises, and honestly say: Lord, help me see what I'm missing. In fact, Psalm 132 is encouraging us to do this. We are not going to the community and stirring up unrest, but bringing our frustration to God. Lord, this is what you say, this is what I see, and I need reassurance of your provision. The Answer God GivesThe important thing is that we discern the Lord's answer. This might be through Scripture, it might even be by his providence, where we see the answer to our request. However, Psalm 132 gives us God's answer. God's response in verses 11–18 is not a scolding rebuke against the Psalmist. No, the Lord gives reassurance that his intention has not changed. We are impatient, but the Lord's timing is perfect. The Lord will clothe his priests with salvation. A horn (powerful king) will sprout from David's line. The Messiah will be anointed and equipped to perfectly fulfill his mission. His enemies will wear shame while his king wears a shining crown, and his priests are clothed with glory. In Christ, every one of these images finds its fulfillment. The Messiah came. The Lord fulfilled his promise in his perfect timing. ConclusionHas God forsaken His promise? The temptation is to think that God is looking for a new family to adopt. Psalm 132 assures us that God is not looking for a more deserving family to adopt. Apart from Christ, none of us is considered more deserving. But in Christ, we possess everything as heirs with Christ. Our Lord, who is our King, holds the promise. He wears the crown. He fulfills His word even when we think it is void. When we pray to God, and we rehearse the Lord's promises to us, we know that the Lord fulfills his promise. He has never once failed to keep his word. Rest in that assurance. Proceed in the confidence that you are the Lord's child as you take hold of Christ by faith. Live in the confidence and joy of that promise.

This is the May 31st Sunday sermon from the First United Methodist Church in Decatur, Texas. This sermon is taken from Luke 18:31-43.
In week 7 of our series, “I Call Him ___ “, David Escobedo walks us through the story of Jesus healing a blind beggar and draws out 3 key points that leads to the “intersection of salvation”: when our sight meets the Son. When we see Jesus and believe Him for who He is, our lives are transformed.
Matthew 20:29-21:11 - - Jan 4, 2026
Here in the Gospel of Mark, this lessonbegins in chapter 10 verses 45 thru 52After Jesus spoke of Himself as one who came to minister and to give His life a ransom for many, in fact for all, He now ministers once again near Jericho.A blind man by the name of Bartimaeus which means son of Timaeus asked Jesus to give his eye sight back to him. This blind man was initially rebuked by the crowd standing along the way.But Jesus heard him calling out to Him as Jesus, Son of David. This blind man recognized Jesus as the coming Messiah, the Messiah who was born in the city of David as Christ the Lord - the Savior, to save His people.Here is Dr. Mitchell in Mark 10:45-52 with Jesus our savior on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
You have been singing David's words all evening. The psalms of this service are the prayers of a man hunted by enemies — "Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart" (Psalm 140:1–2). David wrote those words. He knew what it was to have his own counselor betray him, his own son conspire against him, his own people turn their backs. But when Jesus crossed the Kidron, David's prayers found their final answer. The Son of David walked into every snare, every trap, every evil that David had begged God to deliver him from — not to escape them, but to spring them on Himself, so that they would be spent and emptied forever.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday, the crowds shouted "Hosana to the Son of David." The name, Son of David, was not just a nice reference to Jesus's family line, but rather a declaration of who Jesus is and the what promises that he fulfills. In being the Son of David, Jesus promises to be a king who will reign forever. Being a part of His household, we, like David, ask God to make us people after His own heart.

Jesus stopped and stood still for the blind beggar outside of Jericho. He gave him His undivided, full attention. He healed him. What do you need the Son of God to heal in your life today? Don't be silent in your faith, be bold, be loud. He will miraculously heal and meet your need today!
Matthew 12:22-32 22 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to [Je- sus], and He healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Who- ever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

As Matthew’s Gospel takes a dramatic turn, Jesus goes public with His identity as the Messiah–the promised King. As He does, we see that He is a King who both humbly lays down His life and boldly opposes sinful hypocrisy. Along the way, He also graciously invites our expectant prayers.
Throughout history, people have reinterpreted Jesus—as a social reformer, a prophet, even just a good teacher. Dr. John explores Matthew 20:29-34, where two blind men publicly declare Jesus as "Son of David"—the Messiah. For years, Jesus kept His identity secret, but now, on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem, He allows the declaration to stand and heals the blind men in front of the crowd. This moment marks the end of the messianic secret and sets the stage for His crucifixion for claiming to be the Son of God.The Ministry of Our Lord: Join Dr. John Neufeld for a journey through Matthew 19-20, where Jesus makes His final trip to Jerusalem. The crowds are growing, expecting triumph and glory. But what Jesus teaches is startling: humility over greatness, sacrifice over power. This Messiah will not rule from a throne—He will reign from a cross. Discover what it means to follow a suffering King.

Pastor Tyler Downing in Matthew 1:18-25 invites us to honor the Lord by faithfully embracing the specific life He's ordained for us, using Joseph as an example of compassionate justice, obedient faith, and humble recognition of his own need for a Savior as he names the child “Jesus.” He ties Joseph's story to our own deep longings, echoing C.S. Lewis' insight that desires this world can't satisfy point us to the reality that we were made for another world, and ultimately for Christ Himself.

Matthew 9:27-31; 2 Samuel 7; Matthew 21:1-11: Our advent series brings us to meet Jesus as the “Son of David” alongside the blind beggars in Matthew's gospel, discovering the true King whose mercy brings healing.
As our year of focusing on the Old Testament comes to a close, it is fitting that we conclude with texts from the Messiah's first “biographer,” the prophet Isaiah, whose career spanned 740–680 B.C. Thanks to the Lutheran composer Handel, whose “Messiah” is especially popular around Christmas and Easter, many of Isaiah's prophecies are quite familiar (in fact, about one-third of the movements in “Messiah” are from Isaiah!). As we open these Old Testament texts, we discover the incarnate Lord and the gifts of forgiveness of sins, life and salvation that He came to bring. Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins Sarah to talk about the “Searching Scripture” feature in the December 2025 issue of the Lutheran Witness titled "Son of David, Son of God" on Isaiah 9:2–7 and Isaiah 11:1–10. This year, “Searching Scripture” is themed “Opening the Old Testament” and will walk through ways that the Old Testament witnesses to Jesus Christ and His grace, mercy and peace, delivered through the holy Christian church. Follow along every month and search Scripture with us! Find online exclusives of the Lutheran Witness at witness.lcms.org and subscribe to the Lutheran Witness at cph.org/witness.

Dr. R. Carlton Wynne speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Wynne explores how the vast portion of the Old Testament covering the monarchy and prophetic periods (approximately 417 chapters) points to Jesus Christ. Dr. Wynne first establishes the central, Christ-centered scope of all Scripture, affirming that everything in the Old Testament looks forward to and finds its fulfillment in Christ's person and work, including his death and resurrection. The address then moves beyond viewing Christ merely as being prefigured in the Old Testament through "scale models" or "macro typology." Instead, it seeks a deeper sense in which the pre-incarnate Christ's power and heavenly kingdom principles were actively revealed through the history of Israel's kings and prophets, positioning these figures and institutions as intrusions of heavenly glory mediated by Christ himself.
