In Matthew 12 we have two incidents, both deliberately performed on the Sabbath day, illustrating that Jesus was indeed the Lord of the Sabbath, in contrast to the Sabbath having authority over our Lord Jesus. The first of these confrontations between the Pharisees and Jesus' disciples was whether the disciples had the right to pluck and eat the ears of grain ( Jesus cites the precedent in David's eating of the shewbread, which our readings from two days ago highlighted). The second incident was the healing of the man with the withered hand. In all likelihood the Pharisees had planted this man at the front of the synagogue in Capernaum as a challenge to our Lord. Would he heal on the Sabbath day, or not? This healing proved that our Lord Jesus Christ was Yahweh's chosen Servant of Isaiah 42. These incidents are followed by grievous charges being leveled against Jesus of doing miracles by the power of Beelzebul - the lord of the dung heap - the prince of the demons. Jesus claims that this charge amounted to blasphemy against God's power which was being flagrantly denied despite incontestable evidence that Jesus was from God. Then follows the lesson of the fruits. Our Lord Jesus declares that the type of tree we are is shown by the fruits - ie actions of our lives - Jesus kindly words, actions and healings proved that he was the Son of God. And their hatred, words and enmity towards our Lord illustrates that they were acting from minds that were carnal in every respect. Our Lord would advance further incontestable proof of his Sonship with a prophecy of his resurrection from the dead as the sign of Jonah - the prophet from Galilee (see John 7:50-52). The chapter concludes with the parable of the unclean spirit seeking a lodging place. It leaves its abode and starts to look for another house. But finding no place it returned to its original home and found it to be swept clean. The spirit then found another 7 vile creatures to return and take possession of the original house. This spoke of John the Baptist and our Lord Jesus Christ purging the house of Israel. Only for the foul priests and Pharisees uniting to kill our Lord Jesus Christ: Matthew 23 verses :19-39. Lastly the chapter records that Jesus' own family sought to 'rescue' him from the trouble he had seemingly caused. His family were not impressed with his head on confrontations with the nation's religious leaders. Perhaps they believed he needed rest and time to reflect on a better course of action and not antagonise Israel's leaders. Jesus tells his family that he is doing the work of his God and that those who choose to listen to his Father's Word are his true family.
In this episode of Mere Fidelity, the hosts engage in a deep discussion about covenant theology, exploring its significance in scripture and its role in Reformed theology.

Sunday, 29 June 2025 Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 11:11 “Amen! I say to you, not he has risen in ‘born of women' greater than John the Baptist, but the least in the kingdom of the heavens, he is greater than he” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus cited a portion of Malachi 3:1, indicating that John was the first messenger being referred to in that prophecy, being the one sent before the Messiah to prepare His way. Now, still referring to John, He continues with, “Amen! I say to you.” Jesus is making an emphatic declaration concerning John. It will be a point that those around Him would hear and find amazing and yet satisfying, even if they didn't fully understand what He was speaking of. Having said this, He continues with, “not he has risen in ‘born of women' greater than John the Baptist.” The term “born of women” is a way of identifying humanity. All humans since the creation of Adam and Eve have been born of a woman. As such, Jesus is referring to this common human nature. It is reminiscent of the words of Job – “Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.” Job 14:1, 2 The “he has” in Jesus' words and the “Man” in Job's words refer to both men and women. The masculine stands for both in such statements. Therefore, it is not limited to men but is inclusive of all of humanity. No person born to the stream of humanity is to be considered greater than John. Whether the subject is a king, a conqueror, a prophet, Abraham, Moses, David, or anyone else. Jesus has already said that John is the subject of the prophecies referring to the one who would come as the precursor to the Messiah. Because he is that person, his role made the purpose of his life on par with or greater than any other. Despite this, Jesus continues, saying, “but the least in the kingdom of the heavens, he is greater than he. The term “kingdom of the heavens” refers to a point in the future of the time of Jesus' words. There was a time coming that would divide human history in a way that nothing else had before. However, the timing of the event is not the only factor in determining who is a part of this kingdom. Rather, it is a necessary part of it. John is living at a point in time when the kingdom being referred to has not yet arrived. Although unstated, it can be inferred that John is not going to live long enough for that kingdom to be ushered in. As has been seen elsewhere already in Matthew, the idea of the kingdom holds various connotations. However, Jesus is referring at this time to the appointment of the Messiah King. This can be deduced by piecing together various thoughts presented in Scripture. Psalm 2 says – “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” Psalm 2:6 To set a king implies a kingdom. However, Psalm 2 continues with – “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'” Psalm 2:7 Paul says of Jesus that He is “declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). The appointment of the King corresponds to the proclamation of the Sonship. The resurrection provides the forum in which that proclamation is made. Therefore, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the moment at which the times referred to above are divided. From that point, the kingdom of the heavens referred to in this verse is enacted. Jesus' point is that the privileges associated with those alive after His resurrection are greater than those who came prior to that moment. It is these privileges that allow it to be said in reference to John that “the least in the kingdom of the heavens, he is greater than he.” Life application: As noted, entrance into the kingdom of the heavens is not merely conditioned on being alive after the resurrection. Rather, that is a necessary condition of it. John died prior to that day, and his life falls under a different dispensation of time, one that only anticipated the coming kingdom. Although the gospels refer to the kingdom an enormous number of times in comparison to the epistles, it is because of the various meanings of the term. In the epistles, Paul in particular refers to the kingdom, noting that it is something that believers are promised. Through faith in Jesus, entrance into that kingdom is assured. The meaning is that we are already subjects of that kingdom, even if our state in it is not yet fully realized. Someday, those things promised to His saints will come. May that day be soon – “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13, 14 Lord God, how good it is to know that we have an eternal hope because of what You have done for us through Jesus Christ. Praises to You forever and ever for what You have done. May the day be soon when we stand in the light of our Savior and rejoice in the fullness of Your goodness. Yes, speed the Day, O God. Amen.
What does it truly mean to live in the responsibility of being sons and daughters of God? In this message, Gabe Valenzuela invites us to move beyond simply receiving our identity to walking it out with maturity, humility, and purpose. Living as sons and daughters in God's kingdom isn't just about inheritance—it's about responsibility, submission, sacrifice, and choosing to live as Jesus did. This sermon calls us higher, not to earn God's love, but to respond to it with surrendered lives that reflect His nature. If you've said yes to sonship, you've also said yes to the weight of the character that comes with it. This is an invitation to grow, live, and lead as true heirs of the Kingdom.

In this tender yet bold declaration, Pastor Ron speaks freedom, identity, and spiritual direction over every listener. You are no longer being dragged from place to place by old wounds or former mistakes—you are led by the Spirit as a beloved child of God.
In today's Morning Manna, Rick and Doc explore the deep wisdom found in Proverbs 3:7–12, guiding listeners into the heart of God's fatherly discipline. These verses warn against self-reliance and pride, calling instead for holy reverence and trust in the Lord — even when He corrects us.The message powerfully frames chastisement as evidence of divine love, not punishment. God's discipline isn't rejection; it's refinement. Through humble surrender, reverence, and obedience — including honoring the Lord with our substance — we are invited into a life of health, provision, and purpose.Whether you're on the mountaintop or in a season of pruning, today's teaching reminds you: correction is confirmation that you are a beloved child of God.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Sermons Archive RSS 1 John 3:1A Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!Romans 8:12-17 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.Romans 8:31-39 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:“For Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In this episode, we journey into the heart of the interior life—where sonship is not just a theological idea but a lived identity, rooted in the truth of God's love. Fr. Searby explores how misbeliefs about ourselves and others become strongholds for spiritual distortion, and how forgiveness and spiritual warfare begin in reclaiming truth. This is a call to detach from the lies of the enemy, re-align our hearts with the Father's voice, and live in the radical freedom of those who know they are deeply loved.
This week, Aaron Ninaber shared a powerful message titled The Leadership of the Lord, reminding us that God's discipline is not punishment, but a loving invitation into deeper intimacy with Him (Hebrews 12:1–11). As sons and daughters, we can trust that His correction comes from a heart of love, not condemnation. While the enemy uses shame to isolate and confuse us, God's discipline brings conviction that leads to peace, holiness, and lasting fruit. His leadership is trustworthy, and even in our stumbles, He is there to lift us up and walk us forward in freedom.More from Catch The Fire RaleighMessages: https://ctfr.me/messagesMusic: https://ctfr.me/musicWorship Moments: https://ctfr.me/worshipConnect with us:Website: https://ctfraleigh.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/ctfraleighInstagram: https://instagram.com/catchthefireraleighSpotify: https://ctfr.me/spotifyApple Music: https://ctfr.me/applemusicThank you for watching this video from Catch The Fire Raleigh.

What does it mean to live as a child of God?

Pastor Joe kicks off this series by helping us understand what it truly means to be a child of God.
This sermon from Jamal Sarikoki emphasizes that Jesus reveals God as Father, which is a deeper and more intimate revelation than simply knowing God as Creator. The Fatherhood of God is central to Jesus' mission and is revealed by the Spirit to the childlike in heart. Knowing God as Father is not just intellectual, but must be received emotionally and spiritually. Many people struggle to truly experience this love because of emotional wounds, especially those related to earthly fathers. Jamal explains that emotional healing and openness like a child are key to receiving this revelation. Jesus models this perfect relationship with the Father, and through Him, believers are invited into the same kind of intimacy. Ultimately, we are called to not only know the Father's love but to live in it, letting it shape our identity and healing.
What does it truly mean to be a son of God rather than just a servant? In this powerful episode of Apostolic Mentoring, Pastor Powell from Texas delivers a kingdom-shaking message that challenges believers to step beyond servanthood into the fullness of divine sonship.Drawing from Romans 8:19, Pastor Powell reveals how all creation eagerly awaits the manifestation of God's sons—believers who understand their true identity and authority. The distinction isn't merely semantic; it fundamentally transforms how we approach our relationship with God and our mission in the world.Through biblical examples and personal insights, Pastor Powell unpacks three vital components of authentic sonship: submission, ownership, and favor. Submission isn't a restrictive concept but the very foundation that connects us to spiritual authority. Ownership moves us beyond waiting for instructions to recognizing needs and taking initiative. Favor encompasses the blessings and authority that come with our position as royal children.One of the most striking revelations shared is how adopted children legally have stronger inheritance rights than natural-born children—a powerful picture of our grafted position in God's family. We aren't second-class citizens in the Kingdom but fully entitled heirs with direct access to the throne room.This message arrives at a crucial moment for the global church. As Pastor Powell emphasizes, "Don't wait for the perfect time. The fields are already white and ready for harvest." The world doesn't belong to darkness but has been given to God's children as an inheritance—we simply need to rise up and take possession through prayer, fasting, and bold action.Ready to stop living like a slave and start walking in the authority of sonship? This episode will equip you to lift your head high and embrace your true identity as a child of the King, positioned with purpose and empowered to transform your world.We love to hear from our listeners!
