As Jesus warns the disciples against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod, believers are warned to guard against the corrupting influences of legalism and lawlessness. The leaven of human-made religious rules, lawlessness, and worldly compromise stem from a lack of trust in God's goodness. Jesus' rebuke of the disciples for their spiritual dullness despite witnessing miraculous prov...

Jesus tells of His coming death more than once. The transfiguration. Peter's misunderstandings. A demoniac healed and the people's (disciples'?) lack of faith rebuked.

In this message, taken from Matthew 22:1-14, we examine the parable of the wedding banquet. Jesus designed this parable to rebuke the leadership of Israel for not coming to faith. He also uses the parable to show that Israel's leadership will be replaced by others who do come to faith and bear fruit. We also learn that the only way any person can be compatible with God's great Messianic Banquet, i...

In Revelation 3:1-6, Jesus addresses the church in Sardis with one of the most sobering warnings given to any of the seven churches: "You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead."

Christ calls this church—and every church and believer today—to wake up, strength...

Question 31 asks why Jesus is called "Christ," or "Anointed." The name Christ is the Greek equivalent of Messiah, meaning "Anointed One." Jesus is the promised Messiah who fulfills the Old Testament prophecies. His name, Jesus Christ, points to both His person and His work: the Lord who saves is the Anointed One. Confessing that Jesus is the Christ is therefore a confession of faith that He is the...
