Speaker: Claude Atcho Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35 Episode Overview: Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness begins with Peter’s practical question: how many times must we forgive someone who sins against us?

Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus reveals the astonishing contrast between the immeasurable debt God has forgiven us a...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 9:35-10:15 Episode Overview: What happens when the good news of Jesus takes root deeply enough in us that we want others to know it too? In Matthew 9:35-10:15, Jesus moves His disciples from seeing the need to joining Him in the work. Evangelism isn't reserved for a few especially gifted Christians, nor does it require us to have every answer or carry the re...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 9:35-36 Episode Overview: Jesus does not look upon harassed and helpless people with indifference. In Matthew 9:35–36, we see the heart of the Good Shepherd who sees human suffering, is moved with deep compassion, and comes to rescue.

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 9:14-17 Episode Overview: Jesus confronts a deeply rooted misunderstanding about the Christian life: the idea that God’s acceptance rises and falls with our spiritual performance.

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13 Episode Overview: Overview: Jesus’ call of Matthew reveals the foundation of our relationship with God: we are not accepted because of our performance, but because Jesus obeyed. Matthew was not pursuing Jesus or presenting a life worthy of His attention. He was sitting at his tax booth when Jesus came to him and said, “Follow me.” Jesus then welcomed...

Speaker: Dane Burgess Scripture: Matthew 9:1-8 Episode Overview: Jesus looks beyond the need everyone can see to the deeper need that only He can fully know. When a paralyzed man is brought before Him, Jesus first speaks words of forgiveness: “Take heart, my son. Your sins are forgiven.” The healing that follows is not merely an act of compassion or a demonstration of power—it is visible proof tha...

Speaker: Dane Burgess Scripture: Matthew 8:23–34 Episode Overview: Fear has a way of exposing how little control we really have. In Matthew 8:23–34, Jesus meets His disciples in the middle of a terrifying storm, confronts the powers of evil, and then reveals something equally important about the human heart: we can want Jesus to rescue us without wanting Him to rule us. Yet throughout the passage,...

Speaker: Luke Brandon Scripture: Matthew 8:18-22 Episode Overview: Jesus' words in Matthew 8:18-22 challenge the assumptions we often bring to discipleship.

Speaker: Luke Brandon Scripture: Matthew 8:1-17 Episode Overview: Jesus' authority is not only seen in what He teaches, but in what He does.

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 7.13-29 Episode Overview: As Jesus brings the Sermon on the Mount to its conclusion, He calls every listener to make a decision. The choice isn't simply between being religious or irreligious—it is between trusting ourselves or trusting Christ. Matthew 7:13–29 reveals two gates, two paths, and two destinations, reminding us that real righteousness begins wit...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 7:7-12 Episode Overview: Jesus' invitation to "ask, seek, and knock" is far more than encouragement to pray occasionally—it is a call to live every day as children who confidently depend on a perfectly good Father. In Matthew 7:7-12, we discover that the foundation of prayer is not our worthiness or persistence, but God's character and the finished work of C...

Speaker: Dane Burgess Scripture: Matthew 7:1-6 Episode Overview: Jesus' command, "Judge not," is one of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—statements in Scripture. In Matthew 7:1-6, Jesus isn't calling His followers to ignore sin or abandon discernment. Instead, He confronts the pride and hypocrisy that make us harsh toward others while remaining blind to our own need for grace. As citizens of...

Speaker: Dane Burgess Scripture: Matthew 6:22-30 Episode Overview: What we trust reveals what we worship. In Matthew 6:22–30, Jesus exposes the danger of allowing money, possessions, and earthly security to become substitutes for God. The issue is not simply what we own, but what owns us. When we look to wealth and circumstances to give us identity, control, and peace, we place a burden on them th...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 6:19-23 Episode Overview: Jesus invites us to see life through the lens of eternity. In Matthew 6:19–23, He challenges us to examine where we are storing our treasure and whether we are living for what is temporary or what lasts forever. This message explores the reality that this world is not our final home and that the way we use our time, resources, and p...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 6:19-21 Episode Overview: In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus invites us to rethink what we value, what we pursue, and where we place our trust.

Through the words of Jesus and the po...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 6:7-13 Episode Overview: Prayer is far more than a religious routine or a polished performance.

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 6:1-18 Episode Overview: Jesus warns that it’s possible to do all the right things for all the wrong reasons. In Matthew 6:1–18, He confronts the subtle temptation to seek the approval of people instead of the reward that comes from the Father who sees in secret. Giving, praying, and fasting are not rejected—they are expected. But Christ calls His people to...

Speaker: Rob Berreth Scripture: Matthew 5:38-48 Episode Overview: What happens when Jesus calls us beyond fairness into something far more demanding—and far more beautiful?

The focus is on the reality of the “Word of Life,” the invitation into fellowsh...
