Lord of the Cast Off 02.04.2017 ↓

Jesus is Lord and King; He is Messiah and Savior…but His kingdom is unexpectedly filled with the least likely people: the cast off. Until we realize who we are and who we are not we will never enter into the Lord’s kingdom. Pastor Matt unpacks two passages from Luke where Jesus encounters the cast off in society and demonstrates the upside-down value system of the Kingdom of God.

The Sent Son 19.03.2017 28:45 ↓

Jesus comes as the anticipated Son of God. This causes quite a stir, but why is it important? We will explore two passages to get our minds around this: Luke 20:1-8 (the authority of Jesus questioned) and Luke 20:9-19 (the Parable of the Tenants).

The New Temple 12.03.2017 42:19 ↓

Jesus offers strong words against the temple once He has entered into Jerusalem. Together with Pastor Matt, let’s try to grasp what it means that there is a new temple arriving as Jesus comes to Jerusalem as king.

Lord of the Sabbath 05.03.2017 ↓

Why is it significant that Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and what does that tell us about His crossroads journey? Pastor Matt examines two significant episodes on this: Luke 6:1-11 (Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath) and Luke 13:10-17 (Jesus heals a crippled woman on the Sabbath).

Word and Deed 18.12.2016 33:24 ↓

Jesus begins His ministry with word and deed, proclamation and demonstration, of the Kingdom of God coming into the midst of the earth through Him. He has come to bring good news. He tells of that good news and He shows that good news in healing and deliverance.

Wilderness 04.12.2016 28:07 ↓

Entering into the story of Israel, the Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness, where He is tested by the devil. His testing shows us what His way is really all about. His testing shows us how to endure the tests of the wilderness.

Prepare 27.11.2016 ↓

John the Baptist appears as a forerunner to the Messiah. John is the Elijah-like prophet foretold, crying out in the wilderness for people to prepare for the Lord. Jesus comes to be baptized and we know He is the one for whom we all have been preparing.
