Gospel Saving Church

Overview: Give To Caesar What Is Caesar's And To God What Is Gods. Matthew 22:15-22. In our sermon this week, first we talked about how the religious leaders responded to the rebukes of Jesus in the parables that He had just given them. They could have repented, but instead they chose to harden their hearts and send their disciples to attack Jesus through their disciples. Next we took a look at ho...

In our message today, we study Jesus' second parable to the religious leaders, concerning their scornful question to Him, "by what authority are You doing these things", and their scornful answer to Jesus' question to them about where John the Baptist's baptism was from.

Overview – The Parable Of The Two Sons. Matthew 21:28-32. In our message today we looked at the Jesus’ continued comments to the religious leaders about their question to Him of “By what authority are you doing these things?”, and the answer they gave Him about where John the Baptist’s baptism came from, in their confrontation with Him in the temple while He was teaching. Jesus has a lot to tell t...

Overview – By What Authority Are You Doing These Things? Matthew 21:23-27. Today in our sermon we read about how Jesus answers those religious Pharisees who come and ask Him who gave Him the authority to do all the things He was doing, while He was teaching the people in the temple. Jesus doesn’t just tell them out right who gave Him His authority, but gives them a roundabout answer involving John...

Overview - God Is Not A Genie. Matthew 21:20-22. In our message today we discussed faith. Jesus makes a radical statement in Matthew 21:22, and says, “Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive”. This has been taken by many to mean that as long as we have faith whenever we pray, for whatever we want, God is bound to grant us our request, no matter what we ask for. Today we look...

Overview- Is Jesus Christ The Real Jewish Messiah? Isaiah Chapter 53. In our previous messages leading up to this week, we have been focusing on how Jesus was proclaiming Himself to be the Jewish Messiah. I felt the Lord tell me this week that He wanted me to go over some Jewish scriptural prophesy that pointed to Jesus Christ actually being the real Jewish Messiah. The Lord pointed out Isaiah cha...

Overview- Jesus Curses The Fig Tree, But Why? Matthew 21:18-19. In our message today we read about how, a hungry Jesus comes up to a fig tree (outside the season of figs), expecting the tree to have food so He can eat, but the fig tree has no fruit on it. So Jesus gets angry with the tree and curses it, and so it withers away. Now why would Jesus get angry with the tree for not having food, when i...

Overview- Special Christmas Night Service 2014. Luke 2:1-20. Christmas is such a special time for me and my family. I love this time of the year because it reminds me of the great sacrifice that God gave to send His only begotten Son to this earth to be born a baby. The King of all creation stepped into our world as a child to redeem mankind from the penalty of sin. That is incredible. And that’s...

Overview- Jesus Proclaims Himself Messiah. Matthew 21:12-17. In our sermon today we read about how Jesus goes into the Temple of God, after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and turns over the tables of the money changers and those who bought and sold there.

Come take Communion with us. God Bless you Pastor Ed

Overview: Hosanna To The Son Of David. Matthew 21:1-11 In our message today we talked about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a young colt, and how it was a prophesy that the real Jewish Messiah had to fulfill in order be the true one. WJesus makes a very bold statement by having His disciples bring Him this colt just so He could ride into Jerusalem on it, because by doing this, He proclaim...

Overview - Their Cry For Help, Made Him Stand Still. Matthew 20:29-34. In our sermon today we read of an account where two blind beggars hear of Christ passing by them, and they cry out to Jesus, and their cry causes Him to stand still. And not only did He stand still, He helped them in their time of need. Why did their cry cause Jesus to stand still and help them? If I cry out to Jesus today, wil...

Overview - It Shall Not Be So Among You. Matthew 20:20-28. In our message today we look at the lust for power and authority of the two disciples James and John, as they bring their mother to ask something of Jesus. These two disciples wanted to sit in premier spots in Jesus’ Kingdom, hence wanting to have authority over the other disciples and everyone else in His Kingdom as well. Jesus uses their...

Overview- The Important Message Of Christ. Matthew, chapter 20:17-19. In our message today take a look at the important message Jesus gave to His 12. In Matthew 20 verses 17-19 Jesus tells His disciples that they are headed for Jerusalem, and while there, He is going to be betrayed, killed, and resurrected from the dead. How do we know that this message was so important to Him? Just one way we loo...

Overview - The Last Will Be First, And The First Last. Matthew 20:1-16. In our message today I take a large passage of scripture in Matthew chapter 20 where Jesus gives us a Kingdom of Heaven parable but doesn’t give us the interpretation. Whenever you have a parable without an interpretation, it can be easy to just come up with just any interpretation. That is dangerous, and not what God wants. M...

Overview - What Good Thing Shall I Do That I May Have Eternal Life? Matthew 19:16-22. In our message this week we study the question given to Jesus by a rich young ruler “What Good Thing Shall I Do That I May Have Eternal Life”. Jesus answers him with a couple of different answers, and those answers seem to contradict one another. But do they really? The young rich ruler is not satisfied with eith...

Overview - The Loving, Warm, And Welcoming Aura Of Christ. Matthew 19:13-15. In our message today we look at the amazing way Jesus Christ lovingly and warmly welcomed those who came to Him with little children, even though people were always coming to Him and requesting things of Him. He was never too tired to help others with their needs. Nobody outdoes Jesus Christ in the category of love. His l...

Overview - Are You An Eunuch For The Kingdom Of Heaven (In Spirit)? Matthew 19:11-12. In our message today we studied Jesus’ words about how God gives a charge to some to be Eunuch’s for His Kingdom. This is a person who has made a decision to set aside marriage and live a celibate lifestyle for the sake of the Kingdom of God, and put the things of God first in His or Her life. Now Jesus says that...

Overview - Satan's Agenda Against Christians. In our message today we step outside of our normal box. Normally I teach verse by verse, but today the Lord has a special message for us on marriage, and the war satan has waged against Christians. The devil has waged war against Christians and their marriages and families in our world, and this message exposes his evil tactics and will give you some w...

Overview - Is It Legal For A Man To Divorce His Wife For Just Any Reason, In God’s Eyes. Matthew 19:1-10. In our message today I teach on the very difficult topic that Jesus taught on, about whether or not divorce is lawful or legal in God’s eyes. So I discuss this question brought to Christ by the Pharisees and Jesus’ answer to their question. Divorce is an epidemic in America, with the divorce r...

Overview - God Is Serious About Forgiveness. Matthew 18:21-35. In our message today, we read that Peter comes to Jesus upon the topic of how many times he should have to forgive a brother who sins against him. Peter thinks it generous to offer an amount of 7 times that he would forgive a brother who sins against him, while Jesus tells him that the amount of times he should forgive that brother sho...

Overview - Steps To Handling A Sinning Brother. Matthew chapter 18:15-20. Unfortunately Christians aren’t perfect people, and we don’t always handle situations in a perfect way with other Christians. Sometimes we may sin against other Christians, or offend them, and maybe we didn’t even mean to do it. Well in our sermon today, Jesus gives us the practical and powerful steps to take when dealing wi...
