Overview- Jesus Stands Before The Governor. Matthew 27:11-26. In our sermon this week we read of how the religious leaders bring Jesus Christ to stand before Pilot, the governor of Judea, so that they could accuse Him, for they were trying to get Pilot to put Him to death. While the Jewish leaders are accusing Jesus, what is Pilot concerned about? Just how intent were the religious leaders in gett...

Overview- The Terrible End Of Judas The Betrayer. Matt 27:1-10. In our sermon today we start out finding out what happens to Jesus after the bogus trial that the religious leaders hold for Him in the court of the high priest. But right after Matthew tells us what happens to Jesus after the trial, he switches to the account of the terrible end of Judas the betrayer. We find out that Judas becomes r...

Overview- Their Verdict of Him Was Guilty, And Their Sentence Of Him was Death. Matthew 26:46-57. In our last sermon, we looked at how Judas came with a multitude of Roman soldiers to arrest Christ in the garden, and this week we get to see where they take Him. Where did they take Him? They take Him to a trial that was set up by the high priest and the council of the Sanhedrin, in the high priests...

Overview- Peter’s Silly Attempt To Rescue Jesus. Matthew chapter 26:47-56. In our sermon today we looked at the next major event following Jesus Christ’s famous prayer in the garden with His disciples, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” What is this next major event? Judas comes bringing a multitude of Roman soldiers to arrest...

Overview- The 5 Principles Christ Practiced In The Garden. Matthew 26:36-46. In our message today we studied what Christ did in the garden of Gethsemane with His disciples, right before Judas comes with the soldiers to take Him away. But in this message the Lord led me to teach it a little different than normal. We actually look at 5 amazing principles that Jesus Christ practiced in the garden wit...

Overview- It Happened Just As Christ Said. Matthew 26:31-35 & 69-75. In our message today we read about Jesus telling Peter and the disciples that they were going to forsake Him and be scattered from Him, and we read of these things coming to pass. Jesus tells His disciples that they were going to forsake Him, but He was just quoting them the prophesy of Zachariah 13:7, where God foretold the even...

Overview- Christ In The Passover. Matthew 26:26-30. In our message we finish what we started last week in regards to Jesus and His disciples eating the Passover meal of the Jews. Now the Jews had celebrated this Passover meal off and on since God instituted it over 3,000 years before Jesus Christ ever lived, and they had done it a certain way for all that time. But as we read today in our text, Je...

Overview- The Savior Exposes His Betrayer. Matthew 26:17-25. In our message today I talked about the topic of God’s sovereignty which is very misunderstood among Christians. God being Sovereign just means that He has the right to do what He wants to do among mankind. Some people take the fact that God is sovereign to mean that He is in control of every single thing that people do, but is that the...

Overview- The Betrayal Of Christ, By Judas. Matthew 26:14-16. In our message today we read of the sad act of Judas betraying Jesus Christ to the religious leaders for the disgustingly small amount of 30 pieces or 30 shekels of silver. But why did Judas betray Jesus Christ? And why did he only sell Him out for 30 pieces of silver, which was no more than a year’s salary? We focus on these questions...

Overview: El Roi- The God Who Sees. Matthew 26:1-13. In our message today we focus on the God who sees, or El Roi as Hagar calls Him in Genesis 16:13. We then talk about how Jesus emphasizes to His disciples, for the 3rd or 4th time at least, the fact that He was going to be taken away from them in just a little while. Lastly, we switch scenes, like in a movie, to the evil hearted religious leader...

Overview- The Separation Of The Sheep And The Goats. Matthew 25:31-46. In our sermon today we study Jesus' words about a time that is to come where He will separate the peoples of the nations as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, so that He can judge them. He puts the sheep on His right hand, while He puts the goats on His left hand. The sheep will spend their eternity in God's Kingdom...

Overview- Is Your Faith Productive? Matthew chapter 25:14-30. In our message today we study the parable of the talents, where Jesus tells us that there are 3 different servants who receive some talents from their Master, who then leaves to go to a far away country. And when their Lord comes back he settles up accounts with each of them. Two of them receive good from their Lords hand, but one recei...

Overview- The Wise & The Foolish Virgins. Matthew 25:1-13. In this week’s message we study Jesus’ second teaching or illustration on the importance of Christians living watchful lifestyles, or faithful and repentant lifestyles until He returns. This week He gives us a parable about a Bridegroom that has gone away, and is coming back and 10 virgins (5 wise & 5 foolish) that are waiting for Him to r...

Overview- Which Path Are You On? Matthew 24:45-51. We closed our message last week with Jesus exhortation on just how important it is for God's kids to live a watchful lifestyle until He returns, and I had said that Jesus thought this topic was so important that He takes His next two teachings to illustrate this point. So in our message today we study Jesus' first teaching and illustration on just...

Overview -His Return Will Be Unexpected, Will You Be Ready? Matthew 24:36-44. Jesus starts out His message, and so do I, with a huge point about His return. What is this huge point? “The only one that knows the exact time and date of My return is God”. He then tells them that His return will be very unexpected, and because of this they should stay watchful and ready. But why would Jesus tell them...

Overview- When Will Jesus Christ Really Come Back? Matthew 24:29-35. In our message today I go through and describe at what time period in which the scriptures show us that Jesus Christ will really come back to earth. I am not setting an exact time, date, or hour that He will return, rather I go through the scriptures and show us what time period He will return. The scriptures clearly tell us at w...

Overview: The Signs Of The End Of The Age Part 2. Matthew 24:15-28. In our message today we read about a tremendous sign of the end of the age/world. Jesus tells us of a prophesy that the prophet Daniel gives us in the Book of Daniel chapter 9 about the abomination of desolation that stands in the holy place. Who is the abomination of desolation that Daniel and Jesus Christ are referring to? What...

Overview: The Signs Of The End Of The Age Part 1. Matthew 24:3-14. In our message today we looked at some of the signs of the end of the age/world that Jesus gave to His disciples along with some of the dangers that they and even we would have to face as we live our lives until the end comes. The end of the world will come at some point, will you be ready for it? May God bless you as you seek Him...

Overview: The Things Of This World Are Passing Away Day By Day. Matthew 24:1-3. In our message today we read about how the disciples of Jesus come to Him to show Him the very humanly impressive buildings of the temple. Jesus causally tells them that not one stone shall be left here upon another, so telling them that what they thought was so impressive, was not important to Him at all. Why wasn’t J...

Overview: He Loved Them In Spite Of Them. Matthew 23:37-39. After Jesus gets done chastising these religious leaders for their hypocrisy, He shows us His amazing grace and love for these guys and all of Israel that was in rebellion against God by giving a little (but powerful) speech that proves He loved them in spite of all of their evil ways and sinfulness. But God’s love for the Jews is not lim...

Overview: They Were The Ultimate Hypocrites. Matthew 23:1-36. A couple weeks ago we read about how the Pharisees send a scribe to ask Jesus a question that they hope will divide His followers from Him, and they fail because Jesus answers them with a divine answer. And last week we read about how Jesus asks them a question to test them about how David could call his Son, Lord, and they fail to answ...

Overview: The Son Of God & The Son Of Man. Matthew 22:41-45. In our message today we study the question of Jesus to the Pharisees about why David called the Christ, who was his bloodline son, his Lord in Psalm 110:1. These Pharisees had often come to Jesus Christ attacking Him by asking Him testing questions, but this time, Jesus goes after them by giving them a testing question of His own. Did th...

Overview: A Question To Divide. Matthew 22:34-40. In our sermon today we read about the Pharisees who send one of their team, who is a scribe, to test Jesus with a question about which commandment of God, from His law, is the greatest. Now previously the Pharisees, as well as their disciples, had already tried to test Jesus with other questions, in hopes of being able to trip Him up and get a hold...

Overview: God Is Not The God Of The Dead, But Of The living. Matthew 22:23-33. In our message today, we read about how the Sadducees come to Christ with a question concerning the resurrection from the dead, which is also afterlife that they don’t believe in. Who are the Sadducees, and why don’t they believe in a literal resurrection or an afterlife? And why would these same Sadducees come to Jesus...
