Missionary updates from Gerald & Bev Huebner, working with camp ministry in the Ukraine, and Jeremy & Jacqui Warne, church planting in Italy.

The kingdom of God is here already, but not yet fully. Christ has given more instruction on how His kingdom is to be made increasingly visible in the lives of His people. In His kingdom, the way to dominion is through suffering, the way up is down, and the way to greatness is through humility. We must become like children to live in this kingdom – trusting, dependant, filled with awe and wonder, t...

The gospel writers were inspired to reveal to us the Son of Man that was prophesied in Daniel 7. This morning's passage is a reminder that while He took on flesh and became a man, He retained His divinity and supremacy over all things. No earthly power has authority over Him. Yet, for the sake of the coming kingdom, He was slow to cause unnecessary stumbling blocks as neither should we. Most impor...

Matt was a guest on Riley Toews's "Ask a Pastor" podcast to discuss education and the classical Christian option.

In the story of the demon-possessed boy, we see the results of the fall coming into contact with the ministry of Christ's disciples. This is an early encounter in the long war for the cosmos. This war continues today, and so we can no doubt relate to the experience of these men as they encountered failure. Our faith is likewise too weak, too distracted, too misguided, too subject to doubts and to...

Peter, James, and John receive the honour of being eyewitnesses to one of the most glorious events in human history. Together, with Moses and Elijah, they have the profound and long anticipated blessing of seeing God the Son as He truly is, with unveiled faces, in all His refulgent glory. Towards the end of his life, Peter looks back to this day and tells us that what we have now is even better th...

"But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one....

Baptism is a symbol. It isn't magic. It's not superstitious. But it is real. It is a potent sign and seal in which God truly ministers to us. In baptism, we have a physical reminder of God's promises that death is followed by resurrection, that repentance is completed with faith, and that the old man is replaced by the new man. In our baptism, we aren't so much giving something to God as we are re...

We have found ourselves in a time where the consequences of ideas are reaching their logical conclusions. The God-forsaken unbelieving philosophies of the 1920s, 1940s, and 1960s are no longer constrained by outwardly Christian customs. This means our age is lost. Unbelieving ideas are attempting to create a chaotic hellscape on earth. Our age is looking for a compelling story to explain history a...

Christ's warning of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees gives us a clear picture of the dangers of false teaching. Like leaven that permeates and transforms a loaf, so too false doctrine can infiltrate and destroy the faith of those who lose their focus on Christ and his Word. The religious leaders in Jesus' day had done just that, allowing their own ideas and fleshly desires to blind them t...

Every detail of Christ's activity, miracles, and teaching are interwoven so as to tell one big story. The story of the old covenant terminates into Christ, and this is the story that the Pharisees and Sadducees are unable to see, no matter how close it gets to them. The Pharisees were so consumed with reading sentences that they missed the plot. The Sadducees were so consumed with neglecting sente...

Christ is the head of a new humanity. He is knitting together a kingdom of priests from all the corners of the earth. When the scribes and Pharisees reject what Christ is offering, He goes to the obscure corners to bring outsiders in. What started as a single Canaanite woman happy like a dog for crumbs has become a small city being fed a full meal, equal to that of the children. Christ starts with...

The Canaanite woman is a glorious example of what humility and perseverance look like when they are both present in the same person. This woman has been blessed with the insight to see past the physical display of Christ's miracles and into their meaning. She sees that flour and oil and bread and crumbs have to do with God's abundant provision and Fatherly care for those who are His. This Fatherly...
