Sermons on Faith
We see the compassion of Jesus as he laments over Jerusalem and describes his willingness to save.
When Jesus came down from the mountain, he was immediately confronted with the failure of the disciples to do what he had given them the power to do (i.e., cast out a demon). Here Jesus seems to be most frustrated in his ministry. But Jesus brings healing and explains the need for the disciples to exercise their faith. We will consider the nature of saving faith and how the resurrection of Christ makes all the difference in our spiritual warfare.
We will conclude our series on Genesis. The text will be Genesis 50:22-26. We will also consider Hebrews 11:22. Joseph is not only a type of Christ but also an example of faith to us
We will be considering the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13. We will also be considering Peter’s message in 2 Peter 1:16-21
After beginning to explain his true mission and what awaits him in Jerusalem, Jesus issues this call to discipleship. This call to discipleship is the main vow of membership in the church. We will see that this call is given in light of the gospel. Jesus also gives us three statements that support and encourage us in this life of faith.
In our text, Matthew16:21-23, Jesus begins to set his face to go to Jerusalem to die on the cross. He begins to teach his disciples what will happen to him there, but Peter, as the spokesman, does not yet understand the necessity of the cross.
Matthew 16:13-20, is a key passage for both the structure and the message of Matthew’s gospel. It has been much abused and neglected.
Reference: Matthew 15:21-28 We see a contrast between the reception of Jesus among the scribes and Pharisees and among the gentiles. In our text, this Canaanite woman is presented as an example of faith to us. We will consider how we are to be encouraged in our faith by seeing Jesus’ response to her. Sermon…
We will continue in the gospel of Matthew. Our text is Matthew 15:1-20. Here Jesus exposes religious hypocrisy. We will consider these three points. 1. Jesus’ conflict with Jewish authorities. 2. Jesus’ explanation of the true source of sin. 3. The implications for our faith.
