Introduction to Matthew

Ryan Lowery

Matthew 1:1-17

The gospel of Matthew starts with a genealogy of Jesus, serving to affirm that Jesus is the promised Messiah. Matthew takes the reader through Jesus' adoptive father Joseph's line, demonstrating how his lineage fulfilled key predictions about the Messiah, including that he would be in the kingly line. Beyond that, it demonstrates that Jesus came from a line of broken, "normal" people--a fully human experience. It shows us that God moves toward us as we are, and doesn't expect us to clean up our act first.

Jesus and John the Baptist

Ben Foust

Matthew 3:1-17

John the Baptist's ministry was to announce the approaching Messiah who would make a way to reconcile the lost world to himself. As John himself encounters Jesus, he discovers Jesus is infinitely more transcendent than he expected and yet, Jesus lowered himself far lower than John could ever have imagined by coming in the form of a common man. John's mind is blown!

Who Is Worthy?

Mike Sullivan

Revelation 5:1-13

The fourth and fifth chapters of Revelation focus on a period of history when God judges sinful humanity. These chapters address the question of who is worthy to judge the whole world. Only a perfectly sinless being could stand in judgment of another being. God is holy and perfect; he has never sinned. He is qualified to judge. \r\nA morally perfect God must judge sin. His perfect justice does not allow sin to go unpunished. So, he sent his perfect, sinless Son to pay the penalty we all deserve.

The Most Important Event in History

Dennis McCallum

Mark 14:32-42

Jesus' crucifixion is clearly the most important event in human history, as it opened the door for man to be reconciled to God. Through the event, Jesus willingly experienced terrible suffering--physically, psychologically, and spiritually--as people mocked and tortured him. In addition he experienced the spiritual agony of being rejected by God, as he took on the punishment for all of man's sins--God's intense wrath toward sin. He did this out of love, allowing us to receive his gift of payment for our sins, and begin a relationship with God.

Do Not Be Ashamed

Ben Foust

2 Timothy 1:7-12

What would be worth enduring shame for? Paul encourages Timothy to join him as a shameless messenger of the good news that saves. The testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes and is, therefor, a worthwhile reason to gladly endure suffering and shame to share this good news. The Gospel is worth it!

Do Good People Go to Heaven?

True Faith vs. Mental Assent

Ryan Lowery

James 2:14-26

James argues that faith without works is a dead faith. Faith and works are not enemies, but they are united. Although we are not saved by works, we do demonstrate the authenticity of our faith by our works. Saving faith is an invisible transaction between God and the receiver of His grace. Works are the visible response to the salvation received. Works demonstrate to a watching word that our faith is genuine and inspires others to learn more about this God we follow.
