February 17, 2013 | Matthew 18:5-14 - Primum Non Nocere: The Kingdom & the Treatment of Children

Sunday we continued to walk through Jesus' discourse in Matthew 18 on being children in the Kingdom of God. In vs. 5-14, Jesus warns against harming children. We instead, must be holy. Holiness goes farther than personal holiness, but affects others.

February 10, 2013 | Matthew 18:1-4 - Children Only: The Secret to being great in the Kingdom of God

Last Sunday we began one of five major discourses in Matthew's Gospel. We've already looked at a few of them. These include the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and the Kingdom Parables (Matthew 13). Now we look at this discourse that uses the imagery of children to describe what it means to be citizens of the Kingdom of God. We begin with the truth that in order to enter the Kingdom, we must be like children and humble.

January 27, 2013 | Matthew 17:24-27 - We Are Free Indeed: The Glorious Truth of the Gospel

24 When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?” 25 He *said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?” 26 When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are exempt. 27 However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
