Matthew 21:23-32 is a story in which Jesus tells a parable about 2 sons. By Noel Piepgrass
Noel takes a moment to talk about the purposeful work God gave us in the creation account.
With a location shift on the horizon, Noel Piepgrass reflects on how the people of Israel moved in faith as God lead them into the Promised Land. Joshua 3 and 4.
In Matthew 14:22-33 Jesus shows up walking across the sea in the middle of a storm. In faith, Peter steps out of the boat to come to him but is quickly scared of the wind and waves and begins to sink. In this moment of desperation he reaches out to Jesus to be saved and Jesus gives him his hand. Noel Piepgrass shares that the moral of the story is not merely the power of God over the storm, but the way he uses the storm to invoke our worship.
In Matthew 12:22-37, Jesus engages the Pharisees in a controversy about his healing of a demon-possessed, deaf and mute man. Threatened by Jesus, the Pharisees claim he’s healing by the power of Satan. In this passage Jesus warns against blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and tells a parable about our hearts being like a tree that produces fruit. By Noel Piepgrass
In Matthew 20:17-28, Jesus responds to the request for special treatment made by the mother of his disciples James and John. In this passage, we see Jesus’ antidote to misplaced spiritual ambition. By Noel Piepgrass
