In Matthew 23, Jesus talks to his disciples about hypocrisy. His words are harsh and poignant, but they are given in love to his disciples as warnings against the perils of false religion. Noel Piepgrass shows us how we can get off track when what we practice doesn’t match what we preach.
In the first installment of this 3 part mini-series in the Gospel of Matthew, “Who is Jesus?”, Noel Piepgrass shows us how Jesus shows mercy to two blind men who recognize him as their Lord and Messiah.
In Matthew 14:1-12, we find out that Herod has been hearing about the deeds of Jesus. In fact, Matthew tells us Herod actually suspects that John the Baptist has risen from the dead and is the one performing these deeds. In this passage, we learn that John was killed because he took a stand against Herod’s illegitimate marriage and sensual lifestyle. Noel Piepgrass shares how we ought to be willing to take a similar stand against our culture’s wayward views on gender, marriage, and sexuality.
In this message, Noel shows us how Judas’s shame brought about his self-destruction. We too battle shame, but we have hope in Jesus who sets us free!
