Matthew 16:1-12. Jesus warns his disciples of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees. By Noel Piepgrass
In Matthew 13:54-58, we see that Jesus’ hometown was not all that receptive to him. So much so that he did not perform many miracles there. Noel Piepgrass shows us how their unbelief caused them to miss Jesus’s messiahship and how if we’re not careful, we too can miss the power of Jesus. (We had a technical glitch that prevented the original real-time recording so this recording was produced in the office afterward).
In this first message in a series on the first three chapters of the book of Ephesians, Noel shows us how God’s plan has initiated the Christian story and how this plan brings us into a family.
In Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus calls the tax collector Matthew to follow him. Matthew follows immediately and invites his unloveable friends to have dinner with Jesus which upsets the Pharisees and begins a controversy. The good news is, Jesus came for the sick, not for the well. He came for sinners like you and me, not the righteous.
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!
