On Easter Sunday, Noel Piepgrass shares from 1 Peter 1:3-4 how Jesus resurrection brings us into a living hope for both now and later.
In the first part of a 7 week series on the end of Jesus’ life from the Gospel of Matthew, Noel shows us how Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper as a means of demonstrating God’s plan of salvation through his atoning work on the cross.
In Matthew 10:16-23, Jesus gives his disciples a warning about the troubles to come as they continue on mission with him. In this passage we see that in Jesus pain has a purpose and it comes with a promise. 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 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
Noel announces to the church his plans to transition out of leadership and hand the church over to a successor. In his message to the church, he reminds them that God gives each of us roles to play, the church is built on His leadership rather than any human’s hands.
