In part 3 of this final series in the book of Matthew, Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested. In this passage, the trial of humanity is put on display and we learn that we’ve all played a part in the death of the Christ.
In Matthew 26:1-13, Jesus has just concluded his public ministry and has returned to the friendly confines of a friend’s home in Bethany. While there, a woman pours out expensive perfume on him in an act of love and adoration. While his disciples aren’t sure this was such a great use of valuable perfume, Jesus praises the act. Friend of Exeter Valley Church Lori Riley, shows us how this act isn’t a waste, it’s worship.
In Matthew 24:1-35 Jesus teaches his disciples what they can expect at the end of the age. In this message, Noel Piepgrass shows us how Jesus wants us to live in an age that can feel like the end is near.
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!
In Matthew 12:38-50 Jesus responds to the Pharisee’s request for a sign proving his divinity. In detailing his response, Matthew points us to what Jesus calls The Sign of Jonah, a parable about a haunted house, and a short interaction between Jesus and some family members. In these 3 stories, we see a common theme: Jesus is God’s Sign. In his life, death, and resurrection we have all the proof we need. The key is our response. Will we make Jesus our Lord?

IIn this scene from the Garden of Gethsemene, the gospels depict Jesus’s overwhelming sorrow as he faces the reality of his impending death.
Michael Seaward shows us why this agony was so intense and what we can learn from the prayer it led Jesus to pray.
