The Authority of The Kingdom (The Matthew Series)
This week we're finishing up Matthew chapter 16 and discussing some of the most important moments in this account of the life and ministry of Jesus.
We're starting off by breaking down the divine revelation of Jesus as the Son of God given to Peter by God and beauty of the transformational work that God has and will be doing in Peter.
We move onto discussing some of the points that tend to trip people up when discussing this portion of scripture. We define the divine responsibility that Peter and the disciples are being given in these moments and what that means for shaping the church. We also take time to define what Jesus is referring to when He gives the authority to "bind and loose" but we do so in the full context of the time, Jesus's words and purpose for doing so as well as dispel some really big misconceptions about this section of scripture.
Next we follow Peter's reaction to Jesus beginning to explain his messianic mission and the things He will have to endure and experience. We watch as Peter has a very human reaction and we discuss the dangers of it means to set our minds on earthly things rather than the things of God.
Lastly we break down Jesus's command to give up ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him, what that looks like and why it's so important to understand what He's getting at when He says that. We close with the beautiful promise He gives.

More Than a Healing (Matthew Series)
16 RecommendationsMore Than a Healing (Matthew Series)
This week we're finishing up Matthew 15 by discussing another portrayal of Jesus healing and feeding but this time we're peeling back the layers and setting the context for what's happening here in a effort to uncover the radical beauty of God's heart for humanity that is on full display to a group of "outsiders" and explore what that looks like us for people who are technically "outsiders" ourselves.
Then we're moving on the chapter 16 where we are discussing an interaction that takes place between Jesus and the religious leaders and the following warning He gives to his disciples about the dangers of false teaching.
As we discuss what's happening, we're going to take the beat to discuss what that does and doesn't mean for us as believers today and differences between being prepared and on guard and hunting out "false teachers".

Who Is The Greatest?
15 RecommendationsThis week we're working our way through Matthew Chapter 17. We're starting off with the miraculous event of Jesus's Transfiguration where He meets with Moses and Elijah. We dig into the significant of the fulfillment of the mission and purpose of the Law and Prophets as well as the reaction of the disciples that were present for it. We also get a chance to "see" a stunning display from God in response to Peter's statements to Jesus.
Next we see an instance of Jesus's frustration to the unbelief of His followers when He is brought a demon possessed boy that the disciples couldn't help and dig into the implications of having faith the size of a mustard in hopes of clarifying what Jesus is getting at especially in light of His reminder about what is coming for Him.
From there we get a reminder from Jesus not to cause unneeded controversy and how to conduct ourselves among the world.
We end off with some sobering words from Jesus about sin, temptation and a reminder of what it means to be the Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
