3.1.20 - The Jesus We Need: Someone to Withstand Temptation (Matthew 4:1-11)
March 02, 2020 00:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MBPeople in Jesus’s time wanted the Messiah to be very different than who Jesus was. Still today, we often desire that the central figure of our faith isn’t like Jesus. We want a conquering hero arriving with his armies of angels. Instead, we find a willing, suffering servant. The Bible makes it clear that the Jesus we get is far greater than we could have ever designed. He meets all our greatest needs from forgiveness to peace in times of trouble to eternal life with him in heaven. In Matthew...

Over the past seven weeks, we have seen why Jesus came—to reconnect us with God. We have seen that we are here to connect to God, his Word, his world, his people, and his work. So where do we go from here? We would love for everything to be all glory and success unending, but Jesus teaches us today that the path to true, eternal glory leads down the mountain to the cross. Where do we go from here? We go with Je...

January 12, 2020 17:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MBThere is something about Matthew 3:13-17 that makes you scratch your head. Jesus presents himself to be baptized. Why?

December 29, 2019 19:00 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MBSo quickly the trappings of Christmas disappear. So quickly the season’s trends become after-Christmas clearance.

The Light sent to shatter the darkness of guilt and unbelief and death is almost here. Yet there is still so much darkness in our world, so much darkness in our lives, so much darkness in our hearts.

December 08, 2019 21:00 - 18 minutes - 12.9 MBWhen you are in the dark and are unsure about where to go, you look for even the smallest glimmer of light to guide you through the darkness. As Christians, we live in a world filled with the deep darkness of sin and death. In fact, our sinful natures leave us in darkness. So we need to look to the Light, which shows us what is in our path and where our path is headed to safety and life. God’s prophet Isaiah directs us to the light of the coming Christ. We look to that Light with repentant h...
