Going Home.

Going Home. Matthew 2.19-23

Being able to picture loved ones in their homes—especially when they are far from us—is not just informative, but reassuring and even heart-warming.

Get up. Go!

Get up. Go! Matthew 2.13-15

Joseph had such tremendous responsibility as the protector of the Savior baby and his beloved wife, Mary, mother of Jesus. Once again, God speaks to Joseph in a dream about the parenting of the Most High.

“After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up! Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother,” the angel said. “Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is going…

Scandalous from the start

Scandalous from the start. Matthew 1.1-17 podcast:

Of all the ways to begin his gospel, why in the world would Matthew start with begats and begots in 17 verses of mostly unfamiliar names that are difficult to pronounce? Why start the gospel – the good news of Jesus Christ with a genealogy? Simply, the bloodline of Jesus Christ was keenly important to establish him as the long-awaited Messiah. (Realize that Messiah and Christ are the same word—Messiah in Hebrew;… Continue

this Changes Everything

This Changes Everything. Titus 2.11, 1-10

Why the Gospel? We are on the brink of the Gospel of Matthew--why read the Gospel (which means Good News) of Jesus coming into the world? -> What difference does it make—or does it?

One of the strongest cases for Christianity is the radical life-changing power it wields. Have you ever known anyone who was ‘hard after it’ in terms of worldly passions and pursuits, who was radically changed by the power of the… Continue
