What is Revival?

As the days grow evil, many followers of Christ cry out for Revival, but what are they asking for? As we wade into Matthew chapter 3, we are seeing one of the greatest Revivals in human history play out. Join us as we look at what a Revival is, as well as how they begin.

How Heaven Defines Greatness

All of us should desire to be great in the Kingdom of God. But how do we define greatness? We come now in our study of Matthew to John the Baptist, whom Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist”. What is it that made John so great? Join us as we look into Heaven’s definition of greatness.

Spiritual Warfare

The Scriptures tell us that we are surrounded by an invisible world that is in conflict. And our lives are affected by the outcome of that conflict. The Bible refers to it as spiritual warfare. But what is our role, and how can we be over comers within this conflict? Join us as we continue in our study in the Gospel of Matthew as Christ Himself gives us insights on how to live victoriously.

The Popularity of the Messiah

In the gospel of Matthew chapter 4, Matthew is describing Israel’s early response to Jesus Christ. Join us as we see how exciting it must have been to be a part of these large crowds gathering around the promised Messiah.

Genealogy of the Messiah

As we begin our verse-by-verse study of the New Testament, the first thing we are confronted with is seventeen verses of names. This of course is the family tree of the messiah. And what we learn is that we are not exactly looking at the best that humanity had to offer. Join us as we discover that Christ was connected to great sinners even before His birth.

The Incarnation

Finishing out chapter one of Matthew, we come to the description of the Incarnation. It is the holiest mystery in all of Scripture. This event happens for a single purpose. Join us as we look at the great reason for God becoming flesh.

Magi form the East

Matthew was a former employee of the Roman government, so it’s not surprising that he’s give us an understanding into what was happening in government at the time of the birth of Christ. Arriving at chapter two, he introduces us to a strange cast of characters. What we will learn is that much of what we believe about the birth of Christ is rooted more in tradition than in the Scripture.

Finding the Will of God

The Scriptures portray God as a God that leads. We find numerous examples of God leading nations and individuals alike. We serve a God who wants to lead us into His will for our lives. So, the question becomes, “how can we know the will of God?”. Join us as we see in Matthew chapter 2, God guiding a family into His will for their lives.

Forsaking Your Own Mercy

One of the clear messages throughout the Scripture is that if we refuse to do life God’s way, we are only shooting ourselves in our own foot. As we close chapter two, we are given examples of those who resisted God and those who submitted to God. Join us as we discover the different directions that those two attitudes will take us in.
