Good Morning “Recognizers of The Only One.”  Today we are in Matthew 24. Do you know the Real Thing well enough to recognize a counterfeit?  Government agents trained to recognize counterfeit money don’t study the counterfeits - they study the original.  They know all the details.  Every specific of our currency.  So much so that when they see a fake they know it’s fake immediately.  The same shou...  Read More

Good Morning “Broken and Humble”.  Today we are in Matthew 23.Ever been called a hypocrite?  Gets you fired up doesn’t it?  What is a hypocrite anyway?  According to Siri (the internet) A hypocrite is a person who acts in contradiction to their stated beliefs, virtues, or feelings, often feigning higher standards than they practice.So… if we profess Jesus, and say we believe The Bible and live by ...  Read More

Good Morning “God Lovers”.  Today we are in Matthew 22.Imagine being invited to a royal wedding feast and choosing not to show.  Maybe that’s a big deal, maybe not… but what if you’re the Bride?  Or if you’re the Groom and your Bride doesn’t show?  As we dig in to Matt 22 Jesus is once again using a parable to get His point across.  We all know He’s not talking about an actual wedding feast.  Who ...  Read More

Good Morning “Rejoicing in Salvation.”  Today we are in Matthew 21.When our students return as champions, from a state competition - Eaton honors them with a parade, and maybe even fireworks.  When the President travels, he does so with a grand motorcade.  Anytime one of the Royals does anything -  it’s grand.  Surely when Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, The King of the Jews, Lord of Lords, Savior of ...  Read More

Good Morning “Compassionate”.  Today we are in Matthew 20.Have you ever looked at someone who lives their entire life selfishly, seemingly only for themselves?  If a good tree doesn’t bare bad fruit and a bad tree good fruit (Matthew 7:17-18) then it would seem they are a bad tree.  Have you ever heard someone say, well maybe they turned to Jesus on their death bed?  Maybe like the thief on the cr...  Read More

Good Morning “Rich Men and Women.”  Today we are in Matthew 19.“…for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ This is Gods design for marriage, originally from Genesis 2:24 and repeated here.Ok...  Read More

Good Morning “Like Children.”  Today we are in Matthew 18.There is sooo much here, we could do a whole series of messages just on this chapter.  Sing it with me… “Jesus loves me this I know… for The Bible tells me so.”  In their humility children just accept and believe.  In our prideful arrogance, we argue the Truths of Scripture, pick and choose, and look to somehow justify our flesh instead of ...  Read More

Good Morning “Jesus See-ers”.  Today we are in Matthew 17.  Buckle your seat belt… here we go!  Jesus takes Peter, James and John up to a high mountain and there before them He is transfigured!  Trans whated?  Transfigured!  His clothes became white as the light and His face as bright as the sun!  Yeah!!! Super cool!!! He gave them a little glimpse of Himself as God.  Yup, they answered correctly ...  Read More

Good Morning “Living Stone’s.” Today we are in Matthew 16.Give us a sign.  As if healing the lame, the blind, casting out demons, walking on water are not enough - they want a sign? A wicked generation cannot see The Truth right in front of their eyes.  We’ve seen miracles.  We ourselves, like all life, are miracles from His hand. He has revealed Himself to us ALL universally - through creation, s...  Read More

Good Morning “Clean Hearts.”  Today we are in Matthew 15.Wash your hands before you eat, or… or what?  Wait, are the religious leaders seriously checking Jesus up over He and the Disciples not washing their hands - yup they are.  Jesus responds by putting them right back in their place!“What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles the...  Read More

Good Morning “Water Walkers.”  Today we are in Matthew 14.Horrible tragedy - incredible miracles!- John the Baptist’s head on a platter.  That’s right - a crummy end for the one who heralded the arrival of The Saviour of the World.- Jesus feeds way more than 5k (they only counted the men) with a kids lunch (John 6:9.) John records a boy was there - a boy willing to give all he had for the Kingdom!...  Read More

Good Morning “Spirit Filled.” Today we are in Matthew 13.Jesus begins speaking in parables.  Those with a humble, open, teachable heart will understand those with hard unrepentant hearts will not.  We read the parable of the sower and soon realize Jesus isn’t REALLY talking about sowing crop seed.  He speaks about those who are humbly accepting what Jesus is teaching, those who are learning, apply...  Read More
