Good Morning mat lowerers.  What does that mean?  You’ll see - read on in Mark 2.Everywhere Jesus went, a mob gathered and followed.  Some, religious leaders seeking to trip Him up.  Some, seekers wondering what it was all about.  Some, straight up already convinced looking to soak up some of what Jesus was laying down and some, with Faith so strong they were looking to get healed or find healing ...  Read More

Good Morning Call Answerers.  We've finished the book of Matthew, now it's on to Mark.  You will likely notice some similarities as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John share their accounts of what they witnessed with Jesus.  Pay attention to the similarities and note the differences.  If God thought it was important enough to inspire more than once, it's probably important enough for us to be reminded.  ...  Read More

Good Morning Nation Disciplers!  Today we wrap up Matthew with Chapter 28The real Easter story - He is Risen.  Early on the 3rd day an Angel of the Lord that looks like lightning appears and rolls back the stone!  Looks like what?  Lightening it says, with clothes as white as snow.  When Moses wanted to see God, God had to stick his head in a rock Moses could only see Him from the back side as He ...  Read More

Good Morning Jesus “Wanters”, today we look at Matthew 27 - The greatest act of Love the world has ever known.  Jesus, going to the cross, obediently choosing it - “But for the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning it’s shame…”How much pressure are you under to go with the flow?  The anti God / non Biblical movement is real!  Never confuse the will of the majority with the will of God!...  Read More

The plot to kill Jesus, the deal, The Passover (Last Supper) in the upper room, a little last teaching, the arrest, the beginning of trial proceedings (if you can call it that), the scattering of the disciples, and Peter’s denial.  This chapter is jam packed.It’s easy for us to point the finger at Peter, but they all scattered.  How would you react - If you had been hanging with Jesus and it was a...  Read More

Are you ready for the return of Jesus?  Do you believe it’ll be a while yet, before His return - so you got time to get serious, lined out?  Or have you grown weary of waiting and moved on?  The expectation is be ready, be prepared.  We are an incredibly blessed people.  What have you done with the blessings and gifts He has entrusted you with?  We are only stewards - it’s all His.  He blesses us ...  Read More

Do you know the authentic original 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 and ins and outs of real money.  So much so that when they see a fake they know it’s fake immediately.  The same should be true of us in regards to Jesus and the Word of God.  It’s ess...  Read More

How does is feel if someone calls you a Hypocrite? What is a hypocrite?  Someone who says one thing but does another.  Simply put you’re a hypocrite if you know what to do, maybe you even talk the talk but you don’t walk the walk.  If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard “church’s are full of hypocrites”, I’d be a rich man.  I used to get all defensive - likely like you do if someone calls you...  Read More

Matthew 22Imagine 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 is the King?  Who is the Son?  Who are the se...  Read More

Matthew 21Here comes the King!!!  Dum da da dum!!! When our students return from a state competition we herald their return with a parade, and fireworks.  When the President travels, he does so with a grand motorcade.  Anytime one of the Royals does anything it’s grand, so surely when Jesus arrived, King of the Jews, Savior of the world it was BIG!   Check it out and see.  You might be surprised. ...  Read More

Matthew Chapter 20Have you ever wondered about someone who lived their entire life seemingly for themselves.  If a good tree doesn’t bare bad fruit and a bad tree good fruit 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.  Does that seem fair?  That’s the funny thing about the Mercy and Grace of God.  It’s not up to us. ...  Read More

Matthew 19Jodi and Jason sitting in a tree… first comes love, then comes marriage…We all know how it goes“…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 Gods design for marriage from Genesis 2:...  Read More
