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

Matthew 18.There is sooo much here, we could do a whole series of messages just on this chapter.  Jesus continues to remind them of the humble heart and humility required to be teachable.  Who’s the greatest among you?  Let me tell you - unless you change and become like children there is no place in the kingdom for you!  Wait, is Jesus saying be immature… absolutely not.  He’s pointing out their ...  Read More

It’s about to get real!!!After 6 days Jesus takes Peter, James and John up to a high mountain and there before them is transfigured!  Trans whated?  Transfigured!  His clothes became white as the light and His face as bright as the sun!  Yeah!!! That’s what I’m talking about!  He gave them a little glimpse of Himself as God.  They answered correctly back in vs 16, you are the Christ, the Son of th...  Read More

Matthew 16Show us a sign!  As if He hasn’t shown them enough all ready.  The religious leaders want proof He’s God!  You can see the weather moving in and no it’s gonna storm, but you can’t see what’s happening with the world around you!  Wicked look for a sign.  The sign of Jonah will be all you get.  Basically that’s what Jesus tells them.  Any guesses what He means by the sign of Jonah?Oh man… ...  Read More
