Another Parable

Matthew 13:18-30 “Hear then the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word…

Sower, Seed, Soil

Matthew 13:1-23 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell…

The Father’s Will

Matthew 12:38-50 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the…

The Abundance of the Heart

Matthew 12:22-37 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that…

By the power of the Spirit of God

Matthew 12: 22-42 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,…

Follow Me

Deep down in his heart, Matthew must have hoped for forgiveness. When Jesus fixed that look of love on him, searching the depths of his inmost soul, he didn’t need to think about it any longer! When he heard, “Follow Me,” he was up and gone! Matthew 9:1-17 And getting into a boat he crossed…

Power to Forgive

Although the Christian faith has many values, virtues and applications, the most essential message is that, man a sinner, can know the fullness of forgiveness for that sin. That is the heart of the message of Christianity, and that is exactly the message of this miracle at the beginning of Matthew chapter nine. Matthew 9:1-13…

What kind of man is this?

Within every organisation, someone is in charge. As we think about the church, we soon discover in Colossians, that the answer is Christ Himself. A right understanding of this truth is crucial for us to comprehend, as we consider how our willingness to submit to His headship, affects His body. Matthew 8:18-34  Now when Jesus saw a…

Jesus’ Power

They are really His credentials as the Messiah. These signs point convincingly to His deity; for only God can do the…
