Using a meal to illustrate the “rest” of the story, Jesus exposes the Pharisees for their lack of understanding of God. Our merciful God cares more about people than legalistic rituals and laws. “We have more than a Sabbath law, we have a Sabbath Lord and can rest in Him.”
Are you depending on your mind’s desire to know God, your good works, your family heritage, perhaps, for eternal life in Heaven? John the Baptist gave dire warning to a group of religious leaders who were depending on those very things, a warning still relevant today. Bro. Jeff explains.
The last days will be characterized by empty religion that “doesn’t change your life, transform your heart, set you free from sin, get you to Heaven, nor make you right with God.” Jesus exposed the empty, powerless, shallow religion in his day, and Bro. Jeff describes how it continues today.
Do you see yourself as God sees you? The new year typically brings self-evaluation and goal-making; Bro. Jeff challenges us to do some “God-evaluation” and take seriously the way God views things as He has revealed to us in His Word.
What was unthinkable to the disciples, in reality, was hope for them and for believers to come. Tonight, Bro. Jeff describes the glory of Christ’s coming and what it means for both believers and unbelievers.
A warning from Jesus about legalism and liberalism lead to some valuable lessons, not only for the disciples, but for us as well. Are you operating by reason or by faith? Are you caught up in the cares of this world? Gain some insight from Bro. Jeff’s message tonight.
“When the evidence is right in front of you, and you can’t see it, then you know you are blind.” The same spiritual blindness exhibited by Jewish leaders in Jesus’ day is evident today; they didn’t believe that Jesus is who He says He is. What irrefutable evidence do we have? There is a warning to those who persistently reject Christ; Bro. Jeff explains in today’s message.
Do you feel like something is missing in your life? A void that you just haven’t been able to fill? Perhaps tonight’s message will give you the direction you need to find just what your soul has been craving.
Jesus is who He said He is! Here, Bro. Jeff reminds us of the great power and authority of Jesus. He only need speak to make miraculous things happen.
