Acts | The Story Continues

Kingdom Rejected | Wk3 | Jesus Rejected | Matthew 21: 33-46

Parables are simple stories used to tell significant truths. Jesus continues to engage with the gathered leaders and crowds to reenforce where all authority rest and where all honor is due.

Kingdom Rejected | Wk2 | Jesus' Authority | Matthew 21: 23-32

Holy Disruption brings unholy opposition. Jesus arrived and aggressively cleaned out the temple of money changers and pigeon dealers restoring it to a house of prayer and place of healing. People who benefit from oppression do not respond well to the status quo being overturned. Jesus returns to the temple facing challenges to His authority.

Kingdom Rejected | Wk 1 | Jesus Disrupts | Matthew 21:12-22

Jesus brings Holy Disruption to prepare (and renew) a place for Pure Devotion. Jesus has triumphally arrived in the city of Jerusalem with fanfare from many who have great expectations of what He will accomplish. While intentionally entering with clear messianic symbolism, Jesus is not there to overthrow Roman occupation but to accomplish eternal salvation for His people overcoming sin and death. Transformation and salvation are still His mission, but they look far different than what the cheering crowds, or the plotting opponents, expect.

Guest Preacher Carl DeyArmin gives us the good news from Acts 16: The Gospel is for Everyone & The Gospel can Transform Anyone.

Kingdom Values | Wk5 | Jesus & Position | Matthew 20:17-34

We all desire glory and believe self promotion is the best path to achieve what we want. Jesus consistently shows the values in His Kingdom are different. In God's Kingdom the path to glory is not self promotion but selfless sacrifice. There is a crown ahead but there is a cross first.
