Matthew: Faith Of The Roman Centurion

Matthew: Introduction And Intertestamental Age

Who was Matthew? What is the Book of Matthew about? In Part 1 of our new study, we will introduce this Gospel and talk about the audience that it was originally written to - the Israelites. While Matthew contains truth and wisdom for all people, it was intended to explain the person and work of Jesus to Matthew's Jewish contemporaries. Beyond introducing Matthew, we'll also talk about the 'intertestamental age' that preceded its writing. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why was God 'silent' for over 400 years? B) What differentiates Matthew from the other Gospel accounts? C) Why are there two different genealogies (in Matthew and Luke)? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B. Holt Also, please visit our channel for sermons from additional Bible books. Finally, please leave a review to help others find the show.

Matthew: Emmanuel, God With Us

The God who MADE YOU wants to be WITH YOU. That's what the word 'Emmanuel' means - 'God with us.' The pagan gods didn't work that way. These (false) deities kept the people at arm's length. But our God wants to be close. He walked with Adam in the garden. He dwelt in the tabernacle and temple. And He came to earth in the form of a babe. Join us for Part 2 of our study in the Book of Matthew. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What is the difference between being 'with' or 'for' someone? B) What did the Angel tell Joseph about Jesus? Why was it so important? C) What comfort do the Angel's words have to those of us who are hurting? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B. Holt Would you please leave a review to help others find the show?

Matthew: The Baptism Of Jesus Christ

If baptism is for SINNERS, then why was JESUS baptized? In Matthew 3, Jesus asked John to baptize him. That blew John's mind. And so, John told Him that it was the other way around - that Christ needed to baptize him! John knew that Jesus had no sins that He needed to repent of, and no need to be 'washed clean.' So why did Jesus insist on being baptized? That will be today's focus. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What sort of baptism was John doing by the Jordan River? B) Were John's baptism the same as our modern, church age baptisms? B) Why did Jesus say His baptism would 'fulfill all righteousness?' Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B.

Matthew: Tempted In The Wilderness

Does the devil think that he can win? In Matthew 4, Jesus is led out into the wilderness, where He was tempted for forty days by the devil. What did the devil think he was going to accomplish? And what was the Father's purpose in allowing His Son to undergo this? Other Questions That We'll Answer: A) What was the object of each of the three temptations? B) Why did Jesus refer to Scripture at each opportunity? C) How was Christ's temptation related to Adam's in Genesis 3? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B.

Matthew: Faith Of The Roman Centurion

The Pharisees hated Jesus. But the Roman Centurion did not. Throughout the New Testament, the Pharisees antagonized our Savior. They accused and berated Him at every turn. Conversely, there are seven Roman Centurions in the New Testament - and each is portrayed in a more positive light. How can this be? Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Jesus 'marvel' at the faith of the Centurion? B) What stood out about the Centurion's request? C) What warning did Jesus give the Jews in Matthew 8?
