Matthew 23a Rulers Past Present & Prophecies
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 23:1-12
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 23:1-12 In today's lesson we will be relating the rulers of Jesus time compared to the rulers of today. Man has not changed since the beginning of time. The sin nature that is within us can only be overcome through the blood of Jesus. Are people Really aware of what is going on in the world today? I don't think so! However, the prophecies in the Bible of Jesus return are true and will happen according to HIS plan. Therefore, linking together what God has told us about what is to come ( prophecy ) past events, present events, and future events; we need to know with all certainty that Jesus will return soon. Eight points will prove this fact. 55min
Matthew 22e Is Jesus The Messiah
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 22:41-46
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 22:41-46 The point of today's message is "who do you say that Jesus of Nazareth is?" Jesus had been verbally challenged three times on his power, authority, and wisdom. Now it is time for Jesus to challenge the Pharisees. Jesus cuts directly to the heart of the Christian doctrine with the Pharisees when HE asks quote "the Christ, whose son is he?" In this lesson you also learn some things about the Bible an individual interpretation of Scripture that you may not have thought about before. How do you approach the questioner, the doubter, and the unbeliever? 56min
Matthew 22d The Great Commandment
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 22:34-40
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 22:34-40 Today's lesson is one of those that I love because it so wonderfully joins the Old Testament with the New in what Jesus had to say. So many times we quickly read over something and don't grasp the deeper meaning behind the words. Jesus so wonderfully taught the Pharisee lawyer about what he should have been learning but missed. It's not about the 613 rules but about God's love for mankind and how we should be loving God at each other. Grab your pen and paper there are some things that you must write down. 64min
Matthew 22c Words that Entangle

Matthew 22:15-33

Description
Matthew 22:15-33 Last week we covered a great parable in wedding feast. This week we are going to cover two more of Jesus parables. It is truly amazing how three groups that hated Jesus and stood for totally different things could come together to try and take Jesus down. You're going to learn about the Pharisees, the Herodians, and the Sadducees: what they believed in and stood for and how they plotted against Jesus trying to get him executed by Rome. I'm also going to give you some pointers on how to deal with people that come against you and what you believe. 58min

Description
2022-04-17 RESURRECTION SUNDAY Praise God, we are celebrating the day that changed the history of mankind. When we say "he is risen" the response is "he is risen indeed". We have a choice in this life, if we choose to follow Christ Jesus we can be forgiven of our sins and have the promise of a new miraculous resurrected body and everlasting life: OR if we choose to do nothing with this precious gift of God, and we can spend eternity separated from the love and goodness of God forever in a place of torment. Because Jesus was resurrected from the dead YOU also can be resurrected. WOW So how do we know this is all true? The many quoted Scriptures will answer your questions and prevent you from being overwhelmed and help you to OVERCOME. 48min
Matthew 22a Parable of the Wedding Feast
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 22:1-14
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 22:1-14 As we hit this third parable, maybe we start to understand why Jesus teaches in parables. Not everyone will understand, are there reasons for that? As we study the word of God we must actively use our minds and meditate on what is behind the words that we are reading. And then most importantly we must apply it to our lives. In this study we will refer to several verses in John's Revelation of Jesus Christ. And we will start to see that in the prophecies there are also promises. Have you ever thought what it means to have a robe of Christ's righteousness wrapped around you? Please remember that as we approach the wedding feast we must have worked through these things; forethought, repentance, forgiveness, gratitude, and commitment. 68min

Matthew 21:33-46 I pray you listen to our study of last week. Our listeners comments were very insightful and thought-provoking. So were going to do another inductive study today. There are many subtle insights to be gained from really examining this passage. And once we understand the context of what is going on here I'm sure the lesson taught will have even greater meaning to you personally. Listen and learn what the spirit has to say to you. 57min
Matthew 21d Questioning Jesus Authority
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 21:23-32
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 21:23-32 I feel we need some more class involvement, therefore this is going to be an inductive study where I will be asking the listeners to comment. I know this is a little bit different, and some of the comments may not come through very clearly on the recording. But I like the idea of iron sharpening iron. AND there are some excellent comments during this teaching. Many people have asked Jesus or God by what authority do You do these things? I pray with the cross related Scriptures this question will be answered for you. Digging deeper into the Scriptures, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you, and applying personal insights is always a better way to draw closer to God. 66min

Matthew 21a The Coming King - 2 Entrances
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 21:1-11
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 21:1-11 Today, I want to start with some Old Testament Scriptures and then some from the gospel of Luke. Has your faith been tested? Have you gone the extra step to know why you believe what you do? When we look at Daniel chapter 9 verse 25 there is a very interesting prophecy. It states that Jesus would ride injured Jerusalem on April 6 32 A.D. on a donkey exactly hundred and 173,880 days after the Persian King Artaxerxes command to rebuild Jerusalem. How can prophecies in the Bible be so exact? Because God knows everything! Do you realize we are at the end of the days of mankind and soon judgment is coming? We need to believe the Bible and be humble as we see God's end times unfolding. 56min
Matthew 20d Lord Open My Eyes

Description
Matthew 20:29-34 This sermon will help explain why you need to speak to Jesus about your needs. When in Matthew nine Jesus talks about according to your faith let it be to you, we all need to shout out to our living loving God what we need. The character of Jesus is illustrated plainly that he cares for us, and that we can obtain mercy and grace in our time of need. In James four it says you ask and do not receive because you ask amiss, do you understand how the blind men actually receive their sight? 44min
Matthew 20c A Cup of Suffering & A Big Insight
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 20:20-28
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 20:20-28 Today's subject matter is not something everyone will want to hear. When we talk about pride and high self-esteem in people it is not always pleasant. But as the disciples went toward Jerusalem with Jesus, the topic came up of who was going to be the greatest in heaven. Jesus and The Word of God has quite a bit to say about these human faults. The disciples had not yet learn the lessons about servant hood, self-sacrifice, humility, persecution, and what leadership and the kingdom of God was about. The gift of salvation is priceless and free, but the way of discipleship isn't painless or easy. Suffering is the price of greatness, but it is the price required to follow Jesus Christ. 48min

Description
Matthew 20:17-19 I apologize to the quality of today's recording. Not sure what went wrong. But today we had individual people give their thoughts to some key questions. I pray you will see the connection between Jesus' journey toward Jerusalem and our journey toward our forever heavenly home. It will take focus, determination, dedication, and assurance (FDDA). And don't forget you should also be a FATO ( faithful, available, teachable, and obedient ) Christian. As we stand on the brink of the outbreak of World War 3 you need to understand that God's plan is simply unfolding as prophecy has already declared it thousands of years ago. The main point is are you focusing on what God has said and promised through the prophets and Jesus; or do you have your eyes on the world. Please write down some of the key Scriptures and go back to meditate on them. 58min

Description
Matt 19:27 to 20:16 Today, we go back just a little bit to last week and then proceed on to cover some key points about the promises of God. I'm sure you understand that salvation cannot be earned and it is not deserved. What does it really mean to be a Christ follower? There are sacrifices and rewards that you may have not thought about. So, what does this parable about the landowner hiring help for his vineyard really tell us about the nature of God? And how does it apply to us today? Let me say this, Jesus has turned the world's values upside down. 54min
Matthew 19b The Rich Young Ruler

Description
Matthew 19:16-26 First of all I need to explain what happened the last week. We got cut off from our G Meet feed and with the mass confusion I decided not to post the beginning of the sermon from last week. I feel like you didn't miss much anyway. In today's lesson the rich young ruler learns some key points about what it takes to follow Jesus and be assured of eternal life. Salvation does not come from good deeds. As I have said so many times, religion sends people to hell BUT a true relationship with God through Jesus sends people to heaven. I must ask what possession(s) possesses you? Do you know that you know you are going to heaven? Have you put your stake in the ground? 48min
Matthew 19a About Marriage and Divorce
Pastor Noslen
Matthew 19:1-10
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 19:1-10 In our study of Matthew 19, the topic of marriage and divorce comes up with some guides for today. When Jesus was teaching the Pharisees He concentrated more on what marriage should be all about rather than the topic of divorce. When we go back to Genesis chapter 1 and God was creating man and woman there are some lessons here that we may miss if were not careful. God knew that because man's heart is desperately wicked, that sin would corrupt His plan for what marriage was originally to be. I pray there will be memorable hints and suggestions of how we need to understand and treat marriage and divorce. 48min
Matthew 19 Knowledge Understanding Wisdom

Description
Today's journey is going to venture down a slightly different path. We are living in a very unique time where prophecies are coming true so rapidly that Jesus imminent return for His church is at hand and almost every believer is sensing the nearness of the rapture. BUT what is it going to take to stay faithful and be a victor in these troubling times. Lies and deceptions are everywhere! What we followers of Jesus Christ need now more than ever before is KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, and WISDOM. Turn to 2Thessalonians 2:9-12. Death and destruction is happening worldwide, but we as believers in Jesus Christ can weather the storm and have peace and comfort if we understand some basic principles. I pray the Holy Spirit will open your ears to hear the message today, and be refreshed in knowing that are Everlasting Loving God does not want us to be in darkness concerning the things of this world. 61min

Various NT & OT

Description
As we end 2021 and march into 2022, we need to look at both the world around us AND encouraging Scriptures. We cannot ignore what has happened during this last year. Yet in the middle of all that is happening right now we must remain confident that God is in control and will take care of His people during these very trying times. Therefore, I am including multiple verses that you need to write down, and placed deep within your heart and consciousness as we face 2022. During this message we also had communion and even though I didn't get to present all the material I had on the why's of communion; it is a time to remember and praise God for what Christ did for us. 54min
Matthew 18e Forgivness & Christmas

Matthew 18:21-35
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 18:21-35 Today's lesson is going to be slightly different. Upon the suggestion of two people within our little church, they thought it might be a good idea if we had an interactive sermon this Sunday. So, what you're about to hear is some thoughts about FORGIVENESS related to Christmas and the upcoming year of 2022. In the text that we will be looking at you will hear various members of our little group commenting about their experiences and thoughts on forgiveness. Please have a paper and pen ready to not only write down some of the Scriptures we are going to refer to, but thoughts of your brothers and sisters. (also it would be a good idea to have your volume a little bit louder than normal so that you can hear the comments made) We can learn so much from each other when we share openly and honestly how the word of God has affected our lives and walk with Jesus. I think this lesson is very timely not only because of the Christmas season, but because of the days ahead that we must face in this evil time. 61min

Description
Matthew 18:15-20 In today's world, conflict seems to be everywhere. How are we to get along in this world if we don't know how to resolve conflict? The peace of God will be with those who follow biblical principles in this area but sometimes it is very difficult. We have to understand that dealing with church members ( which our covered Scriptures are about today ) is different than dealing with our unsaved friends and neighbors. But there are good biblical principles to follow in all cases. Sorry this is not a Christmas message, but maybe this will help during some of the conflicts that arise at this time of year. 46min

Matthew 18:10-14 In today's lesson we only look at four verses in Matthew however; we will be referring to quite a number of other verses throughout the New Testament. I don't know if as a Christian you have ever drifted away from Christ but many have. One thing is certain Jesus is the good shepherd and he will go looking for you and bring you back. You can be assured that Jesus loves his individual children ( or in this case sheep ) that He not only keeps track of you, but He has a whole host of angels to carry out His goodwill for you. Please have a pen and paper so that you can write down some of the longer Scriptures that I'm going to read to you. 50min
Matthew 18a Hunble Yourself
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 18:1-9
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 18:1-9 In today's lessonwe are going to be challenged and encouraged at the same time. God wants each of us to approach Him in the simplicity of a child. Having confidence, and the understanding that our heavenly father only wants the best for us. Yes the Scripture addresses who is going to be the greatest in heaven; but that question is framed in the wrong way. Your heavenly father recognizes your needs and wants and knows what's best for you. However pride and the nature of things here in this fallen world do not apply in the heavenly realm and we need to understand what Jesus wants for us before we transition to his perfect everlasting kingdom. I pray this thought-provoking and challenging message will give you insight into what Jesus wants for you as his child. 51min

Matthew 17:22-23 When the disciples were told that Jesus would die, but rise on the third day, they were bewildered and confused. Many people in this world are bewildered and confused concerning the times in which we live. But because of prophecy and the promises of the Bible we should understand what is going on and not be afraid. There is a reason for it all and there are some big lessons to be learned from; Matthew 10:26-33, James 1:2-6, 12, 16-18, and Luke 12:22-34. As you listen I pray you will have pen and paper in hand to take some notes on the key points of how NOT to be afraid. 51min

Description
Matthew 17:14-21 As we move from the mountain of glory (last week, the Transfiguration) two the Valley of Need we learned some powerful lessons about prayer. In this day and age we all need to understand how to access God's glorious love and power in our prayers. Jesus was amazed at the lack of faith exhibited by his disciples. What must he think of his followers today? As we look at our own prayers today, and the Scriptures that tell us how to pray, you may be surprised what God has to say about accessing his power so that our prayers can be answered. 45min

Matthew 17:1-13 This is an exciting lesson today. I'm sure many have glossed over these verses by saying "oh that's cool". But there are deeper implications to these verses than one would expect. A little bit of heaven's glory coming down to earth and witnessed by man! WOW! As you listen today I pray you will be blessed and think deeply on some of the concepts presented here. Such as: what does it mean to endure to the end, and what is Jesus trying to teach you in your trials, and listening means not merely hearing but obeying what is heard, and are you prepared for the battles that lie ahead? 49min

Description
Matthew 16:21-28 Being mindful of the things of God is so important. Jesus tried to teach his disciples this in today's lesson; and Peter kind of got his toes stepped on by Jesus. Old Testament prophecy played a pretty big role in today's lesson, in that it was all laid out ahead of time what the coming Messiah was to do. Jesus is now being very straightforward with his disciples about his ultimate mission. It is a hard saying "for whoever desires to save his life will lose it". But being a Christ follower of is sometimes a tough road to follow. Jesus had a lot to say about rewards when we are loyal to the end. 49min
Matthew 16a Who is Jesus & 4 Types of Faith
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 16:1-20
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 16:1-20 The theme of Matthew 16 is really about faith. Four different kinds: no faith, little faith, saving faith, and serving faith. We see the Sadducees and the Pharisees, although they never got along on anything, agreeing on one thing "Jesus must be killed". They asked for a sign from heaven, they missed the fact that Jesus was the sign. Jesus accused them of not being able to discern the signs of the times. We are much like that today. Do you sense that we are living in the ending generation? Are our minds so fixed on the world that we miss the spiritual implications of what is going on around us? The main point is "who do YOU say that Jesus is"? 41min
