Building a Biblical Theology
Jesus told two parables in order to teach what the kingdom will be like when He leaves His disciples. It will be like ten virgins eagerly awaiting their bridegroom. It will be like servants with whom a master leaves his fortune until he returns to collect his return. When the master returns, He will judge... Continue Reading →
Jesus has dialogued with the Pharisees, scribes, Herodians, and Sadducees—proving His dedication to the Scriptures and showing that He is a qualified Rabbi. In this section, Jesus speaks seven woes against the Pharisees and scribes, seven reasons they are Hell-bound and take others to Hell with them (cf. Matthew 23:13, 15). This is Jesus’s last...

I didn’t see that God instructed His pastors to operate by and preach His word alone in season and out of season, meaning when... Continue Reading →
In this discourse, Matthew is explaining who Jesus is as Messiah. Just who is Jesus? We hear all sorts of answers, ranging from “A cool dude” to “The God who simply loves everyone” to “The judge of the world” to “a pretender and false prophet” to “merely a legendary character.” Who do you say Jesus...

What one thing is the true test of a lover’s devotion? We like to experience the passion of young love. Our favorite romantic movies are those in which love is accompanied by intense feelings, danger, and the perfect degree of comic relief.
