The Book of Matthew| Episode 32

A Matter of the Heart Matthew 15:1-20 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. [Matthew 15:18] We have been seeing the different groups that Jesus dealt with during His earthly ministry: His enemies, the multitude, and disciples. All three were highlighted in Matt 14 and we will continue to see how Jesus dealt with each over the next several chapters. There is great application for...

Sending the Multitude Away Matthew 14:13-36 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. [Matthew 14:22] This verse comes between two great works: Jesus feeding the multitude and Jesus walking on water. These are arguably the most well-known miracles in the Gospels. The former is recorded in all four Gospels, revealing its significance, the latter rem...

The Kings Withdrawal Matthew 13:53-14:12 So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house. [Matthew 13:57] This verse comes upon the heels of the Matthew 13 parables of the Kingdom. Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them [Matt 13:34]. This set the disciples apart. After the fourth parable Jesus sent ...

Parables and Priorities Matthew 13:24-52 Jesus sent the multitude away, and His disciples came to Him. What a telling tale of the difference between the two. The miracles were over for the day, and yet Jesus disciples came to Him for the message. And that is what set them apart. They had different priorities; they had a different heart. They wanted deeper truths of the Kingdom, not just miracles. They were looking to understand and...

Parables that Set Us Apart Matthew 13:1-23 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying[Matthew 13:2-3] Matthew 13, the Parables of the Kingdom, brings us to the third discourse in the Gospel of Matthew. As mentioned before, Matthew pivots around five major teachings of Jesus on the Kingdom of...

Water that is Thicker than Blood Matthew 12:28-50 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.[Matthew 12:49-50] You have heard the saying, Blood is thicker than water. We know what that saying means regarding biological family. However, Jesus had a different view. While there is a strong bond be...

Past the Point of no Return Matthew 12:22-37 Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. [Matthew 12:28] What is the blasphemy against the Spirit? Is there an unpardonable sin? What is clear in Scripture is that denying Jesus as Lord after being exposed to Him and the Gospel, is unpardonable. For God so loved the world that He gave His only beg...

Jesus is our Sabbath Rest Matthew 12:1-21 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.- Matthew 11:28 We studied this verse last week. We are going to delve into it further today from the perspective of Sabbath. The context of Sabbath in Matthew 12, right after 11:28, helps us to understand that Jesus is our Sabbath rest. Sabbath is a day observed by many Jews. Some observe it for religious reasons [...

Accountability Matthew 11:16-30 Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.- Matthew 11:21 Accountability, we are answerable to what we know. This is an important principle in Scripture that Jesus Himself describes. It is one thing to error without knowledge and quite another to error with. It is...

Faith that Overcomes Question Matthew 11:1-15 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another? - Matthew 11:2-3 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [Heb 11:1] This is the Biblical description of faith. But notice the question embedded. It is inherent in things hoped for, and things no...

From Following to Sending Matthew 10:24-42 Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. - Matthew 10:34 This seems to be a contradiction in terms when considering that one of the names of Jesus is Prince of Peace. This, however, is peace with God. Jesus has settled peace between Holy God and sinful man through the Cross. But regarding the world, He brings a sword of separation; spirit...

Freely you have received, freely give. - Matthew 10:7-8 The Kings Delegation [The Kings Couriers Ironside], to these Jesus said: Freely you have received, freely give.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
