Discerning Truth!
There is too much that masquerades as Christianity, or even sees itself as Christianity, but just as in the first century we today, perhaps more so, need to be able to discern the truth.
Who do we serve?
In the sixth chapter of Matthew our Lord makes the statement that man cannot serve two masters, that one cannot serve Mammon and God. There is a lot more here than you may think.
Secrets of Christianity
This exposition highlights three Christian acts that seem to be misunderstood too often; giving, praying, and fasting. In fact our Lord makes his desires known that we are to do each in secret, our hearts are to be directed at...

The effort to highlight the “Sermon on the Mount,” continues and how Jesus came not to change, do away with the old Law but to fulfill all that scripture has anticipated and laid out for those that believe.

The ministry of Jesus begins in Galilee of the Gentiles. This has special significance to Matthew, as will the calling of two set of brothers to something that will change their lives forever. And it will our as well.

Following His baptism Jesus is led into the wilderness there to be tested. But unlike ancient Israel who failed their wilderness test, this test of the new Israel will not be the same.
The true Son, true Israel!
This is on the Baptism of Jesus Himself, by the Baptist. Just why is this baptism of Jesus necessary? Surely He doesn’t need to repent and subject Himself to what John is demanding?
