Matthew 12:9-21

Who’s Leading?

Through influence of the religious leaders Israel is led into ignorance of righteousness. But Jesus who is Lord of the Sabbath heals the multitude on the Sabbath and leads the Gentiles through the door of salvation.

Hebrews 3

In Hebrews 3 we find encouragement and exhortation related to the greatness of Jesus Christ - the Great Apostle and our Great High Priest - who is greater than Moses.

Matthew 12:1-8

Substance or Shadow?

In Matthew chapter 12 we begin to see the rejection of the Messiah. The Jewish leadership forfeits the substance of Christ who is our rest. Instead they chose the shadow of rest through following manmade rules.

Matthew 11:20-30

Rebuke or Rest?

Jesus rebukes the cities who will not repent. They have rejected the works of God who was living in their midst. The Lord in His sovereignty reveals His truth to the meek and there is rest for all who come to Him.

Matthew 11:12-19

The Kingdom Rejected

From the beginning of John’s ministry, the priest Annas brought violence to the kingdom.  And the Jews were unable to receive John’s message as those who are not wise cannot be satisfied. Join us as we continue our study in Matthew 11.
