29-JUN-2008 - Matthew 12– The Gospel as Told by Matthew
Jesus engages in more direct conflict with the religious leaders of his day. He has been proclaiming the freedom and availability of this new Kingdom of Heaven. Yet, people are having difficulty understanding. So, just prior to his additional Kingdom teachings in Matthew 13 & 14, he goes through a series of frustrating conflicts between the kingdom of this world and his kingdom.

Respond
We all have a choice in life how we respond to God. In this Easter message we look at the story of the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Cross. We see how Judas, the disciples, and the thieves on the cross responded to Jesus. How will you respond? Will you choose faith and obedience, or will you choose to live life rejecting Christ?

Have I Blown It?
God could have created us preprogrammed to do his will only. However, this is not what he did. Instead he created us free—free to love, free to hate, free to rebel. This has made the world a very complex place filled with bad choices. However, God is not surprised by our bad choices. Instead, he is lovingly waiting for us to turn to him for help. Key Verses: Luke 15:11, Ro 11:32, Eph 1:18, 1John 3:2-3

Free or Bound to Our Culture?
God gives us the freedom to observe, to think, and to interpret events in any way we choose. Unfortunately, many of our interpretations and choices are based not on our own analysis, but on generational and cultural values. But, what do we do when these values clash with the truth of God’s word? Key Verses: Josh 24:11-18, Jer 44: 1-6, 15-18, Jer 44:24-28, John 14:6, John 7:16-17

John 12:37-50 The Pain of Unbelief
Does God harden your heart, or does your unbelief harden your heart? This appears to be the question of the ages, and one that is a bit of a paradox, since they both appear true in scripture. Our choices bear responsibility and have grim consequences, but God in His sovereignty uses our choices to accomplish His will. Our will/choices are proximate, while God’s remains ultimate. God does not violate our will, but He is in complete control of the results. This may be the grand mystery of how this all works, but it is the heart of a loving God to save, which He has done to His glory through His Son Jesus Christ.

Dark Night of the Soul
Jeremiah wasn't just a bullfrog, he was the weeping prophet of God. Who was this man and why was he weeping? What impact did he have when he was alive? How does this apply today? Where is God when we all suffer? Why me? Why did I lose my job? Why is there pain and suffering in the world?

John 3:1-21 New Beginnings or Transformed Lives?
The most famous of all verses may be the most screwed up. It’s sort of the crown to a conversation that Jesus has had with Nicodemus, teaching him that salvation comes from above. We so often use this verse to talk about us choosing God, whereas this context is clear that it is a lot more about God choosing us, and cleansing us.
