The Superior Greatness of Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:11-12)
We have created a Jesus that is far to tame, a far cry from the Lord who is Creator and Judge of all men presented to us on the pages of Scripture. No wonder we and the world have so little fear of Him that we make Him into Someone far less glorious, frightening, and holy than He truly is. Jesus Christ is Lord of all and the Head of the church; He is her source and life; her hope; her single testimony. And when the fear and worship of Jesus Christ, as He is revealed in His word, is lost the church longer the “salt and light” of the world and the influence she was meant to be Matthew is now finishing his summary account of the preaching ministry of John the Baptist. And beginning in verse 11 Matthew is making the transition from John the Baptist to the Person and ministry of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. John is making the transition from his ministry to the Messiah by showing that in every way Jesus in His Person and ministry is far superior in greatness to him. This is the heart of a true servant. And the point is to make clear that Jesus Christ alone is to be the center piece of our worship.

King of the Wild Frontier
A number of celebrities and lesser knowns threatened (promised?) to leave the United States if George W. Bush was reelected president in 2004. But before Bush, there was Martin Van Buren, and before today’s political malcontents, there was Davy Crockett (1786–1836), “king of the wild frontier†as the popular 1955 politically incorrect “Ballad of Davy Crockett†described him. In a letter written to Charles Shultz dated December 25, 1834, Crockett complains about Andrew Jackson’s influence over American voters. He describes them as “Volunteer Slaves†and declares his plan to leave the United States and move to Texas if Martin Van Buren, Jackson’s vice-president, is elected to office.

Inside Out Kingdom
A church that lives out of the gospel will be odd and not easily put into a box. Because we’re called to live with an ‘inside-out’ Gospel, we’ll pray and desire to see people coming to Christ and experiencing conversion and grace renewal as they understand the gospel more and more. This makes us seem like a church that is an evangelical church.

Justice and Eternal Punishment
Even though messages about Hell are often labelled 'offensive' or 'antiquated' or 'irrelevent', God's word is clear about the reality that those without the righteousness of Christ will eternally experience God's justice because of their condition of rebellion against God.

Blind to Mercy
The religious leaders in Jesus’ day loved to enforce their own extensive lists of rules and regulations and hammer anyone who didn’t live up to their standards. Jesus said that these people were blind and were leading other blind people into a ditch. They were blind to that fact that God is God of mercy and compassion and they were blind to their own failing and need for grace. We often take up the same judgmental attitude as the Pharisees, vilifying our opponents and painting ourselves as the good guys. Jesus commands us to stop judging and condemning people and instead by merciful and forgiving like our Father in heaven because we are all sinners and in desperate need of His mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
