Taking a detour from our lessons in Matthew, this is a full sermon-style message studying Hebrews 7. I've never had the opportunity to teach through Hebrews, so I'm taking the time to address at least this one chapter simply because it's on my heart to do so. Thinking of Jesus as our forever King means so much more than we tend to think.

Matthew 11 - The King of Disappointment
Why did Jesus let John die in prison? After all, the job of the Messiah was to set the captives free. What if I told you that Jesus is the kind of king who will disappoint you today because he has something bigger in mind for the future. Would you still follow a king like that?

Matthew 10 - True Missionaries
When Jesus sent his disciples out as workers in his harvest field, he gave them a clear message and a clear method. And neither had anything to do with salesmanship.

Matthew 8-9 - King of the Harvest
When Jesus tells his followers that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, what does he mean by the harvest? Is it all about telling people the gospel and getting them saved, or is there something more going on? If we want to know how we are supposed to participate in the great harvest Jesus mentions, we should probably consider what kind of harvest he initiated and what kind of seeds he planted to produce that harvest.

Matthew 7:24-28 - A Life of Stability
Don't build your house on the sandy sand. Don't build your house on the shore. Well, it might be kinda nice, but you'll have to build it twice. Oh you'll have to build your house once more.
The weekly podcast of Jeff Mikels encouraging you to put Jesus first again. It's time to wake up from our misunderstandings and misapplications of the Bible, time to toss out our old idols, and get back to simply hearing and following the voice of Jesus.
