Yes, Jesus is Confusing (Matthew 12-13)
Is Jesus trying to confuse people? Is he telling cryptic stories and saying impossible things on purpose because he's hiding something from us?Yes, yes he is. But he doesn't want you to stay confused. He wants to give you the answers, but he wants you to stick with him through the confusion.

Hebrews 7 - The Old Law is Old News
Taking a detour from our lessons in Matthew, this is a full sermon-style message studying Hebrews 7.

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?
