This section of Matthew closes out with Jesus' response to the great need of the people around Him and His call for us to respond as well. This is one of the more well-known sections of Matthew and we will dive deep into these verses to discover how we should respond to the plentiful harvest of souls all around us.

The final miracle Matthew records in this section of his Gospel account is probably the one with the fewest details. Why would he not take a little more time to tell us more about Jesus healing this demon-possessed man? Probably because there's a point Matthew wants to make that could easily be missed in the details, so he spells it out for us plainly in this short story.

Two blind men come to Jesus in faith for Him to heal them. They saw what many of the Jews and even the Pharisees had missed - that Jesus is the Promised Messiah. But out of all the blind people that Jesus ever healed during His earthly ministry, what made these two stick out to Matthew enough to record their story?

This engaging discussion highlights Jesus performing miracles in the context of faith and community. The importance of purpose in aligning one's life with divine guidance is explored. Stories of Jairus and a suffering woman underscore the transformative power of faith during unexpected moments. The narrative reveals that imperfect faith can still yield miraculous outcomes. Additionally, the influence of collective prayer during crises is emphasized, showcasing the strength of unity and belief in challenging times.

Many of the artistic depictions of Jesus do not match what Isaiah describes in Isaiah 53. We are told that "he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him." Therefore, "He was "despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Join us as we ring in the New Year meditating on this prophetic passage and also partake in the Lord's Table together.

Join us on Christmas morning to center your hearts and minds on Jesus above all. He is the reason we celebrate today and every day!

Christmas Eve is a special time for family and traditions. That’s why our special service is held on the night before “the night before Christmas” —Christmas Eve Eve. Enjoy carols, candlelight, a moment for kids, a family photo booth, and a chance to celebrate the greatest story ever told. Join us for our favorite night of the year!

How can we have hope when we continue to sin? How do we know that He will save us in the end after all our failings? Psalm 89 asks some similar questions and grounds our hope in the firstborn of all creation who is the Son of God and the Covenant Keeper. In this Psalm, we realize our hope isn't found in our performance, but the sacrifice of Christ.

Psalm 22 doesn't necessarily read like a Christmas song. But as we focus on verses 9-10, we see that ever since He was in the womb of Mary, Jesus entrusted Himself to the Father. And even on the cross, when He shouted "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" He was still trusting in the Father. This Psalm teaches us some really powerful lessons on how to have hope in the midst of our afflictons.

Psalm 2 is perhaps one of the strongest cases in the Bible made for the sovereignty of Jesus Christ over the nations. When we celebrate Christmas, we are not simply engaging in nostalgic remembrance of the baby born in Bethlehem. We are worshipping the Anointed, Sovereign King who came, died, rose again, and now rules and reigns over all the nations of the earth!
