Focusing on Messiah in the Book of Matthew Bob Corbin & Family Bible Church

After His resurrection, Jesus meets His disciples in Galilee as He had told them prior to His death. Jesus has already revealed Himself a multitude of times prior to this moment; yet "some are still doubtful." The disciples are so much like we are. We see the working of God and yet quickly begin doubting again. What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, mean to us as individuals? On the basis of the authority which Jesus has had since before the creation of the world, He sends out His disciples to make disciples of all nations. However, before you can make disciples, you must yourself BE a disciple! Who are you truly a disciple of? Whose words do you tend to quote most often? Whose words and messages do spend the most time reading, meditating on, and sharing? This message was presented on August 25, 2019 by David Hayes.

In our study of Matthew's account of the earthly life of the Messiah, we have come to the EXCLAMATION POINT!!!! Last week we considered the Apex of the Victory over Sin ... today, we see that Victory given the seal, or stamp, of approval! The victory is not only the ultimate Atonement (covering) for our Sin … but it is the destruction of the "final enemy" - death itself! O Death, where is your sting? O Grave, where is your victory? !!! As we consider Jesus' victory over the grave, ask yourself the question: "Am I honestly living in the power of His resurrection?"

In our study of Matthew's account of the earthly life of the Messiah, we have come to what would have appeared to be the end of the earthly ministry of Jesus - His Death by Crucifixion. Fortunately, for us, we are looking backwards and we know that this is NOT a sorrowful ending but rather a crucial step in the Ultimate Victory! As Jesus has continually reminded the disciples - and the leaders of the people - what was happening was not a random coincidence but rather the Purpose and Plan of God were coming to their fullest fruition at this moment of history. Today’s message is not just about suffering and death ... but even more so about faithfulness and victory! This message was presented on August 11, 2019 by Bob Corbin.

In our study of Matthew's account of the earthly life of the Messiah, we began three weeks ago focusing on the final phase of the book - The Sacrifice of the Messiah. Last week we considered the Rejection of the Messiah. In that account, three times Jesus referred to the fact that things were transpiring in such a way as to fulfill Scripture. We continue our study today with an examination of the Trials of the Messiah - before the Religious Leaders and before the Political Leader.

In our study of Matthew's account of the earthly life of the Messiah, we began two weeks ago focusing on the final phase of the book - The Sacrifice of the Messiah. Our section today continues immediately following the Commemoration that He established in the Upper Room - and which we considered last week. Singing was part of the Passover celebration. So, they concluded their Seder with a hymn and then began to travel to the Mount of Olives ... specifically, to a garden that Jesus frequented often - to pray. Along the way, Jesus made a provocative statement to His disciples. This message was presented on July 28, 2019 by Bob Corbin.

Last week we began focusing on the final phase of the Messiah's earthly ministry - His Sacrifice. Last week we considered His Preparation. Today, we will be focusing upon the Commemoration that He established. Lord willing, over the next four weeks we will examine His Rejection, His Trial, His Crucifixion and His Resurrection.
