In the first specific healing miracle that Matthew records, Jesus demonstrates that He is a healer who with authority over sickness and sin. And because we have been cleansed, we can join in His mission to show the world that God is doing something.

Many people are looking for a domesticated Jesus. A tame Jesus. A Jesus who will heal, and will also “heel.” In this message from Matthew, Pastor John challenges our thinking on how we often try to call Jesus to meet our needs, rather than being available to His call of missionary/military living.

In the context of mission, we will encounter people who need mercy. Rather than judge, criticize, or mock like the Pharisees, Jesus teaches us a lesson on mercy: express mercy towards others as a means of showing obedience and faithfulness towards God.

As Jesus sends His disciples out on mission, we can learn some important principles to guide us in our mission as a church.

Worship is a reminder of where we come from and who we belong to. Who or what you worship indicates who or what controls you. In this message, Pastor John explains how God redeems us from our bondage to sin, self, and Satan so that we can truly worship Him.

In the first message in this series, we saw that God made a promise in the Garden of Eden to send a Savior to rescue us from our bondage to sin and Satan. In this message, Pastor John explains how God fulfilled His promise to provide us with His presence forever.

The story of Christmas is so familiar to us that often we lose the message of what this blessed event mean to mankind. The Angel tells the Shepard’s not to fear hear the message that God is now with us we truly have nothing to fear because God has got our back. This is true “Tidings of Comfort and Joy!”

Our fears and anxieties are killing us and stealing our joy! Fear is a cancer for our souls and we are often not aware of the damage it is doing lives. Jesus’ words are relevant to the fears we face today and He has the answers for us in today’s message.
