Matthew 22:41-46: What Do You Think about the Christ?

Matthew 22:15-22 Submission and Authority
When Jesus tells the religious leaders to give Caesar what belongs to him, He was not just talking about paying taxes. In this week’s message, Erik Maness explains how this story is about Submitting to Authority more than it is about money. Matthew 22:15-22
Matthew 22:1-14 The Great Wedding Feast
The Parable of the Wedding Feast at first seems to be pretty straightforward, but there is a lot more to this story from Jesus than most of us see at first glance. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Scott Gourley looks at just what this parable means to us. Matthew 22:1-14

Matthew 21:23-32 By What Authority?
As Jesus is teaching in the Temple, the religious leaders ask whom on whose authority He is teaching. Jesus’ answer show an understanding of what was really in their hearts, and in this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shows how it applies to us today. Matthew 21:23-32
Matthew 21:18-22 The King’s Good Desires
While in Jerusalem, Jesus goes to a fig tree to get some fruit, only to find there is none. He then curses the tree, and it immediately withers. The question is why? Why does Matthew include this story in the week leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion? Pastor Scott Gourley looks at this text in this week’s sermon, showing it has nothing to do with the fig tree and everything to do with faith. Matthew 21:18-22
