Matthew 15c Feeding 4000 & Jesus Touch
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 15:29-39
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 15:29-39 In today's lesson you will hear how God's compassion and loving touch is just as effective today as it was 2000 years ago. This lesson is a very personal one for me in that miracles do change an individual's life. Irregardless of what some denominations believe God still does heal today. Do you have an open mind and heart? Do you need a touch from God today? Jesus is not only able but willing to change your life today. Don't ever let anyone steal away your faith and awe in the power and compassion of Jesus. Divine compassion embraces every dimension of human need. 48min
Matthew 15b A Woman's Faith - 5 Pointers
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 15:21-28
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 15:21-28 Well as God prompted me, "you can't finish chapter 15 today", just do the seven verses. There is more than enough right there! Thank you Jesus, YOU are always right. So today's lesson is going to focus on how you can have "great faith" just like the woman in Canaan. There are some really good lessons in here that if you don't go slowly you will miss them. Like the keys to a great faith come from the five key qualities shown in those seven verses. They are; be repentant, have your faith properly directed, be reverent toward God, be persistent, and above all be humble. I hope you realize that for our own good God sometimes places barriers before us. He wants our faith to be strong and unwavering. We need to learn to trust Jesus when we don't get exactly what we want right away. 52min
Matthew 15a Polluting & Ignoring God's Word
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 15:1-20
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 15:1-20 Today's recording will include communion and some pertinent Scriptures concerning Jesus as the bread and blood of life. When we continue on into the sermon several scriptures will be included which I hope you will have pen and paper to write down. The primary context of today's lesson concerns the difference between a religion and a relationship with Jesus Christ. What defiles a man was not what the Pharisees thought. I pray you will take time to study Psalm 51 for yourself sometime during the week. A key point is, the condition of a person's heart will be revealed by his or her words and actions. You will also learn about the Jewish custom of Korban in relationship to the fifth commandment. 60min
Matthew 14c Can You Walk on Water
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 14:22-36
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 14:22-36 In today's lesson, we are going to be going over the well-known story of Peter walking on the water. However, there is so much more to these verses that one might miss unless you take a closer, thoughtful look, at the Scriptures themselves. Upon looking deeper there are five demonstrations, or proofs, of Jesus deity that led to the disciples confession in verse 33 - "truly you are the son of God". Those five unmistakable verifications of Jesus divine authority, divine knowledge, divine protection, divine love, and divine power should strengthen your faith. there are two types of storms in life; the storms of correction and the storms of perfection. We must never judge our security on the basis of circumstances alone. Doubt equals fear and faith equals peace is an everlasting concept. 41min
Matthew 14b Feeding the 5000
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 14:13-21
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 14:13-21 This miracle of what Jesus did in feeding the 5000 has so many lessons to teach us. One word you will hear over and over again is the word compassion. Do you have any idea how much Jesus loves you? Even though the disciples had been with Jesus for a long time they needed to be taught about FAITH and TRUST in the one who cares so much for us. We especially need to hear the message of hope in these hard times. God is working out a plan that we don't quite understand right now. However, Jesus is still in the miracle working business. The impossible is God's specialty. Your limited resources plus Jesus equals more than enough. We need to learn that solving physical problems sometimes require a spiritual solution. And, most of all, God has compassion for you. 46min
Matthew 14a John the Baptist Lessons for life
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 14:1-12
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 14:1-12 Who was John the Baptist? What was his significance? His central theme was repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near. John the Baptist was the last of the Old Testament prophets, he ushered in the New Testament and the mission and revealingof the Messiah. Even though he was spoken of as the greatest of prophets Jesus says believers of today are greater than he. Are we prepared? Are we ready to spread the gospel at any price? What assurances did John the Baptist have as he was alone in that dark cold damp prison cell awaiting to be beheaded. In this lesson I will give you a lot of background of what happened, AND lots of verses of assurance to give you peace in these troubled times. 48min
Matthew 13e Have You Understood
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 13:51-58
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 13:51-58 When Jesus said "have you understood all these things?" That question is very applicable to today. With all the craziness, confusion, and corruption that is going on around us - you may be asking yourself "what in the world is going on?" Having spiritual insight into the times we are living in right now is essential to a peaceful healthy life. Understanding is the core of discipleship, but only true followers of Jesus are given the full ability to really understand. I pray through this message you will gain a better knowledge of what God is accomplishing in you and the world today. 60min
Matthew 13d Hidden Treasure, Pearls, & a Dragnet
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 13:44-50
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 13:44-50 In our lesson today, we are going to look at three interconnected parables, All related to the kingdom of heaven. Some key questions are going to be answered about the Christian life and what makes YOU and the kingdom of heaven so valuable. As Jesus is using every day things that help explain the spiritual, hopefully anyone who has ears to hear can pick up on the deeper meanings. I pray you remember the example of the Pearl, because as we look at that part of the Scripture we can see how Jesus Christ is changing our lives and we are becoming something of great value. I believe Ephesians 2:1-10 helps bring out even greater meaning to today's teaching. 45min
Matthew 13:31-43 Mustard Seeds and Leaven
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 13:31-43
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 13:31-43 First of all, I must apologize for the recorder not being turned on during verses 31 – 32. Two main point: how can a handful of inexperienced men and women he called the kingdom and Jesus kingdom was quiet humble beginning. Remember, outward appearances count for very little. The power of Almighty God can easily work through humble instruments in ways that are not obvious. From this tiny beginning eventually the whole world would be covered with the gospel. This parable meant that small size or relative power at the beginning does not indicate the final outcome. The leaven was a symbol of internal growth. A spiritual dynamicrather than outward power. Parables separated the curiosity seekers from the true followers. 38min
Matthew 13b Tares and Wheat Together
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 13:24-30

Description
Matthew 13:24-30 and 2Peter 2:1-22 In today's lesson we will attempt to explain why we live in a world containing both good and evil. Although it may not answer all your questions, Jesus parable on the wheat and the tares contains several lessons for us. But in order to do this properly you should have listened to last week's sermon. If not please listen to last week's topic about the four types of soils. First of all we must remember that the work of judgment belongs totally to God. There are three points you should understand about the really tough question of "if God is all-powerful and good where does it evil come from and why is it permitted." As we go into second Peter chapter 2 we see how God has laid this all out. God will not eliminate the opposition until the end of the age. So remember, God does the weeding. 44min

Matthew 13:1-23 Today's lesson covers a number of subjects and Scriptures please have your pen and paper ready so that you can study the Scriptures afterwards. Our teaching on praising God in the middle of impossible odds comes from 2Chronicles 20:1-30. other scriptures include Isaiah 30:8-14, 1John 4:1-6, Titus 2:11-15, Ezekiel 33:1-7 and 2Thessalonians to: 5-11. We are facing unprecedented times in these ending days of mankind before the rapture of all Christ followers. We need to be strong in spirit following the Holy Spirit's guidance and discernment in everything that we do. You need to know that it is a privilege to be living in this period of time when so many prophecies are coming true and we can see the hand of God working every day.

Matthew 12b Healing & Casting Out
Pastor Nelson
Matthew 12:15-30
Loading the player...
Description
Matthew 12:15-30 In our teaching this week, there is going to be quite a bit of emphasis on the workings of the Holy Spirit. As Jesus healed the sick and cast out demons the religious leaders of the day refused to recognize the power of God. They even accused Jesus of working on the power of Satan. As our days grow darker under the influence of evil we must all (as Christ followers) learn more about how the Holy Spirit works and to hear that still small voice of God's love and compassion toward mankind. Included are eight scriptures from Matthew on what the Holy Spirit is and does. There is no neutral ground, either we are on God's side in this spiritual war or we are part of the devils company who will be judged and condemned forever. 57min

Download
Description
Matthew 12:1-14 & 2 Thesalonians 2:11 & 1 Kings 22:23 Today's lesson, is a composite of two big principles that must be known and understood. The lesson from Matthew is pretty straightforward. The seventh day rest before God is for man and his relationship with the creator. It isn't about the law, it's about love, mercy, and relationship. The Pharisees were so intent on religious practices that they totally missed the point. In the second part of this message I address some changes that are coming that we all must face. God's prophetic word is coming true and Christ's soon return is at the door. Lies and deceptions are everywhere, people are confused, and the old normal is now gone forever. It is time to cling fast to the Word of God, our relationship with Jesus Christ, and not lose hope in His promises to us his children. Yes, God can allow evil lies and deceptions to help bring about HIS perfect plan. God knows you, loves you, and wants to spare you from the prophecies that are coming soon. 51min

Description
Matthew 11:20-30 & Luke 10-16 First of all I would like to say I'm sorry for not posting this last week. In today's lesson, Jesus had a lot to say about hearing the word of God and not acting upon it. In the next year or two, there are going to be some really big changes to the way we have to live here in the United States. We need to humble ourselves before God and pray for mercy and protection as prophecy is being fulfilled at every turn. Does anyone fear God anymore? It is past time to step up our commitment to the Word of God and following Jesus Christ in word and deed. As we come to better understand the "yoke" of Jesus, I pray you will understand that there is much work to be done, but the burden is light, and the joys of our Lord are unspeakable. 50min

Description
Matthew 10:40 - 11:19 Jesus speaking to us in this message teaches us multiple concepts. A biggie is how we are to share Jesus Christ with others. Remember, people don't reject you they reject the gospel message of Jesus and the love of God the Father. Another big lesson is that all Christians at times may have some doubts because even John the Baptist did. Today we also address the fact that excepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior involves battle. Spiritual warfare. When we talk about what it means to actually understand the gospel message sometimes the hearing may be there will the actual listening is missing. And lastly we talk about apologetics. What is the best way to share with others? Your personal testimony. 57min

Matthew 10:27-39 So many lessons in today's message. Everything from learning the fear of God to not being afraid. Learning the nature and the character of God is one of the first things HE desires of us. Understanding that he knows every detail about us and our lives is also vital. Have you ever stopped to think about what it meant when Jesus said "I did not come to bring peace but a sword". We are in spiritual warfare right now, and the time of the rapture is getting very close. We must all learn to be FATOs - that is faithful, available, teachable, and obedient. We also covered what it means to give up our life here to gain eternal life in heaven. 52min

Matthew 10:16-26 As we study this section of Jesus teaching, we know as Christians we are going to be as sheep among the wolves. There are some important lessons being taught in these verses. Persecution is not new, and it will continue until we are out of here. But we know we can have peace in the middle of tribulation because Jesus has overcome the world. We are to be wise and understand the battle that we are in because it is a war between good and evil. There are some practical lessons included here but probably one of the most important is not to fear these coming persecutions. 49min

Matthew 10:1-17 Today as we study how Jesus sent out His disciples on their first ministry trips; there are some good lessons for us today. Keep in mind one of the main lessons being taught was "the kingdom of heaven is near". As we learn the principal "freely you have received, freely you should give", we learned that humility and moderation is the key lesson. I also address the fact that a labor is worthy of his wages when doing the gospel ministry. Toward the end, I address where the world is right now, and go over some prophetic scriptures of what is going to happen after the rapture. The question is are you prepared for what's coming? 55min

We are to honor those who have kept and maintained our freedom here in America; but I don't want you to forget what Jesus has done in that same fight. So, today we will be looking at many Old and New Testament Scriptures about how things are supposed to work; and about how they are currently working. I pray you will have an in paper so that you can write down the many Scriptures and go back at some point to contemplate.

Matthew 9:18-34 In today's lesson we are going to be talking about your faith and how Jesus can meet your needs. There are some powerful insights to be had in these four miracles that we are going to go over. Plus I will have a short comment on living in today's chaotic world. First of all you need to know that God is no respecter of a person's status or influence. We simply need to come to Christ with our petitions and knowledge and trust that he will help us in our time of need. I love these miracles because they prove that Jesus was the true Messiah, God in the flesh, and HE has the power and compassion to help us regardless of the situation. 53min

Matthew 9:1-8 In today's lesson we will be seeing that the number one thing Jesus came to do is forgive our sin. As we relate the healing of the paralytic to today's prophetic times, prayerfully consider the parallels. Jesus favorite term for himself was "the Son of Man" indicating he was the Messiah. The prayers of faithful people are so key in the message today. I hope you understand that Jesus knows your every thought because, that is brought out also. Once again Scripture is teaching us about the most important things. 54min

Matthew 8:27-34 In this message entitled, who can this be, we explore more about Jesus's power over nature AND the things to come in our immediate future. We have some ideas of what must happen before the rapture occurs. But the Bible does not give the time or date only that certain signs will be prevalent. In this message we look at some of those signs and how they are addressed in the Old Testament as well as the new. While examining the signs we are currently seeing we must remember that Jesus has all power over every event and happening. Our faith and our courage must be strong as we enter the storm that is about to take place and is already starting. 50min

Matthew 8:18-27 REALLY it is April 11, 2021!! I want to praise God this morning or the fact that HE had me preach half of the sermon that I had prepared. That revelation occurred about two hours before our regular videoconferencing time. God is so good! In the lesson today we learn about what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. The cost and the challenge. And we are struck by the fact that Jesus intervenes not only in our spiritual life but in the physical world in which we live. It is so comforting to know that JESUS IS IN THE BOAT WITH US! And no matter what the storms of life He is right there beside us to get us through the situation. My prayer is that you will listen to the sermon twice. Thereby implanting the lessons we all need to know to be faithful followers of Jesus. 50min

Luke 22:41-44 plus many other scriptures. Plus we will first have communion together.

We know the typical Easter Sunday message of the resurrection, but have you ever stopped to contemplate Jesus human response to what He was about to undergo? I pray that the Holy Spirit will help you understand this message in a way that you've never even thought about before. Do we really understand the cost of being freed from our sin? A lesson that comes out of this message is are you willing to do what Jesus would have you do regardless of the cost? 58min

Today we will be talking about the first two; the healing of the leper, and then the healing of the centurion's servant. The short little accounts of actual events are recorded in Matthew Mark and Luke. I like that each accounting shows us some slight variations. There is much to be learned from these miracles, because today we so need examples of how we should live. Jesus proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he was the Messiah. However, the people are expecting something totally different. I pray you can relate to some of what we are teaching here, and that it will help you grow in your walk with Christ. 53min
