The Lord’s Supper: Kingdom Meal

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew 26, if you’ll look at verses 26 through 29. It's appropriate that we look at this passage about the institution of the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on this, the 482nd anniversary of the Reformation. About 482 years go, a little-known New Testament Professor from Wittenberg, mailed ninety-five propositions on a church door. This was basically a way of wanting to start a debate. He dared anyone to debate him about those disputed points of doctrine, and some enterprising critter got hold of those ninety-five points, and printed them and spread them all over town and all over that part of Germany. And that is usually the incident which is pointed to as marking the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. You just…

I Believe in the Forgivness of Sins

Matthew 26:28I Believe in the Forgiveness of Sins If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew chapter 26, as we continue our study through The Apostles’ Creed. Many of us here this morning, perhaps, take for granted the forgiveness of sins, and we may take it for granted in different ways. Some of us take for granted that it can happen. We've known the forgiveness of sins ourselves. The forgiveness of sins is a way of life; we're used to it. We have our sins forgiven often, and maybe less often, we forgive others; it's a way of life. Of course, sins can be forgiven. We take that for granted. We don't pause to realize that many people don't believe that sins can be forgiven or that you should forgive sins. Some of us take for granted the…

The Disciples will Flee

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 26. We continue our study in the gospel of Matthew today. You remember the last time we were in this gospel together, we were looking at Jesus’ institution of the Lord’s Supper. And at least in part, Jesus in that Lord’s Supper was pre-explaining to the disciplines the meaning of His death on the next day. He was telling them ahead of time the significance of His dying on the tree. Think of it. If the Lord Jesus had come into the world as the Messiah of God and died, and there had been no word of Scripture, no word from the Lord Jesus, no word from God explaining what that meant, we would have been clueless. We would have had no idea as to how to explain what it meant that the very sinless Son of God had…

The Grieved and Distressed Savior

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 26 as we continue our exposition of the gospel of Matthew. We’ve been in Matthew 26 for a number of weeks now, and we’ve observed a number of themes repeating themselves in this passage that is a prelude to the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, especially beginning with the passage describing the institution of the Lord’s Supper by Jesus. So much of Matthew 26 is preparing you with a pre-understanding of what Christ…

Jesus Betrayed

If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 26, as we continue our study in the gospel of Matthew. All along we have said that Matthew 26 provides us a prelude to the death of Christ and repeats a number of scenes over and over, two of which we’ll see again today. The sovereignty of God and the whole process is seen again in the passage today. And yet at the same time Jesus’ willing suffering, his willingness to be captured, to be arrested, to be persecuted…

Jesus Before Caiaphas

If your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 26, the 57th verse, as we continue our study through the gospel of Matthew. All along in our study of Matthew 26 we have said that this chapter is a prelude to the death of Christ. In our last study we saw the betrayal of Christ by Judas and the desertion of Christ by the other eleven disciples. And today we begin a series of trials that the Lord Jesus faced. This was actually the second of six scenes of trials that Christ would…

Peter’s Denial

If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 26, the 69th verse of that chapter, as we come now to the end of this passage, which we have said all along is preparatory to the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every event recorded by Matthew, in Matthew, chapter 26 prepares us for what we are going to see in Matthew, chapter 27 on the day of our Lord’s crucifixion. It sets the stage and such is the case with the passage we are studying today. Let me just say as…

Judas’ Remorse and Suicide

If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter 27 as we continue our study through this great gospel. We’ve spent a number of weeks in Matthew 26, and if Matthew 26 is a prelude to the death of Christ, then Matthew 27 is the main movement for it. It records for us the final events immediately prior to the crucifixion, and then the crucifixion itself. Now it’s important as we come to our study today to remember last week what we looked at in Matthew 26, verses 69…

I Believe in Jesus Christ who suffered under Pontius…

The Apostles’ Creed“I believe in Jesus Christ who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried”Matthew 27:1-2; 32-60 If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 27. We are continuing our study through the Apostles’ Creed and we are now squarely in the center of the portion of the Apostles’ Creed that deals with the person and work of Jesus Christ focusing especially on his sufferings and death, and so we read the account of this from Matthew…
