The Parables of the Kingdom – Matthew Chapter 13 part 2

Jesus Teaches in Parables – Matthew Chapter 13 part 1
Chapter 12 begins a pivotal moment in the ministry of Jesus. It is the national rejection of Jesus as Messiah by the leaders. And because of this, Jesus withdraws His offer as Messiah to the nation and begins to speak of a new “mystery” kingdom”. So, Israel will not receive the kingdom at this time, but instead, a kingdom that was not foretold will now be birthed.
The Unforgivable Sin – Matthew Chapter 12 part 2

Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath – Matthew Chapter 12 part 1
In this section of chapter 12, we are confronted with Jesus teachings and works on the Sabbath day. His teachings were fundamentally different from those of the pharisees because He only taught how to understand the Sabbath from the Mosaic Law alone and not the rules of the pharisees.
Jesus Defends John – Matthew Chapter 11
After Jesus sent His disciples to minister in Galilee, some disciples of Jon cam to Him, asking if He truly was the Messiah (being sent by John the Baptist). Jesus kept working wonders and told them to go back to John and report the things that they have seen.
Jesus Sends the Twelve to Preach – Matthew Chapter 10
The final words of Jesus in chapter 9 was to pray that God would send workers into the harvest; and this is exactly what Jesus does in choosing twelve men to send them into the harvest of Israel. In this, He tells them not to carry additional provisions for themselves, but to rely of God working through those who hear them to provide for their needs.
Jesus’ Power Over Sickness and Disease – Matthew Chapter 9
Jesus continues His healings in His hometown and surrounding areas. He demonstrates the wonderful truth of His divine Person in the healing of the paralytic.

Jesus Demonstrates Authority Over Demons and Sickness – Matthew Chapter 8
In the Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7), Jesus demonstrated His authority in teaching. In Chapter 8, He demonstrates His authority over all manner of sicknesses and diseases and demonic possessions. He also gives two principles of discipleship – suffering and Jesus being the ultimate priority.
Who is TRULY Saved? – Matthew Chapter 7
Jesus continues His teachings in several areas concerning judgment, prayer and works. As He ends His teachings, He concentrates on the necessity of good works. That is, true belief in Him as Messiah will manifest itself in the life of the believer by works of righteousness. True faith is evidenced by the life of the one confessing faith in Jesus.
Jesus Condemns Spiritual Hypocrisy – Matthew 6
Jesus continued His teaching that His disciples should surpass that of the pharisees in preaching about righteous conduct. He dealt with such issues forgiving to fasting. Finally, He spent a significant time on the issue of money.
The Sermon on the Mount (Part 2) – Matthew 5:21-48
The latter teachings of chapter 5 denote Jesus’ warning that the people’s righteousness should surpass that of the pharisees. So, He begins by attacking the wrong teachings of the pharisees and telling them His own, showing how the pharisees misinterpreted and went beyond the correct teachings of the Law of Moses.
The Sermon on the Mount – Matthew 5:1-20
As the large crowds followed Jesus, wandering if He were the Messiah who would bring about the kingdom, Jesus led them to a mountain and began to teach them. The essence of His teachings in this video deals with who is qualified to enter the kingdom of the Messiah. Jesus answered that as those who look to Him for their spiritual needs and are willing to suffer on account of their faith in Him.
