Matthew Sermons

SORROW OVER JERUSALEM’S DESERVED JUDGMENT CANNOT CANCEL THE EXECUTION OF THAT JUDGMENT (DESPITE THE HOPE OF ESCHATOLOGICAL RESTORATION)

TEMPLE MAGNIFICENCE WOULD SOON BE REDUCED TO TEMPLE RUBBLE

JUDGMENT ON THE JERUSALEM TEMPLE DOESN’T SIGNAL THE END OF THE AGE

THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION TRIGGERS THE GREAT TRIBULATION EVENTS LEADING TO THE SPECTACULAR RETURN OF CHRIST

CHRIST RETURNS IN POWER AND GREAT GLORY

THERE IS A CLOSE TEMPORAL RELATIONSHIP TO END TIME SIGNS AND THE RETURN OF CHRIST TO ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH

SPIRITUAL VIGILANCE NEEDED SINCE THE EXACT TIMING OF CHRIST’S RETURN IN JUDGMENT IS UNKNOWN

THE FAITHFUL SLAVE FEEDS THE HOUSEHOLD WHILE AWAITING THE RETURN OF THE MASTER

ONLY GENUINE TRIBULATION SAINTS IN POSSESSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE PREPARED FOR THE RETURN OF JESUS (DESPITE UNKNOWN DELAY)

STEWARDSHIP OF GOD’S GIFTS DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY -- MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE CHRIST

SON OF MAN WILL RETURN IN GLORY TO SIT IN JUDGMENT ON THE GENTILES TO DETERMINE ENTRANCE INTO THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

THE PASSOVER LAMB PREPARES HIS DISCIPLES FOR HIS CRUCIFIXION AS THE WICKED DESIGNS OF THE JEWISH CONSPIRATORS MESH WITH GOD’S SOVEREIGN CONTROL AND REDEMPTIVE PLAN

EXTRAVAGANT WORSHIP LAVISHED ON THE MESSIAH AS HE IS ANOINTED FOR BURIAL

THE TREACHEROUS BETRAYAL OF JESUS EXPOSES THE DEPTHS OF DEPRAVITY

JESUS MARKS THE TRANSITION FROM THE OLD COVENANT TO THE NEW BY CELEBRATING THE LAST PASSOVER AND INSTITUTING A NEW MEMORIAL

THE PRIDE BUBBLE OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY COLLAPSES WHEN THE FEAR OF MAN LEADS TO DENIAL AND ABANDONMENT

WATCH AND PRAY TO GUARD AGAINST TEMPTATION AND TO SUBMIT YOUR WILL TO GOD’S WILL IN TIMES OF CRISIS

OUR RESPONSE TO UNFAIR ATTACKS SHOULD NOT BE VIOLENT OPPOSITION BUT CALM TRUST IN GOD’S SOVEREIGN PLAN

THE UNJUST TRIAL BEFORE CAIAPHAS PROVIDES JESUS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLEARLY AFFIRM HIS MESSIANIC IDENTITY

DENYING ALLEGIANCE TO CHRIST BRINGS BITTER REMORSE

BETRAYAL OF JESUS PROVES TO BE A BAD DEAL FOR JUDAS

JESUS REMAINS SILENT IN HIS TRIAL BEFORE PILATE DESPITE THE TRUMPED UP CHARGES BROUGHT BY THE SANHEDRIN

SPINELESS PILATE YIELDS TO THE DEMANDS OF THE MOB TO RELEASE BARABBAS AND DELIVER JESUS TO BE CRUCIFIED (DESPITE FINDING HIM INNOCENT)

JESUS SUBMITTED TO HIS HUMILIATING MOCKING CORONATION AS THE KING OF THE JEWS BY HIS ROMAN CAPTORS

THE KING OF THE JEWS SUBMITTED TO HUMILIATING INDIGNITIES AND PAINFUL SUFFERING IN HIS UNJUST CRUCIFIXION TO ACCOMPLISH OUR REDEMPTION

PARADE OF MOCKERS CAST TAUNTS AND SCORN AT THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST

THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS WAS AN EARTH-SHAKING EVENT

THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD BODY OF JESUS AND SECURING HIS GRAVE FULFIL MESSIANIC PROPHECY AND SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF HIS RESURRECTION

PEOPLE RESPOND IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO THE EMPTY TOMB OF RESURRECTED KING JESUS

THE GREAT COMMISSION FOCUSES ON MAKING DISCIPLES WORLDWIDE BASED ON THE AUTHORITY AND ABIDING PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST
