Seeking The Truth

Matthew 17:17. Rising from Perversion to Power Through Prayer and Fasting. Saturday, February 2, 2019.

Yeshua called his disciples faithless and perverse! Perverse! What does this mean exactly? How can the men that walked with the Messiah, himself, be called perverse? We need to investigate this deeper. Walk with us through the scriptures to see how we may be "faithless and perverse" before the eyes of The Most High.

Lessons from Matthew 6: That I Might See

Topical bible study on how to keep your minds eye on Jesus.

Matthew 28 pt. 2 Jesus is Resurrected and Meets with His Disciples

The witness of a woman was almost unworthy to be counted in the jewish culture, but Jesus appeared and spoke to them first. Another tradition broken by Jesus. What was going on with the Jews and the Roman soldiers who guarded the tomb? Why did they pay them off? After witnessing such an event, why did they still not believe and took the money instead? These questions, and many others, answered in this last chapter of Matthew.

Matthew 28 pt. 1 Sabbath or Sabbaths

Many translations write the first verse of Matthew 28 as In the end of the sabbath. But was it only one Sabbath day or more in the original text and in the Youngs Literal Translation.  Which is it? Scripture tells us of the feast days in the Old Testament. Walk with us through an exploration of the sabbaths, passover, and the feast of unleavened bread to determine the truth of the day Jesus was crucified and rose again.

Matthew 27 Jesus The Sacrifice for Sin, The Lamb Slaughtered

Do you ever feel a little ambivalence when it comes to the death of Jesus? That he freed us from sin and death, yet he was disgraced and slaughtered? Have you ever betrayed the blood of Jesus? What was the pay off? Listen and learn what the pay off was for Judas and the priest and pharisees. Another thing, was Judas ever really saved? What about the two different stories that are told his death?

Matthew 26 pt. 6 Jesus Denied; What is Going on with Peter?

Why is Peter weeping bitterly? Where do you go when you do wrong? Was he saved or unsaved? Did he lose his salvation?

Matthew 26 pt. 5 Jesus Questioned, Mocked, and Denied

Why did they want Jesus to "swear" to them? How important was that in the Jewish culture? What is the spirit of jealousy? Do you know this "Son of Man" Jesus claimed to be is mentioned in Daniel? What did he really say when he called Himself the Son of Man? How is Matthew 10:32 connected with Peter's denial of Christ? What does the word deny mean? What does this mean for us if we are disobedient and deny God in our own way?

Matthew 26 pt 4 Jesus Falsely Tried

What really happened at the trial of Jesus? Why was he taken to Annas and Caiaphas first? Was the priesthood corrupt? Listen and see if you know any priesthood such as this that exist today? Learn about the money changers and why Jesus turned over their tables.

Matthew 26 pt. 3 Jesus Falsely Accused

Jesus is now awaiting the time to lay down his life. He asks a few of his disciples to watch with him for his hour. As He went away to pray, did he ever doubt his mission? Was the prayer for the cup to pass a sign of doubt or weakness on Jesus' part? What did he mean that "the spirit is willing indeed, but the flesh is weak"? Was he speaking of himself also when he said this to his disciples? This and more in this portion of Matthew chapter 26 

Matthew 26 pt. 1 & 2 Jesus Faces His Accusers with Truth

Why did the chief priest and the pharisees want to kill Jesus?  How do you face your accusers? What about when the cock crow, was that a horn or a real animal? How should I look at Peters denial of Jesus? Was it determined or just prophesied?
