Marriage and Our Culture and the Biblical Contours of Marriage
The Last Temptation
Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane was a precursor to the cross. What made the agony in the garden so unbearable? Is it even possible that the divine Son of God could feel the pain of emotional or physical suffering? What is it about the cross that makes it such an act of love? This sermon works out of Matthew chapter 26 to show us of the coming of darkness and the cup of wrath.
Into Jerusalem
Matthew chapter 21 tells of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Why was it that Jesus was so hush-hush about his identity/work early on in the gospels but later so public, especially during the triumphal entry? Why was it so astonishing that Jesus rode in on a colt vs. on a warhorse? What significance might the waving of palm branches have? The sermon reveals Jesus as a confrontational king, a counterintuitive king, and a coming king.
The Transfiguration
Matthew chapter 17 tells of Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountaintop. Why were Peter, James and John so afraid during this spectacular event? What is the significance of meeting with Moses and Elijah? How did Christianity completely supplant Greek philosophy, according to French philosopher Luc Ferry? The message tells us who Jesus is, why he came, and how to respond.
Healing the Sick
This sermon was preached by Timothy J. Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on Mar 4, 2012. Series: Savior and Teacher – A Study of Matthew – MP3. Scripture: Matthew 8:5-17
Out of Egypt
Jesus’ family fled to Egypt due to Herod’s attempt to kill the child Jesus out of fear. Matthew chapter 2 also records the return of the family into Palestine. Why was the child such a threat to Herod? What may have prompted Joseph to consider returning to Judea at first instead of his hometown in Galilee? How do we make sense of the Hosea prophecy to Israel (“out of Egypt I called my son”) applied to Jesus? The message covers an object of hate, agent of grace, and climax of plan.
