Dr. Gaylan Mathiesen delivers a message about how John the Baptist Prepares the way for Christ. Scripture from Matthew 3.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

What was it that prompted Jesus to commend a Gentile woman, from an ancient enemy of Israel, for her faith?  Jesus didn’t play favorites.  It was all in the manner in which she approached Him - in desperation, adoration, and humiliation - the marks of great faith. Scripture from Matthew 15:21-28.

The Marks of Great Faith

If you had just one wish, what would it be?  Winning a sweepstakes or lottery? In Matthew 13:44-46 capitalizes on this same everyday human desire by comparing His rule and reign in peoples’ lives with the joy of discovering a buried treasure or a pearl of great value.  The kingdom of heaven isn’t something you work to find, it’s simply received by faith but its value is beyond comparison. Scripture from Matthew 13:44-46.
