MNC Fellowship883 So Many Sheep, But Not So Many Shepherds (Matthew 9:35-38; 13:24-30)A sermon calling us to imitate the Master in his desire to see people enter a relationship with him and his Father.
2025-08-0121 minMNC Fellowship871 Where in the World is the Heart of the Earth? (Matthew 12:38-42)In this lesson I close out the three part mini-series covering the timetable of Yeshua’s death and resurrection by looking at the popular text in which he says he’ll spend three days and nights in the heart of the earth. How does that fit in with a preparation day death and first day resurrection? Listen to learn about proper interpretation of Scripture, idioms in the Bible, and how we should not be throwing people into Gehenna for disagreeing on most doctrines.
2025-05-0532 minMNC Fellowship843 Things Strangled, Blood, and Dogs (Ex. 22:31; Acts 15:19-20)A closer look at strangled meat, how animals are slaughtered today (in general), and the natural and spiritual aspect of “the dogs” in both Exodus 22 and Matthew 7. I end our study of Exodus 22 with a reminder that we want the control of Yahweh over our lives and true freedom is found in being devoted to Him.
2024-11-1732 minMNC Fellowship820 An Interview with Matthew Janzen, Religious LeaderA friend of mine got in touch with me (Matthew Janzen) about doing an interview for one of his college courses. He asked me various questions about being a pastor and the particular religious persuasion of our congregation. I hope it’s all a blessing to you.
2024-06-271h 33MNC Fellowship807 From Lame to Leaping, pt. 2 (Acts 3:7-10)This lesson delves into deceptive healings, centering in on Matthew 7:21-23, and then goes on to show what a genuine healing looks like. The meaning of “the name of Yeshua” is covered, and the significance of the timing of a lame man being able to stand up and praise/pray is touched on. What a wonderful account this is!

2024-01-1934 minMNC Fellowship766 An Eye for An Eye is Just (Ex. 21:24-25)On the heels of the Law concerning striking a pregnant woman comes a judgment clause about “eye for eye.” Is this barbaric and outdated? Have you ever thought deeper about what it could mean? Listen to learn of the just judgments of Yahweh, and also how Yeshua did not abandon Exodus 21:24-25 when he cited Matthew 5:38-42.
2023-04-2831 minMNC Fellowship753 Denying What Power? (2 Tim. 3:1-5)This sermon looks at 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Matthew 7:21-23, and Titus 1:15-16 in order to determine what power Paul is telling Timothy that some people deny. It’s so important that we always read and interpret Scripture in context, else we will come up with all sorts of fanciful doctrines. I critique the modern day Charismatic Church in this sermon, and I do not apologize for it.
2023-01-0739 minMNC Fellowship750 Did Yahweh Crush Yeshua on the Cross? (Atonement, pt. 4)I look here at (1) the Father’s attitude towards the killing or murder of Yeshua, (2) the salvation sermons preached by a primary Apostle of Yeshua [Peter], (3) and some objections given to my view based upon Isaiah 53 and Matthew 27. There’s a ton of info in this lesson, so get your Bible out and follow closely.

2021-12-2112 minMNC Fellowship678 Look at the Wildflowers (Matthew 6.25-34)In light of the current crisis, my mind has been focusing on Yeshua's words in his Sermon on the Mount. Worry is an easy thing to get caught up in. What is much better than worry though, is trust; a trust that not only believes but gives.

MNC Fellowship677 Pesac Sheni (Numbers 9; 2 Chronicles 30)This lesson is an offshoot of a current series (spring 2020) on Exodus 11 through 12. In light of current events (Covid-19), we are currently holding online services only, and have decided to observe Passover in the second month. Is this allowed? Listen to learn of the grace and mercy Yahweh shows us in His Passover.

MNC Fellowship676 Who is Israel? (Gal. 6:14-18, pt. 57)This is our final lesson in the book of Galatians. It covers things like martyrdom, the torture stake of Yeshua, suffering persecution for the Master, and what makes one an Israelite or child of Abraham.
2020-02-1545 min
MNC Fellowship675 Boasting in the Flesh (Gal. 6:11-13, pt. 56)Why does Paul mention writing with large letters? Also, the motive of the influencers is discussed. It is amazing that Paul says those who push circumcision don't even keep the law.

MNC Fellowship674 Don't Get Tired of Doing Good (Gal. 6:7-10, pt. 55)Whatever we sow is what we will eventually reap. Sometimes it just doesn't seem that way, but we must not get tired of doing good, because our harvest is coming.
2020-01-2536 min
MNC Fellowship673 Supporting Pastors Financially (Gal. 6:6, pt. 54)One way we love our neighbor is by taking care of men who have dedicated their lives to the study and teaching of law and gospel. This lesson covers both the abuse of such practice and the proper use.
2020-01-1747 min
MNC Fellowship672 Rebuke with a Gentle Spirit (Gal. 6:1-5, pt. 53)When you watch your brother and sister fall into a sin, how should you handle it? This lesson also covers what the phrase "law of Christ" refers to.

MNC Fellowship671 The Fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-26, pt. 52)The contrast with the works of the flesh is the fruit of the Spirit. If we have been given the first-fruits of the Spirit, we will produce fruit consistent with that gift.
2020-01-0330 min
MNC Fellowship670 Spiritual Warfare (Eph. 6:10-13, pt. 36)Our battle as Spirit-filled believers is with powers of darkness in a spiritual realm. Listen to learn about identifying our enemy and taking precaution to stand against him.
2019-12-2729 min
MNC Fellowship669 The Works of the Flesh (Gal. 5:16-21, pt. 51)What does it mean to be led by and walk in the Spirit? Why is it that as believers in the Messiah we still struggle with sin? Do certain sins keep one outside of the Kingdom? How will we ever win battles over our sin?
2019-12-1841 min
MNC Fellowship668 Don't Abuse Your Freedom (Gal. 5:13-15, pt. 50)Paul has taught the Gentiles to stand firm against the false gospel of the influencers, but he balances that out by also teaching them that they must fulfill the law. Just because you aren't justified by certain commandments doesn't mean you aren't required to obey Torah.
2019-12-1126 min
MNC Fellowship667 The Offense of the Cross (Gal. 5:7-12, pt. 49)This lesson covers the need to be careful who you listen to, Paul's preaching or not preaching of circumcision, how the torture stake the Messiah died upon was a stumbling block to many, and the call for the false teachers to be castrated. There's a lot to learn here.
2019-12-0438 min
MNC Fellowship666 Slaves and Masters (Eph. 6:5-9, Pt. 35)What does the Bible say about the relationship between a slave and a master? How are we to view slavery, and are there any relationships in modern society that are equivalent? We are all servants, and we should all serve with willingness and gratitude.
2019-11-2731 min
MNC Fellowship665 Faith Working Through Love (Gal. 5:2-6, pt. 48)Was Paul discouraging circumcision in Galatians? Why does he say that circumcision and uncircumcision doesn't accomplish anything? What really matters? What really makes a difference?
2019-11-1933 minMNC Fellowship647 Progressive RevelationI recently debated the topic of the virgin conception and birth of Yeshua. In that debate, Matthew's use of Tanak (Old Testament) prophecy was brought up. This lesson helps shed more light on that issue.
2019-06-2534 minMNC Fellowship584 Be Gentle (Matthew 11:28-30)If we want to be like the Messiah, we will deal with people gently, even difficult people.

On The RecordEpisode 113 - State Of Craft Beer with Matthew JanzenThe state of craft beer in Wisconsin is rapidly changing and steadily improving. At this point, it's impossible to document everything that's happening in Milwaukee brewing and in the other microbreweries spread throughout the state. That didn't stop Matthew Janzen from trying. The author and photographer took his interest in beer to the next level when he quit his job and took it upon himself to visit dozens of breweries, fields, and other facilities that work in concert to shape the reputation of Wisconsin brewing. Janzen combined the images, interviews, and information he collected into his first book, State...

MNC Fellowship519 Restoring a Brother or Sister (Matthew 18:15-20)Part 2 in the Church Discipline series. Yeshua gives us divine instructions on how to handle un-repentance inside of a congregation of believers. The main goal and purpose of his instructions is the restoration of the sinner. Listen to learn what Yeshua meant when he said, "Where 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name, there I am among them."

MNC Fellowship486 Daniel's Seventy Sevens (Daniel 9:20-24)After studying through Matthew 23 and 24 I have come to a different view on the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27. This lesson begins to unpack what I believe to be the proper way to understand the 70 weeks.

MNC Fellowship485 When You See the Abomination (Matthew 24:15-21, pt. 2)If the Roman armies are what makes desolate the city of Jerusalem, why are they called the *abomination* of desolation?
2016-04-0828 min
MNC Fellowship484 The Abomination of Desolation (Matthew 24:15-21, pt. 1)People speculate on what the abomination of desolation is going to be, but Yeshua actually tells us what it would be, in his future, but is now in our past. Listen to learn about this abomination and how it is connected with the great tribulation.
2016-04-0734 min
MNC Fellowship483 Gospel Into all the World (Matthew 24:14)Yeshua gives an approximate sign of the end here in his Olivet Discourse. Do we yet await the fulfillment of this sign, or did this sign take place before the generation alive at that time passed away?
2016-03-3133 min
MNC Fellowship477 Severe Persecution (Matthew 24:9-13)Another sign the disciples would experience was that they would be brought before high authorities and persecuted for their faith in Messiah. The book of Acts records the fulfillment of what Yeshua prophesied concerning this, during the Olivet Discourse.
2016-02-1653 min
MNC Fellowship477 Severe Persecution (Matthew 24:9-13)Another sign the disciples would experience was that they would be brought before high authorities and persecuted for their faith in Messiah. The book of Acts records the fulfillment of what Yeshua prophesied concerning this, during the Olivet Discourse.
2016-02-1653 min
MNC Fellowship476 Yeshua Answers His Disciples (Matthew 24:4-8)After the disciples ask their teacher the 3-fold question (Mt24:3), Yeshua replies to them with signs to look for. These signs though are regulated by a particular time reference Yeshua has already given, and will give again during the Olivet Discourse.
2016-02-0938 min
MNC Fellowship473 Yeshua is Greater than Jerusalem (Matthew 24:1-3)I briefly move away from Matthew 24 to discuss a pertinent point in relation to Yeshua's judgment upon Jerusalem and the Temple. Yeshua wants His people to move their focus off of the Temple; it had become corrupt. He wants their focus to be on something greater than the Temple.
2016-01-2552 min
MNC Fellowship472 The Disciples Three-Fold Question (Matthew 24:3)Yeshua's statements about the temple's desolation (Matthew 23:38; 24:2) prompted the disciples to ask him some questions privately. Were the questions unrelated? Did the disciples ask about things in which there were gaps of hundreds or thousands of years? Listen to learn about parallel texts of Scripture, and how they help us understand better, in relation to the questions of the disciples.
2016-01-1857 min
MNC Fellowship471 Zion Will be Plowed like a Field (Matthew 24:1-2)After scathing the scribes and Pharisees in his day, and pronouncing that their house would be left desolate, Yeshua exits the temple complex. His disciples realize the implications of his words and call his attention to the greatness of the temple. Yeshua's answer sets us up for the remainder of his prophetic discourse in Matthew 24.
2016-01-1141 min
MNC Fellowship470 Prophecy Begins with Bible Study (Matthew 24)For the most part, people do not realize that false predictions of the end of the world have been plentiful ever since Christ went to heaven. We hear someone say, "the end is near," but we don't realize someone said the same thing in the 1900's, 1800's, and 1700's. How are we to handle this? Is there anything we can do to stop the hysteria? There is. We should actually study Bible prophecy. This series is aimed at developing that skill in us all.
2016-01-0948 min
MNC Fellowship469 Jerusalem is Left Desolate (Matthew 23:37-39)As we come to close this chapter in Matthew's gospel, we learn of Yeshua's tenderness to the repentant, but we also learn of his harshness upon the unrepentant. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. Thus, the house that was once Yahweh's is not called their house, and it is left solitary and waste.
2016-01-0242 min
MNC Fellowship468 Judgment Upon This Generation (Matthew 23:35-36)All the righteous blood shed upon the earth would be charged to the scribes and Pharisees of Yeshua's generation. Why? This lesson contains pertinent information about the phrase "this generation" that is necessary to understand before moving into Matthew 24.
2015-12-2631 min
MNC Fellowship467 Persecution Predicted (Matthew 23:34)In this text, Yeshua says that he sends prophets to the scribes and Pharisees. I thought it was Yahweh who sent the prophets? Listen to learn what Yeshua means and how this thread runs through the entire New Testament.
2015-12-1952 min
MNC Fellowship466 The Sons of Murderers (Matthew 23:31-33)The actions of the scribes and Pharisees were a self-incriminating testimony. They were sons of their fathers, and would fill up the measure of their fathers sins. How would they do this?
2015-12-0344 min
MNC Fellowship465 Murdering the Prophets (Matthew 23:29-30)The Pharisees claimed they were not like their fathers. Their fathers murdered the prophets. Who were their fathers? The answer to this question is easy, if we allow the Bible to interpret the Bible. This begins the last of 8 woes upon the scribes and Pharisees of Yeshua's day.
2015-11-2650 min
MNC Fellowship464 Gnats and Camels (Matthew 23:23-28)The Pharisees were so focused on the small things that they neglected the big things. So focused on washing the outside of the cup that they forgot to make sure the inside was washed. We are pros at making ourselves look good, but looking good is not what matters. We need to be changed from the inside, out.
2015-11-1943 min
MNC Fellowship463 The Woes Begin (Matthew 23:13-22)Yeshua begins to pronounce the woes of a prophet upon the scribes and Pharisees. He does not ease up on them, but calls them hypocrites, blind guides, and fools. Why such harshness?
2015-11-1234 min
MNC Fellowship462 I Hope Someone Sees Me (Matthew 23:5-12)Holiness is not outward show. Outward show can be performed without there ever being a inward change of heart. Our good deeds should flow from the inside out, but we should always give ALL of the glory to our heavenly Father that enables us.
2015-11-1140 min
MNC Fellowship461 Beware of Scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 23:1-4)It's good to have leaders, teachers in a community, but leaders can become corrupt. Corrupt leaders leads to corrupt citizens and lopsided teaching. Listen to learn about the corrupt, first century leaders, and about their incorrect method in teaching Biblical law.
2015-11-0448 minMNC Fellowship391 One Name in Matthew 28:19?Continuing in the One Name Tradition series, I cover Philippians 2 in more detail along with beginning to cover some intricacies in Matthew 28:19, and the debate between Oneness Pentecostals and Classic Trinitarians. This one promises to get you thinking.
2014-09-2230 minMNC Fellowship387 I Come In My Fathers NameThis broadcast begins to look at Scriptures that are commonly used to teach the Oneness or One Name doctrine. The texts dealt with here are John 5:43 and 46, Matthew 21:9, and Jeremiah 23:5-6.
2014-09-0829 min
MNC Fellowship311 Did Yeshua's Death Cancel the Law? (Homosexuality Pt. 4)In the last installment in this series we look at several passages used by Matthew Vines to say that homosexuality is compatible with Biblical Christianity because... the "old law" has been abolished. Colossians 2:14, Matthew 5:17, and Romans 10:4 (among others) are discussed.
2013-04-251h 07MNC Fellowship299 But We Don't Have to Keep the Law (Homosexuality Pt. 2)This lesson continues to evaluate Matthew Vines (an openly "gay" professing Christian) lecture given in 2012. In this lesson I deal with the paradigm that exists in the minds of many concerning the Jerusalem council in Acts 15.
2013-02-181h 02MNC Fellowship282 Harmonizing Yeshua's WordsHow in the world do we harmonize what Yeshua said in Matthew 5:43-48 with imprecatory praying? Should we hate our enemies or love our enemies? What does it mean to love our enemies? Should we dismiss the Old Testament? Should we trash the New Testament?
2012-11-2840 minMNC Fellowship281 False Prophets and Fruit (Matthew 7:15-20)Sermon Update 11.4.21. When we hear the words "you'll recognize them by their fruit," our minds often go to Galatians 5 and the Fruit of the Spirit. I know this because I've heard countless people mention to "check for the fruit of the Spirit" before listening to and following a prophet or preacher. But is the fruit of the Spirit what we should be checking for?
2012-11-2131 minMNC Fellowship279 The Gate and Road are Narrow (Matthew 7:13-14, 21-27)Sermon Update 10.28.21. This is one of those texts that doesn't get preached on or even thought about very often, because it challenges our life. It makes us feel uncomfortable, because we don't really want Yeshua messing with what we want to do. But if that's the way we feel then it's pretty likely we won't make it to the kingdom. Listen to find out why.
2012-11-1344 minMNC Fellowship276 Keep Asking, Don't Ever Stop (Matthew 7:7-12)Sermon Update 10.21.21. We often try to fix things before or even without asking the Father in heaven for help. He's a good father, and he gives good gifts to those who ask, especially gifts of the Spirit. This lesson also covers the "golden rule," and centers in on its oldness.
2012-10-3029 minMNC Fellowship271 Why Emphasize the Law?People often ask me, "Matthew, why do you emphasize the law?" This short lesson is a three-fold answer to that question. The real question should be, "Why do pastors NOT emphasize Yahweh's law?"
2012-10-0830 minMNC Fellowship242 Trash Matthew 1 and 2Some people claim that the first two chapters of the gospel of Matthew should not be in the Bible. They also claim that the virgin conception of Yeshua is a myth borrowed from paganism. Listen to learn how to answer such critics.
2012-06-111h 00MNC Fellowship216 Most People Will Not Be Saved (Mt. 7)The seventh chapter of Matthew is the climax to what is arguably Yeshua's greatest teaching. Towards the end of this sermon Yeshua speaks of people thinking their entire life that they had salvation, but in the end they find out that he never even knew them.
2012-01-1557 minMNC Fellowship183 Do We Judge or Not? (Matthew 7:1-6)Sermon Update 10.14.21. The most well known verse in all the Bible is likely Matthew 7:1. Even unbelievers quote this verse (out of context). This lesson examines the phrase "judge not" in the context of Matthew 7, and in the context of the rest of Yeshua's teachings. I also go into one of the laws in Exodus 22 as it relates to what Yeshua says in Matthew 7:6.
2011-06-3028 minMNC Fellowship148 Don't Worry, Seek the Kingdom (Matthew 6:25-34)Sermon Update 10.6.2021. It is perfectly fine to be diligent, work, and plan, but it is not okay to live in fear and be anxious over what an enemy or the enemy is doing. Yahweh is in control. He will take care of us. Focusing on Him keeps us in perfect peace. Everything is gonna' be alright.
2010-10-1739 minMNC Fellowship130 The Good Eye and the Evil Eye (Matthew 6:22-24)Sermon Update 8.2021. Whenever you hear a preacher preach on having a good eye, or a single eye (KJV) you will hear them say something about having a single purpose in life. "Be focused. Don't wander." That may be pretty good advice, but it's not what Yeshua was talking about when he mentioned each of these two eyes. What is the meaning then? To understand it we have to understand the concept of idioms, and we have to reach back into the Older Testament and read some key Scriptures.
2010-06-1336 minMNC Fellowship129 Fasting and Heavenly Treasure (Matthew 6:16-21)Sermon Update 8.2021. One way Yeshua teaches we practice our righteousness is by not eating. When is the last time you fasted? This lesson also looks at how we harmonize Yeshua's command to "not store up treasures upon the earth" with all the examples of saints owning earthly possessions. How do we obtain treasure in heaven? How can our heart be in heaven?
2010-06-1233 minMNC Fellowship120 Trusting Inspired Instructions About BaptismWe sometimes have a difficult time believing what the Bible says about certain subjects or topics. This happens often when it comes to baptism as commanded by the Messiah in Matthew 28:18-20. People downplay baptism saying things like it is just an outward show and nothing else.
2010-04-0647 minMNC Fellowship105 A Textual Variant in the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:13b)Sermon Update 7.18.21.In some Bibles the "Thine is the kingdom" benediction is missing at the end of the Lord's Prayer. Why do these Bibles leave it out? Is the devil in the details? Listen to learn some points concerning Biblical textual criticism, as well as some pointers in talking to King James Only proponents.
2009-12-3049 minMNC Fellowship103 Praying for Spiritual Victories (Matthew 6:13)Sermon Update 5.4.21. When we pray, "Our Father... lead us not into temptation," does that mean Yahweh does sometimes lead us into temptation? What exactly is it we are praying for? Life is a series of tests, and we are to pray for spiritual victories throughout. We can't expect to win the battle on our own. We need a helper.
2009-12-1731 minMNC Fellowship102 Should we Forgive the Unrepentant? (Matthew 6:12, 14-15; 18:15-20)Sermon Update 4.27.21. This lesson falls on the heals of my Daily Bread and Forgiveness sermon (in the Sermon on the Mount series). I look more at the idea of Yahweh repaying us in return of how we treat others, and then I move into the issue of people walking in unrepentance. It's sometimes taught that we have to forgive others even when they don't repent, but is this proper?
2009-12-1528 minMNC Fellowship101 Daily Bread and Forgiveness (Matthew 6:11-12, 14-15)Sermon Update 4.20.21. We are to ask Yahweh to supply our needs and be thankful for all that He gives us. This is a daily thing, and so is forgiveness. We must have a genuine sense of indebtedness to Yahweh, seeing He has forgiven us of so much and been a compassionate Mighty One. This should flow over into our interactions with our neighbor. We should be just as forgiving toward them as Yahweh has been toward us.
2009-12-0841 minMNC Fellowship095 The Kingdom of YAH (Matthew 6:10)Sermon Update 1.28.21. What are we praying for when we pray for the Kingdom? Is the Kingdom now or future? Listen to learn about what Yeshua preached, and what we are awaiting as believers in Yahweh and His Son. It's gonna' be worth it all some beautiful and happy day.
2009-10-2528 minMNC Fellowship093 Our Father and His Name (Matthew 6:9)Sermon Update 1.21.21. This lesson begins the exegesis through the Lord's Prayer. When we pray, we come before the Ultimate Authority in heaven and earth. We are to speak humbly and respectfully, acknowledging Him as our Creator and adopted Father. We are also to pray that His name be honored as holy, which means our Father has a proper name, and we are to use it and proclaim it to others.
2009-10-1733 minMNC Fellowship092 Don't Babble like the Heathens (Matthew 6:5-8)Sermon Update 1.14.21. Growing up as a Christian, you hear all kinds of different prayers and ways of praying. I think it's best to listen to what Yeshua said in regards to how to pray and how not to pray. Prayer is a human speaking to the Almighty, and Yahweh isn't looking for flash and eloquence. He wants humility and contriteness.
2009-10-0333 minMNC Fellowship091 Giving in Secret (Matthew 6:1-4)Sermon Update 1.12.21. As servants of Yahweh and followers of Yeshua we are to practice righteousness, but we must be careful that we aren't doing so just so other people will see us and think well of us. Righteousness is best practiced in secret, just to please the Father. Our Father who sees us being humble will reward us, sometimes openly.
2009-09-1121 minMNC Fellowship090 Spread a Little Sunshine (Matthew 5:45-48)Sermon Update 1.5.21. When we love our enemies we show forth that we are the children of Yahweh. There is no great reward in loving or greeting someone that loves you. Heathens do that to each other. The reward comes when we do something out of the ordinary, loving those who do not love us. This sermon encourages us to show kindness to everyone, so that even when they speak negatively about your beliefs, they still will not be able to say that you are unkind.
2009-09-0431 minMNC Fellowship089 Loving Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-44)Sermon Update 12.29.20. There have been people throughout Israelite history who read the Torah, and concluded that they should love their neighbor, but not their enemy. Yeshua of Nazareth came along in the first century and told everyone to love their enemies, and do good to people that hate you. Why? What was the purpose in this, and does the Torah actually teach us to love our enemies?
2009-08-2832 minMNC Fellowship088 Overcome Evil with Good (Matthew 5:39-42)Sermon Update 12.22.20. As followers of Yeshua, we are supposed to be different. How are we supposed to be different though? What actions make us different? This lesson focuses on humility, kindness, peace-making, and love. When evil comes our way, instead of responding with more evil, we must overcome that evil by doing good.
2009-08-2130 minMNC Fellowship087 Eye for an Eye, or Mercy? (Matthew 5:38-39)Sermon Update 12.15.20. Here lies a verse that is often used as solid proof that Yeshua taught something different than Moses. Under the law, an eye for an eye was an established form of punishment. What about under the ministry of Yeshua? Did Yeshua uphold an eye for an eye? What in the world did he mean when he told us not to resist evil? This lesson is of great importance, as it will help you greatly in your discussions with those who seek to do away with the law of Moses.
2009-08-1329 minMNC Fellowship086 Be a Person of Your Word (Matthew 5:33-37)Sermon Update 12.14.20. How did Yeshua's view of oaths contrast with the Pharisees? What did it mean to swear by heaven, or Jerusalem? Our words should be something that people can count on. People of character keep their promises. Listen to learn how important it is that we say what we mean and mean what we say.
2009-08-0631 minMNC Fellowship085 Is Oath-Taking Sinful? (Matthew 5:33)Sermon Update 12.7.20. When I was a teenager in church, a pastor of mine told me he resigned from a group because they were going to require him to swear an oath. Should we swear in the name of the Creator? Is it blasphemous to do so? This lesson mainly walks through the Torah and looks at what Yahweh has to say about oaths. It's important to lay this ground-work before moving into what Yeshua was speaking against in his teaching.
2009-07-3032 minMNC Fellowship083 To Put Away Without Divorce (MDR, pt. 5)Sermon Update 8.20.20. Did Yeshua change the law on divorce (in Deuteronomy 24) when He spoke His words in Matthew 5:31-32? This message centers in on understanding the difference between two words that are commonly viewed as synonymous.
2009-07-2142 minMNC Fellowship073 Is Hell Real? (Matthew 5:22, 29-30)Sermon Update 6.20.2020. I begin a series within a series here, and look at a word that Yeshua has used three times thus far in his “Sermon on the Mount.” What is hell? Is it a real place? Do unbelievers who die go straight to the flames and burn there conscious, without end? I begin answering these questions and more in this lesson. Make sure to go to our sermon section on HELL to continue this study.
2009-05-1744 minMNC Fellowship072 Eyes Full of Adultery (Matthew 5:27-30)Sermon Update 6.13.20. How did Yeshua's view of adultery challenge the scribes and the Pharisees? Listen to learn that whatever it is that is keeping you held down to sin must be let go of before it is everlasting too late.
2009-05-1050 minMNC Fellowship071 Murdering with our Words (Matthew 5:21-26)Sermon Update 6.6.2020. The scribes and Pharisees were great at obeying the letter of the sixth commandment. Where they lacked was the heart, spirit, and intent of the sixth commandment. Yeshua peeled back this command in order to show the problems we all have in our day-to-day life of interacting with others. We should be careful in what we think and say.
2009-05-0334 minMNC Fellowship069 Behave Better than a Pharisee (Matthew 5:20)Sermon Update 5.30.2020. Do we have the ability to keep every commandment in the Torah (law)? Listen to learn about various applications of the law, and also how our behavior must be better than a Pharisees if we desire to enter the kingdom of heaven.
2009-04-171h 02MNC Fellowship068 Levels in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19)Sermon Update 5.23.2020. Let's take a look at the smallest of the commandments, and what it might mean when Yeshua talks about the "least in the kingdom of heaven." This sermon also centers in on the word break in Matthew 5:19, asking the question, "Is this the best possible way to translate the Greek word luo into English?" A lot is covered in this teaching.
2009-04-1653 minMNC Fellowship063 What Does Fulfill Mean? (Matthew 5:17-18)Sermon Update 5.15.20. What did Yeshua mean when he said he came to fulfill the law? This sermon also examines the phrase "heaven and earth" in Matthew 5:18, and looks at what is meant by jot or tittle (KJV) in light of the law.
2009-03-2748 minMNC Fellowship062 Yeshua Didn't Destroy the Law (Matthew 5:17)Sermon updated 5.8.20. In this lesson, I go into some opening remarks on setting our heart to obey Yeshua's command to not think he came to destroy the law. I also deal with some common misconceptions of what it means to fulfill the law and the prophets.
2009-03-1230 minMNC Fellowship061 How We Influence the World (Matthew 5:13-16)Sermon updated 5.1.20. In this lesson we look at how practicing the characteristics listed in Matthew 5:1-12 has a great effect and influence on the world we live in. Christians keep the world from spiraling into utter chaos. We will be tempted to fit in more than we should, but we must resist that temptation, all the while being kind and courteous in hopes of more souls coming to the Messiah.
2009-03-0547 minMNC Fellowship060 Persecuted for Righteousness (Matthew 5:7-12)Sermon Updated 4.24.20. In this lesson, I cover what it means to be a merciful peacemaker, and how purity in heart is not possible outside of the power of Yahweh. I also talk about how that living like Yeshua lived will bring persecution on one's life.
2009-02-2643 minMNC Fellowship059 The Happy Life (Matthew 5:1-6)Sermon Updated 4.22.20. In this lesson, I look at the common, casual teaching method of Yeshua, and what it means to live a blessed, happy life. Happiness for the child of Yahweh is not based on life's circumstances.
