The Epistles of John: Loving to be First (3 John 9-13)
October 5, 2025 · Dr Josh Burnham
27:57Matthew 20
And I can almost see John writing this through tears to Diotrephus. Because this is personal for John. He knows the poison that can be let in when you live a me first life. I believe his memory is drifting back to Matthew chapter 20. When John's mom comes to Jesus.
29:19Matthew 20
And she was saying to Jesus, Jesus, just can my boys please be first? That didn't go well, did it? And I can just imagine that as John's writing this, he's writing with tears because Jesus' words are echoing in his heart. And here is the response of Jesus Christ in Matthew 20 through 26 through 28. Jesus says, it must not be that way among you.
Matthew – The Necessity of the Cross (Matthew 26:1-5)
August 3, 2025 · Dr Josh Burnham
7:53Matthew 20
"But we see they might not have known fully." "This is the fourth time that Jesus has predicted that he will die on a cross." "Three times prior in Matthew, Matthew 16, Matthew 17, and Matthew 20." "He told them plainly." "These are plain words. These are not parable words." "Jesus says to them and to us that the Son of Man must suffer." "It wasn't a parable. He said that he would suffer."

He just knows that Jesus can save people like Him. Jesus can save tax collectors and sinners. Matthew was the one who recorded the words of Jesus in Matthew 20:28, where Jesus said, The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Jesus was saying that He gave His life for sinners.

collectors and sinners. Matthew was the one who recorded the words of Jesus in Matthew 20, 28 where Jesus said, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Jesus was saying that he gave his life for sinners like Matthew, like you. We don't
This Is Church – Serving (Matthew 20:26-28)
January 8, 2023 · Dr Josh Burnham
6:01Matthew 20
The message today is simply entitled, This is Church Serving. Serving. Think about God's grace flowing into you, flowing through you, and flowing out of you. Matthew chapter 20, beginning in verse 26. Jesus says, it must not be like that among you. Now he's speaking to the disciples, but he's also speaking to anyone who comes after them. He's speaking to those of faith.
8:09Matthew 20
Lord, we ask this in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. So in Matthew 20, which we just read, you find two disciples named James and John. And with them, we find their mother. And these three discover the hard way that Jesus' kingdom is an upside-down kingdom. It's unlike earthly power and might that we often try to achieve for ourselves.
