Matthew

• 3:52Matthew 8

  Now, this is not the first time that we've heard this question in the book of Matthew. And it's also not the last time that we will hear it. If you remember back in Matthew chapter 8, Jesus calms a storm. He makes the storm stop. And the disciples ask the question, who is this that even the wind and the seas obey him, that they do what he says? Just a few weeks ago, we were in Matthew chapter 16 and Jesus asked his own disciples, who do

Matthew

• 1:17Matthew 8

  …So whether you're in the balcony, in the VIP seats, whether you're in the cheap seats, whether you're on the couch watching from home, thank you for worshiping with us today. We're going to open the word in the book of Matthew chapter 8. Matthew is the first book in the New Testament, and chapter 8, verse 1 begins this way,

• 4:59Matthew 8

  And before you think, well, I'm not one of them. We are. We are they. Matthew 8, verse 1. When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. And right away, a man. Now, what's the man's name? I spent my whole life studying the Bible and I've not found it yet. We don't know. And maybe that's way, maybe that's God's way of saying, from the world's perspective, this man doesn't have a name.

• 32:13Matthew 8

  Matthew, chapter 8. Hearing this, the centurion man, Jesus was amazed and said to those following him, Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith. Remember, there's a centurion man who has a servant that's…

• 33:11Matthew 8

  Consider, again, Matthew, chapter 8. The boat's rocking, the seas are raging, the wind's blowing, and the disciples are scared. And Jesus said to them, Why are you so afraid? Oh, you of little faith. Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. Oh, that we would have faith today that drives out fear.

Who's Your King

• 30:48Matthew 8

  Should that not have been accepted? He thought limited faithfulness was enough. And how often in the New Testament does Jesus challenge his followers who were somewhat on the fence? Maybe they had raised a hand in church and said, Jesus, I will follow you wherever you go. And Jesus says, okay, Matthew 8, foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests,

Facts

• 20:26Matthew 8:29

  There was one person that said, "Okay, game on." What I find fascinating about this is, the normal reaction to Jesus Christ from demonic forces is a cry. You have in Mark 3:11 and Matthew 8:29, usually when demons encounter Jesus, shriek. Which is a reminder for me, the presence of Jesus Christ makes Satan nervous. There's never a time where Satan sees Jesus and feels like he has a chance.

  …that. That's okay. This is what Jesus did. You don't have to like Jesus. But this is who He is. See, Jesus would often gather in a way that makes church people uncomfortable. You say, well, how is that true? Well, in Matthew 8, there's a man who had skin disease, most likely leprosy. And these men were not only physically tormented, but they were social outcasts.

• 5:20Matthew 8

  But you just stay in the stands and be a fan. Jesus says to the crowds things like this. One man wanted to follow him in Matthew 8. And Jesus says, foxes have dens and birds have nests. But the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. In verse 21, another man comes right behind and says, Lord, I want to follow you. But first, let me bury my father. And Jesus says to him, let the dead bury their dead.

• 6:40Matthew 8

  And so it was when Jesus had ended these sayings that the people were astonished at his teaching. Matthew 8, chapter 19. There a certain scribe came to see Jesus and he said, teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. Matthew 9, verse 11. When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, why does your teacher eat with tax collectors eat with tax collectors and sinners? Matthew chapter 26, verse 49. Immediately he,

  of faith. We must never judge our security based on our circumstances alone. You see, these disciples had already experienced this storm thing before in Matthew chapter 8. They understood this storm stuff. They understood who they were with who they were with. We break through our comfort zones by taking a step of faith. Number four, we break through our comfort zones in order to fulfill…
