Can we be sure we can trust God to keep his promises to us? What about God’s promises to his chosen people, Israel? Have God’s promises failed? This week we see from Romans 9:1-33 how God’s promises have not failed, nor is he unjust, because salvation depends on God showing mercy to those he has chosen. Far from undermining our confidence, understanding God’s merciful choice humbles us and gives us a deeper confidence in our sovereign God.

This Generation

Still today we find ways to dismiss and reject the truth of Jesus. We are an evil and adulterous Generation. This week we see from Matthew 12:38-50 that we should stop dismissing Jesus and come to him and repent and find ourselves in the family of God.

The Divided Kingdom

How can we know where we stand with Jesus? It’s an important question with eternal consequences. This week we see from Matthew 12:15-37 that, as God’s Spirit-Filled servant king, Jesus is gentle and gives real hope to those who trust Him but promises judgment to those who reject Him.

The Lord of the Sabbath

Rules are pretty useful, but they can never give us real rest and real relationship with God and others. This week we see from Matthew 11:25-12:14 that true rest isn’t found in keeping the rules under our own strength, but coming to Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, who frees us to truly love God and truly love others.
