WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT: Today, we start a new series within the Gospel Matthew, titled Dawn of An Era. We’re now leaving behind the Christmas story and are now diving into Jesus’ public ministry. Yes, that’s a 30-year jump, and obviously, you must be asking, “Gee, what did Jesus do during those 30 years?” We will answer that question next week. (Suspense!) Talk 2: Eat Locusts The key message of Talk 2 is: Live an inspiring life. The talk is titled Eat Locusts because eating locusts signified the simple, inspiring life of John the Baptist— as we read in the key Bible verses for this talk, Matthew 3:1-10 NLT, where Matthew describes the life of John the Baptist when he was preaching. Verse 4 particularly describes how John looked and what he ate: 4 John’s clothes were woven from coarse camel hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food, he ate locusts and wild honey. The Greek word for “locusts” could mean the insects or the seeds of the Carob Tree. But it’s really possible that John the Baptist ate the seeds because according to Leviticus 11:22, Jews were allowed to eat them. By living a simple life, John the Baptist inspired many as he started preaching about the coming of Jesus, the Messiah. When John called people to repentance, thousands did. Before He started His ministry, Jesus also lived a simple life— as a carpenter— for 30 years. Thus, like John, He inspired many to live a godly life.…

Talk 1: Tough and Gentle Talk I, Tough and Gentle, introduces us to the man called John the Baptist. The simple but powerful message of Talk 1 is Receive His Mercy . John’s message isn’t very popular today. He said, “Repent of your sins and turn to God...” (v.2) People don’t like hearing calls of repentance. Talk 1 points out why most people don’t like calls to repentance. Most people imagine John the Baptist to be an angry, hairy, scary guy. Talk 1 presents John the Baptist as tough and gentle as Jesus. When Jesus called the proud to repent, He was tough, but when He called everyone else to repent, He was gentle.…

The Birth of a King - Lessons and Inspiration From the Book of Matthew February 28, 2020 Intro - Bro. Clark Talk 6 - God will set you free - Bro. Nerry Encia Talk 7- God sees your greatness - Bro. Eng Si JESUS IS KING Making Jesus King of your life is not a selfish act. Some people have a selfish spiritual life. It’s all about “me and God”. Jesus is simply a visa to heaven, nothing else. Warning: If you make Jesus King of your life, He’ll turn your life upside down. He’ll ask you to co-build the Garden of Eden in this world. He’ll bless you, yes, but only so that you can be a blessing to the world. Question: How can you build God’s kingdom in your circle? In your workplace? In your area of influence? Let’s end with the words of Pope Paul VI when he said, “Above all the Gospel must be proclaimed by witness. Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.”…
