Tim and Todd examine Matthew 22:34–40, where Jesus identifies loving God with our whole being and loving our neighbors as ourselves as the foundation of the entire law. Grow in your experience of God’s love, give him your whole heart, and let that love overflow into genuine care for others so they can experience the joy found in Christ.

Tim and Todd explore Matthew 22:23–33, where Jesus confronts the Sadducees’ denial of the resurrection and reveals that they underestimate both the Scriptures and the power of God. Trust God’s promise of resurrection, look beyond the limits of what you can imagine, and live with the hope of a new creation where death is defeated and life with God is everlasting.

The Tims are back to explore Matthew 22:15–22, where Jesus answers a trap about paying taxes to Caesar and reveals how we can honor earthly authorities while giving God our ultimate allegiance. Submit to those in authority with humility, trust in God’s sovereignty through an uncertain world, and give yourself fully to the One whose image you bear.

The Tims examine Matthew 22:1–14, where Jesus describes God’s generous invitation into his kingdom and warns against treating that invitation with apathy or accepting it on our own terms. Don’t miss the invitation—receive the righteousness Christ provides, realign your priorities around Jesus, and live in a way that reflects the grace you’ve been given.

Todd and Tim examine Matthew 21:33–46, where Jesus exposes the religious leaders’ rejection of God’s Son and reveals that the kingdom belongs to those who recognize Jesus for who he truly is and bear its fruit. Conform your understanding of Jesus to who He actually is, and joyfully live under the care and authority of the One who owns the vineyard.

David and Todd examine Matthew 21:23–27, where the religious leaders question Jesus’ authority while revealing that their real concern is protecting their own power rather than honestly seeking what is true. Reckon with the authority of Jesus and come to the end of yourself, trusting that greater joy is found in happily submitting to the King rather than holding tightly to control.

David and Todd examine the story in which Jesus uses the withered fig tree to teach about genuine faith, authentic worship, and a prayer life aligned with God’s will. Look beyond the appearance of faith and pursue a genuine relationship with Jesus, asking God to deepen your faith, align your desires with His will, and give you eyes to recognize the ways He is moving around you.

David and Todd examine Matthew 21:12–17, where Jesus confronts the corruption of the temple while welcoming the desperate, healing the hurting, and receiving the sincere worship of children. Get off the throne of your heart and come to Jesus with a humble, dependent faith, asking Him to keep your worship centered on who He truly is rather than on yourself.

David and Todd look at Matthew 21:1–11, where Jesus enters Jerusalem as the promised Son of David, revealing a King whose kingdom is marked by humility, peace, and complete authority over His mission. Release your need to control your circumstances and look to Jesus as your true King, trusting His authority and joyfully participating in the kingdom He is establishing.

David and Todd examine Matthew 20:29–34, where two blind men recognize Jesus as the Son of David and cry out for mercy while the crowds remain spiritually blind to the King standing before them. Ask Jesus to open your eyes to see Him more clearly, trusting His compassion and mercy as you follow Him with the same dependence and persistence as the two men who received their sight.

David and Tim trace Matthew 20:17–28, where Jesus contrasts the disciples’ pursuit of greatness with His own willingness to suffer, serve, and give His life as a ransom for many. Lay down the pursuit of prestige and recognition, and let the joy and grace of Jesus free you to serve others—not to earn God’s approval, but because you have already received His love.

David and Tim examine Matthew 20:1–16, where Jesus uses the vineyard workers to reveal the radically generous grace of God and the upside-down values of His kingdom. Receive God’s grace as the gift it is, letting go of comparison and entitlement so that you can delight in His generosity toward you and others.

David and Todd examine Matthew 19:13–30, contrasting the childlike faith that welcomes God's kingdom with the rich young ruler's struggle to surrender what he treasured most. Hold loosely to the things of this world and treasure Christ above all else, trusting that what He offers is far greater than anything you could ever leave behind.

David and Paul examine Matthew 19:1–12, where Jesus responds to questions about divorce by pointing back to God's original design for marriage as a covenant that reflects His character and kingdom. Pursue Christ above all else in your relationships, allowing His love to shape your marriage, your singleness, and every season of life with an undivided heart for His kingdom.

Tim and Todd consider Matthew 18:21–35, where Jesus uses the parable of the unforgiving servant to reveal the immeasurable mercy God has shown us and why forgiven people are called to forgive others. Release the hurt you've been carrying into God's hands, remembering the forgiveness you've received in Christ and extending that same grace to those who have wronged you.
