    Matthew 21 and the parable of the two sons, and tenants in the vineyard are really about "Yahweh" coming to His temple, His dwelling place. The Pharisees rejected His Messiahship and thus they ask: "By what authority...." Conclusion: Who do you say Jesus is?

    The message is about our "walk" not "salvation". “The primary act of faith is forgiving. It is the characteristic act of God, the Father of Jesus Christ. If we follow him in faith, it is the first thing we do in our following. Quotes from Solzhenitsyn & Robert Hoyer

     | 353 views

    Instead of telling us what faith is...the Bible shows! For our sermon together let’s focus our attention on the faith of one Canaanite woman as an example of “great faith.”
