The King and Counterfeit Kingdoms: Rightly Identifying Our King | Matthew 22:41–46
<p><strong>Main Text: </strong>Matthew 22:41–46 (ESV) 41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet” ’? 45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.</p><p><strong>Preaching Point</strong>: If we want to rightly worship Jesus, we must embrace him as both David’s Son and David’s Lord.</p><p><strong>Teaching Points:</strong></p><ol><li>Reject Inadequate Views of Jesus (vv. 41-43a)</li><li>Use Scripture to Define Jesus’ Identity (vv. 43b-45)</li><li>Allow Scripture to Have the Final Word (v. 46)</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Application Questions:</strong></p><ol><li>Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week’s sermon. Why did it stand out to you?</li><li>Read some of these passages: Romans 1:3–4, Colossians 2:9, Hebrews 1:1–3, Isaiah 9:6-7, Psalm 2, Luke 1:30-33, Psalm 110, Daniel 7:13–14, Philippians 2:5–11, John 1:1–5, and John 1:14. What do these passages together teach about the full identity of Jesus?</li><li>Why is it spiritually dangerous to reduce Jesus to merely a great moral teacher, a spiritual guide, a human hero, or even only your personal Savior? What aspects of his identity would you be ignoring?</li><li>Which aspect of Jesus' identity do you most naturally overlook — his humanity, his deity, his kingship, his authority, his coming judgment, his compassion, his lordship, or some other aspect? How should a fuller understanding of who Jesus is change the way you worship, obey, and follow him this week?</li><li>Read John 5:39–40 and Hebrews 1:1–3. Why does Jesus insist that the Scriptures are the proper place to discover who he truly is? </li><li>What are some specific ways you’ve seen people defining Jesus outside of Scripture using — their experience, culture, personal preference, or tradition. Why are those definitions insufficient? </li><li>What are some ways scripture has clarified your view of Jesus? And how are you cultivating the habit of letting Scripture shape your view of Jesus rather than the other way around?</li><li>Read James 1:22–25 and Hebrews 4:12–13. What are the dangers of being confronted by Scripture and yet refusing to let it have the final word? </li><li>What can this kind of silent resistance to God’s Word look like in everyday life, and where in your life are you most tempted to hear clear biblical teaching yet walk away unchanged?</li><li>How will you commit to allowing Scripture to have the final word this week rather than simply acknowledging it or ignoring it?</li></ol><br/>

The King and Counterfeit Kingdoms: The Great Commandment | Matthew 22:34-40
<p><strong>Main Text: </strong>Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV) 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."</p><p><strong>Preaching Point: </strong>Jesus teaches us to measure genuine faith by how comprehensively we love God and how sincerely we love others.</p><p><strong>Teaching Points:</strong></p><ol><li>Ask: What Does God Expect from Me? (vv. 34-36)</li><li>Love God with All You've Got (vv. 37-38)</li><li>Love the Person Next to You (vv. 39-40)</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Application Questions:</strong></p><ol><li>Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week's sermon. Why did it stand out to you?</li><li>Read Deuteronomy 10:12–13 and 1 John 3:23. Although there are specific ways God asks us to love, how do these summaries help clarify your role as a Christian and simplify your understanding of God’s general expectations for you? </li><li>How might your daily decisions and commitments change if you viewed every decision through the lens of “how will this love God and love others?”</li><li>Read Deuteronomy 6:4–5. What does it practically look like to love God with all your heart, soul, and strength?</li><li>Which area of your life most clearly reveals a lack of wholehearted love for God right now?</li><li>Read Deuteronomy 30:6. What hope does this passage give Christians concerning their ability to grow in love for God?</li><li>How does God's promise to transform your heart encourage you to keep pursuing Him?</li><li>Read John 15:12–13 and Mark 12:31. How would you honestly evaluate your love for all of the people God has placed around you?</li><li>Make a list of ways Christ has loved you and ways you naturally care for yourself. How can you intentionally show those same kinds of love to others this week?</li><li>Read 1 John 4:7–12 and 1 John 4:19–21. What do these passages teach about the connection between loving God and loving others?</li><li>What areas of loving others have you neglected, avoided, or need to improve? What specific step can you take this week to improve in your love for those around you?</li></ol><br/>

The King and Counterfeit Kingdoms: Getting it Right About God and Government | Matthew 22:15–22
<p><strong>Main text: </strong>Matthew 22:15–22 (ESV) 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.</p><p><strong>Preaching Point: </strong>Jesus’ words should corner our rebellious hearts and cause us to regularly submit to our God-given earthly authorities, while reserving our ultimate allegiance and submission for the King of Kings. </p><p><strong>Teaching Points: </strong></p><ol><li>Address Your Rebellious Heart (vv. 15-18)</li><li>Honor Your God-Given Earthly Authorities (vv. 19-21a)</li><li>Supremely Honor Your Heavenly King (21b-22)</li></ol><br/><p><strong>Application Questions: </strong></p><ol><li>Write down one insight or application that you found helpful from this week’s sermon. Why did it stand out to you? </li><li>Read Matthew 22:15–22. How would you honestly describe your attitude toward authority in your home, workplace, church, government etc.?</li><li>Read Romans 8:7. Where do you see rebellion most clearly? Is it outward defiance, quiet grumbling, outward compliance with inward resistance, or something else?</li><li>What does that pattern reveal about your heart?</li><li>Read Mark 7:9–13. In what ways are you tempted to look for apparent loopholes, exceptions, or different interpretations of scripture in order to dismiss the authorities God has placed over you? How can you fight this temptation?</li><li>Read Romans 13:1–7 and 1 Peter 2:13–25. What objections to submitting to earthly authority do these passages directly address? </li><li>How can these passages reshape your attitude toward imperfect leaders and institutions as you strive to live for Christ?</li><li>Read 1 Chronicles 29:11 and Colossians 1:15–17. What are the implications of these passages in your life?</li><li>Write down five practical applications that these passages bring to mind when it comes to supremely honoring God’s authority in your life. </li></ol><br/>
