Matthew #58: The Beauty Of the Cross (Matthew 27:1-31)
<span class="played"><span class="icon"></span></span> Matthew #58: The Beauty of the Cross (Matthew 27:1-31) Janelle Greene & Rob Woodrum (7/12/26) <span class="progress"></span> <span class="total"></span> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zNywq2T4oyw?si=Zg7iIpAtX3Wa5Rlm" width="560" frameborder="0" title="YouTube video player" height="315"></iframe> <p class="">This Sunday we’ll be reading <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matt%2027%3A1-31&version=NLT">Matthew 27:1-31</a>. It describes the preliminary stages of the cross experience of Christ. We’ve stated before that the cross is the central revelation of God’s character. So, we’ll be focusing on the cross in our teaching, discovering what it reveals and provides for us. It’s a very painful section to read and discuss, but it is also beautiful when understood as a picture of God’s heart towards humanity. That’s one of those strange, delicate tensions that the Gospel is full of.</p><p class="">In v1-10, Judas went to the temple and the temple leaders because his heart was burdened by what he’d done. What response did he meet there? What does that tell us about what had happened to the temple system of that time? How does that contrast with Jesus’ ministry and what warnings do we discern when it comes to our own framework for the practice of our faith?</p><p class="">Through the rest of the section we’ll cover we read about the trial before <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontius_Pilate">Pilate</a>. Pilate had political aspirations and clearly wanted to protect those, but he also had difficulty with the apparent innocence of Jesus. The crowd and their leaders wanted blood and Pilate wanted to avoid a riot which could further tarnish his reputation as a competent leader for Rome. He offers a trade – he’ll let one prisoner go as a gesture of good-will for the Passover – the crowd chooses guilty Barabbas and innocent Jesus takes his place. Matthew is pretty heavy handed with the telling of this – it’s obvious what he wants us to see. What do you see? What is this a picture of the cross revealing about God’s heart and the Gospel?</p><p class="">When the soldiers mock Jesus, they dress him up like a clown king…a parody of what a ruler should look like. They fashion a crown out of thorny brambles to put on his head. The Creation story comes to mind, and the curse pronounced because of sin:</p><p class="">Gen 3:17…”cursed is the fertile land because of you;<br> in pain you will eat from it<br> every day of your life.</p><p class="">Considering that curse, what does Jesus being crowned with thorns mean to you? What can it be picturing about what the cross of Christ is providing for us?</p><p class="">As I said – it’s a heavy and painful section of Scripture to read – but beautiful beyond comprehension as well. Hope to see you Sunday.</p><p class="">Click <a href="http://eastgatefellowship.org/studies/newtestament/matthew2025/matt58.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.</p>

Matthew #56: Tasting The Tree Of Life (Matthew 26:17-30)
<span class="played"><span class="icon"></span></span> Matthew #56: Tasting The Tree Of Life (Matthew 26:17-30) Janelle Greene (6/28/26) <span class="progress"></span> <span class="total"></span> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WqXxdfo3Prk?si=bOLyI-z3xO0GRS9h" width="560" frameborder="0" title="YouTube video player" height="315"></iframe> <p class="">When I was in college, one of my professors led an activity that has stayed with me ever since. He said the word “apple” and asked us to write down as many descriptive words as we could. We wrote things like fruit and tree. Then he showed us a picture of an apple, and our list grew with words like red, round, and leaf. Next, he brought out a fake apple, giving us even more details to describe. Finally, he passed around a real apple. Now we could write about its weight, texture, smell, the sound of a bite crunching, and other characteristics that were impossible to experience through the previous examples.</p><p class="">The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate how much more we learn when multiple senses are engaged. The professor encouraged us to involve as many senses as possible when teaching because it increases the likelihood that people will understand and remember what is being communicated. Hearing alone has its limits, but understanding grows when we add sight, touch, and even taste.</p><p class="">I often think about that lesson when I consider why Jesus commanded us to eat and drink in remembrance of His sacrifice. We are not called only to listen or to watch. We are invited to taste and touch as we remember what Christ has done and worship Him.</p><p class="">This Sunday we will continue our study in Matthew by reading <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026%3A17-30&version=NLT">chapter 26, verses 17 through 30</a>. In this passage, we will see the Last Supper, where Jesus transforms the Passover meal into a reminder of the New Covenant established through His sacrifice. What stands out to you about Jesus’ words and actions?</p><p class="">If you would like to study more of the context ahead of time, The Bible Project has excellent resources on <a href="https://bibleproject.com/videos/what-is-passover/">Passover </a>and the biblical <a href="https://bibleproject.com/videos/covenants/">covenants </a>that provide helpful context for this week’s passage. We hope you will take a few minutes to explore them, and we invite you to join us this Sunday as we study God’s Word together.</p><p class="">Click <a href="http://eastgatefellowship.org/studies/newtestament/matthew2025/matt56.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.</p>
