Matthew Study - Part 6 of 10
Matthew 13:24-31 is commonly referred to as the Parable of the Weeds or the Parable of the Tares.
In today's video, we will look at the plant that underlies the parable and how knowing the characteristics of that plant gives us a greater understanding of the parable. When Jesus tells a parable, he is precise with his details. We must learn to look at the characteristics of those details to see how they are pointing toward the overall message.

Matthew Study - Part 5 of 10
As translated in English, Matthew 11:12 is a problematic verse for many.
In today's video, we explore this verse to see if there is a better way of understanding what is being stated. We look to a Messianic prophecy from the Old Testament that serves as the background for the verse. When we understand the underlying messianic prophecy to Matthew 11:12, we begin to understand what Jesus means in this enigmatic statement.

Matthew Study - Part 4 of 10
In this video, we explore the idea of Measure for Measure. Most Christians are unaware of this idea's prevalence within the Biblical text (unlike our Jewish brothers and sisters).
Measure for measure is part of God's justice and woven into the fabric of the cosmos. The more aware of Measure for Measure we are, the more we pay attention to our own behavior. Additionally, a deep understanding that God's justice will reach all actions allows us to forgive others and release the responsibility for justice to God.

Matthew Study - Part 3 of 10
In this lesson, we tackle a verse that is often misinterpreted - Matthew 5:17.
What does Jesus mean when he uses the words "abolish" and "fulfill?" In this video, we explore Rabbinic writings that also use these words in the context of scripture interpretation. These Rabbinic uses help us shed light on the point Jesus is making.

When Matthew composed Jesus' genealogy at the opening of his Gospel, did he have the moon cycle in mind?
Jesus' genealogy provides the foundation for what is to come in the remainder of Matthew's Gospel. Matthew deliberately divides the genealogy - Redemptive History - into three sets of fourteen generations. Why 14? Join us as we explore the structure of the genealogy and what Matthew may be communicating to Israel.
