1 CORINTHIANS 15:50-58

The command to love others is just as permanent as the command to love God. For the rest of eternity we will love God, and we will love others, perfectly. Prophecies and knowledge will pass away, tongues will cease; faith and hope will be realized, but love for God and love for others will go on and on, forever.

LOVING OTHERS

We're continuing our study of Matthew's Gospel, and this morning Jesus reveals the #1 thing that God requires of you and me, and desires for you and me. Nothing is more important to your life and to you soul than loving God. Whatever else you pursue in life: happiness, a career, skills, knowledge, relationships - the greatest pursuit of all is to love God.

LOVING GOD

"Is there life after death?" What question could be more important? Most people hope that there is life after death, but the truth is, many folks try not to think about it. You might be trying to do that right now. But there will come a time for all of us, when we are faced with the most important question in the world: "Is there life after death? And how can we know for sure?"

HIGHWAY TO HOLINESS - WHERE HOLINESS & RIGHTEOUS LIVING CONVERGES

But God's Word defines everything in relation to God. He is the refernece point. Everything has significance or insignificance as it relates to God. According to Scripture, the most important thing about you is the relationship you have to God. Who you are in relation to God when you pass from this world is who you will be for eternity--because that will be an eternal relationship.

JESUS AND CAESAR

"This is a parable about who will enter God's kingdom - those who receive eternal life, and will spend eternity with Him. Jesus compares it to a wedding feast. Obviously, the King is God the Father, and His Son is Jesus Himself."

WASHED ROBES AND BROKEN CHAINS

"We're returning to our study of Matthew's Gospel this morning, and we're going to look at the last 3 parables Jesus told to the religious leaders, just days before they have Him crucified."

R.S.V.P.

We're in the last week of Jesus' earthly life. Jesus is speaking to the same self-deceived religious leaders who had just questioned His authority. But Jesus exposed their hypocrisy and said that repentant prostitutes and tax-collectors will enter His Kingdom, but they won't! And He's just getting warmed up. He's going to keep blasting them for two more chapters!

FINALLY HE SENT HIS SON

"When you are spiritually self-deceived, you can be at full throttle in serving. Up front and out loud about your faith - but pride and self-sufficiency are squeezing Jesus out of your life. Lotta leaves, but no fruit."

ARE YOU SELF-DECEIVED?

There is a series of events in the section we're looking at, and they might seem random and unrelated, but I want you to see the priorities of Jesus in His last days before the cross.

THE MESSIAH'S PRIORITIES

1 PETER 1:3-6

If Jesus was jealous for the holiness of Herod's Temple, how much more is He jealous for holiness in His own people?
