SERMON – Recalibrating Expectations | Matthew 12:22–32
Manage episode 464473599 series 3644045
In this sermon on Matthew 12:22–32, I explore how Jesus’ miracles challenged the expectations of the Jewish people and revealed the true nature of the Kingdom of God. While many anticipated a Messiah who would overthrow Rome, Jesus brought liberation and restoration in a way they didn’t expect—casting out demons, healing the broken, and restoring people to full participation in God’s kingdom.
I unpack:
• The expectations of the Messiah in first-century Judaism.
• Jesus’ response to the Pharisees, who accused Him of working by the power of Satan.
• What this means for us today—how we recognize God’s work and respond with faith.
Jesus’ works demand a response. We cannot be neutral about His kingdom. The question is: Do we recognize the work of God, or do we resist it?
