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?

📖 Key Passage: Matthew 12:22–32

🎧 Listen now and consider: Am I open to God working in ways I don’t expect?
