We see from the beginning of Matthew 27 what looks like a recapping of what Matthew has already told us in Matthew 26. But NT writers were not ones to waste paper or papyrus and ink. No, what we have in the opening verses of Matt.27 is the 3rd part of the trial of Jesus before the Jewish leaders. That is not to say that we pin all the blame of the rejection of Jesus and His death only on the few religious leaders, nor do we want to blame all the Jewish people. We are......

In this week’s episode of Matthew’s Gospel, we look more deeply into the denials of Peter. Was it just a matter of a momentary failure to share his faith, or was Peter pretty much guilty of apostasy? If it is the latter then of course it means that Peter’s conversion and return to Christ is so much more the more powerful! To watch today’s church service, just click on this link!...

The religious leaders realised that they couldn’t depend on the false and conflicting testimonies of those who claimed that Jesus said that He would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days. And besides, that was somewhat of the expectation of what The Messiah was to do in building a New temple. So, seeing that they were getting nowhere, the High Priest Caiaphas invoked the law to adjure the witness to answer the accusations. And this time Jesus confirmed that He was indeed not only The Messiah but also the Son......

Matthew has condensed his account of Jesus’ “Trial” before the Jewish leadership, leaving us the impression that all was carried out before Caiaphas, whereas in reality Jesus was first taken to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the actual High Priest that year. But of course the two of them were in cahoots to have Jesus condemned. The big question was, how they would pin the death penalty on Jesus, “legally”! Was there ever anything that Jesus had said that could be used against Him? It was difficult for the Jewish......

In the message given by Nicky, the wife of one of our Elders, she shared from the Word of God and combined that with personal testimony. We heard how God can take someone easily broken ‘like a reed’, and make them strong, ‘like a rock’. Of course this was the case of Peter, who was also known as Simon Peter.

What can we learn about Abraham’s faith? We know that he believed God against incredible odds – well, actually there was NO way in the natural for Abram and Sara to have children. That is because not only was Sara barren, but later in life they still had had no children together, and now they were getting too old, well beyond the natural age for having children. And yet Abram believed God! Abram’s name was changed by God to reflect this. No longer was he to be known as ‘exalted father’, but......
