Come Sojourn with Us
This is where you will find sermons and updates for our church. Our mission is to preach expository sermons focusing on the gospel of Christ. We are a church that is tied to the reformed tradition and seeks to submit to the scriptures so we walk in the Lord’s wisdom rather than our own.
We would love to have you join us on our Christian sojourn if you are in the Belgrade, MT area. If you are not in area then join us by listening to our bi weekly free sermon podcast.
Stay informed by following us on Facebook, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or through our RSS feed. We would love for you to join us for worship every Sunday at 10 am and 6 pm. If you cannot join us in person then tune into our YouTube livestream.
Jesus goes away and stops interacting with the leaders of Israel. He simply leaves. The implication seems to be that Christ has to wait until the appropriate time to go to the cross so he needs to avoid controversy at this point. This is true, but Matthew tells us something else about Christ withdrawing and going away. How does Christ silently removing himself from a scuffle with the pharisees confirm his messianic mission?
Matthew tells us that this Jesus is the embodiment of Yahweh’s salvation that his name means, “Yahweh Saves.” There are two ways that we can understand Christ conducting himself. He could have his authority from Satan so he is only deceiving his followers or he can have his authority from God. I think that his authority is from God, but who do you say empowers Christ? This is the question that Matthew desires us to answer.
Herod, the king of the jews, is someone who should see that Christ’s entrance into history validates the jewish kingship. However, Herod does not react in joy, but he acts in a horrific way to the news of Christ. Herod demonstrates the horror of human depravity. How can the Lord triumph over this tyrannical man? Is this man able to usurp the Lord’s power?
We are a bible believing church in the Belgrade, MT. We are a Reformed Protestant church who desire to build one another up in love as we sojourn under the sun.
