Why A Sign of Jonah? (Matthew 12:22-37)

It seems that the leaders of Israel are coming around to understanding the significance of Christ’s ministry.  They simply want a sign, but Christ is upset with them for requesting a sign.  Jesus gives them a sign, but he gives them a sign of the AWOL prophet in the Old Testament.  Does this mean that Jesus is going to go AWOL or is there something deeper that Christ desires to communicate? 

Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Situated (Matthew 28:16-20)

We all know that the great commission is the call for the church to go out and to make disciples.  This is something that Christ explicitly states, but is this really the Great Commission?  What are we missing when we only talk about the call for the church to go out?
