2019-02-15 Paul Trask Comments 0 Comment

Jesus’s birth is the story of Christmas — and it is now February?! The date of his birth is secondary to the fact that he was born. In today’s program Pastor Matt utilizes: Scripture — particularly Luke 2:1-24, Leviticus 12:1-8 & Matthew 2:1-23 The writings of the first century author Flavius Josephus The work of NASA The field of mathematics All to show that Jesus’s actual birth date was most likely in the middle of February — not December.

Today we continue in the book of Colossians. In verse 15 of Colossians 1, we see the preeminence of Jesus, being the firstborn thru verse 19 where it is stated that it was the Father’s good pleasure that this occurred. God is in control. Jesus became the New Adam and the Church became the new Eve. Christians are the guardians of the church. Colossians 1:9-27

In verses 4 and 5 you find 3 markers of a believer, these are: Faith Hope, and Love Verse 9 starts with the reason Paul is telling the believers what he wants them to do: Gain knowledge of Christ and his kingdom — not from an intellectual point…

Jan 8, 2019 – Jesus Calls Us to Obedience and Repentance

2019-01-08 Paul Trask Comments 0 Comment

Please God — not man. Or simply put obey God. In doing that you might — or will — be at odds with other people. In today’s program Pastor Matt teaches from the book of Matthew as a backdrop for the idea that the events of Christ’s life — his birth, the coming of the wise men, his flight to Egypt and the exodus of the Israelites — are much alike. In Matthew 3:1 John the Baptist is calling for…

2018-12-25 Paul Trask Comments 0 Comment

The Christmas Story is about the work of the Holy Spirit, the creative participant in the birth. The mighty became small to bring their plan of salvation to mankind. (Matthew 1:16, 2:5; Psalms 139:7-10; Genesis 1:2; Job 33:4, 34:14; Psalms 104; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Matthew chapter 1 begins with the Genealogy of Christ which points to the promise given long before that the Savior would come. That promise is delivered in verse 18 God remained faithful to His promise (Matthew 1:1-25, 2:8, 7:7-8, 14:all)

2018-12-11 Paul Trask Comments 0 Comment

The prophecy of Isaiah 9:6-7 is fulfilled in Matthew 1:22-25. God is faithful to his covenant with man. Christ was born, became flesh, to redeem the lost. The fact “that” — not “when” — Jesus was born proves God’s love and faithfulness to his covenant. The eternal message of hope, Christ is here. (Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:22-25; Genesis 5:1-3; Matthew 2:13)

Dec 4, 2018 – Jesus: The Only One Born Completely Innocent

2018-12-04 Paul Trask Comments 0 Comment

Mankind goes astray at birth (Psalms 51: 5). In Matthew 2 as spoken by the prophets, the wise men came to visit Jesus. The priests, scribes and Herod “all” knew this child who was born in Bethlehem of Judea! This coming King would have jurisdiction over all mankind. Herod sought to kill him because of this. The Christmas story is a story of Christ’s birth but also one of jurisdiction. (Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 2:1-20; Romans 1:1-4; Genesis 2)
