Opening Whats Closed Matthew 9: 27 - 34
As a blind man and a demon possessed, mute man are brought to Jesus we see Him heal once again. Here, the faith of the blind man is commended. But is it the amount of faith that is important or the object of that faith? Remember, “faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains” (Matthew 17: 20). Where is our faith? What are we trusting in as the thing that will bring us hope, joy and fulfilment? Is it Jesus?
From Series: "Matthew - Your Kingdom Come"
In January 2021 we spent time reading through The Sermon on the Mount in our series called “The New Normal”. As we worked through Matthew 5, 6 and 7 we looked at what God’s Kingdom looks like, what it means to be truly blessed and how we can know and love God more. Now, Jesus goes out, into the crowds, traveling round demonstrating the coming Kingdom. We see Him heal, call people to repentance, forgive, raise the dead, cast out demons, calm the storm and eventually calls his disciples to do the same. We want to see His Kingdom come in this city, we want to see Jesus move and we want to do the things we see Him do. In Portsmouth we want to see the light shine in the darkness; that’s who Jesus is, a light in the darkness and the darkness cannot over come.
