| 51 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 51) Chapter 18:1-14 - Childlikeness | Childlikeness is the start of all true greatness and most basic characteristic of all spiritual life. Ed shares what the condition of the nature of children as the first characteristic of those who are living spiritually. | Ed Miller | 51Matthew_18_The_Childlikeness.mp3 | Matthew 18:1-14 | |||||||
| 52 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 52) Chapter 18:5-35 - The Forgiving Spirit | In terms of offenses, God holds both the offender and offended guilty. The second characteristic of a spiritual Christian is a forgiving heart. Ed points out how God forgives by being the initiator, forgiving us without a struggle, forgiving us in advance and without limit! | Ed Miller | 52Matthew_18_The_Forgiving_Spirit.mp3 | Matthew 18:5-35 | |||||||
| 53 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 53) Chapter 19:1-15 - Purity | Behind the strong illustration of marriage and divorce are the spiritual principles of true purity. Holiness does not come from rules but principles--pressing back to God. Every Christian is called to be a "heart eunuch", one that holds his relationship with God higher than any position, relationship or possession on the earth. | Ed Miller | 53Matthew_19_Purity.mp3 | Matthew 19:1-15 | |||||||
| 54 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 54) Chapter 19:1-10 - Special: Sex, Divorce & Seperation | Ed labors to arrive at God's truth on divorce and separation in our day. Because marriage is one of God's greatest picture of union with Christ, marriage can be only broken by death and one exception. Divorce, separation, remarriage and reconciliation are many facets to this teaching. | Ed Miller | 54Matthew_19_Special_Sex_Divorce_Seperation.mp3 | Matthew 19:1-10 | |||||||
| 55 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 55) Chapter 19:16-26 - Pure Grace: Rich Young Ruler | The fourth characteristic of a spiritual Christian is one who lives by the pure grace of God. "None of us," remarks Ed, "have so fully drunk from the fountain of grace that we're not burned in some way by legality." Because God's perfect standard only accepts absolute good--God Himself--it should drive us to Christ and expect the kind of miracle obedience like that of a camel going through the needle's eye! | Ed Miller | 55Matthew_19.mp3 | Matthew 19:16-26 | |||||||
| 56 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 56) Chapter 19:27-20:16 - Pure Grace: Laborers in the Vineyard | All God's blessings and rewards are based upon pure grace, not the legal spirit of cause and effect. One who is living by pure grace is not earning God's blessings but is simply a responder to the opportunities God brings his way. One who is truly humble doesn't get proud when blessed or jealous when others get blessed, for it is all undeserved. | Ed Miller | 56Matthew_19_The_Labors_In_The_Vine_Yard.mp3 | Matthew 19:27-20:16 | |||||||
| 57 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 57) Chapter 20:17-28 - Lordship and Service | The fifth outworking of true spirituality is a life poured out in service to others. The amazing revelation of Jesus is that He is Lord of my life so He can serve me not lord it over me. What does it mean for us to serve others? | Ed Miller | 57Matthew_20_LordShip_And_Service.mp3 | Matthew 20:17-28 | |||||||
| 58 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 58) Chapter 20:29-34 - Spiritual Blindness | The sixth outworking of true spirituality is sensitivity to human need. The healing of the blind men illustrates the principles we need to have as Christians to have eyes to see what is still concealed in Christ. | Ed Miller | 59Matthew_21_The_Spiritual_Blindness.mp3 | Matthew 20:29-34 | |||||||
| 59 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 59) Chapter 21:1-11 - Triumphal Entry To Jerusalem | The seventh outworking of true spirituality is worship. All worship is the result of seeing Christ as revealed through the Word. Ed shares how this unique event of Jesus' publicity was both a triumphal entry and a non-triumphal entry. | Ed Miller | 58Matthew_21_Triumphant_Entry_To_Jerusalem.mp3 | Matthew 21:1-11 | |||||||
| 60 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 60) Chapter 21:12-16 - The Cleansing of the Temple | Worship is the spontaneous outflow of a heart that's turned on Jesus. The King cleanses His temple to make us what we ought to be--a house of prayer for all nations. Though He turns our lives upside down, He makes us usable to others, giving light to darkened eyes and strength to weakened legs. | Ed Miller | 60Matthew_21_The_Cleansing_Of_The_Temple.mp3 | Matthew 21:12-16 | |||||||
| 61 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 61) Chapter 21:17-22 - The Cursing of the Fig Tree | What follows worship? The Lord hungers for reality in our lives, as illustrated by the cursing of the fig tree. It takes a mighty miracle of God to produce "figs out of season" in our lives. This is a solemn warning against pretending to have the fruit of the Spirit and concludes with an encouragement that real fruit is possible to those who believe. | Ed Miller | 61Matthew_21_The_Cursing_Of_The_Fig_Tree.mp3 | Matthew 21:17-22 | |||||||
| 62 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 62) Chapter 21:23-22:14 - The Essence of Hypocrisy | The best answer to dishonest questions is silence--"Neither will I tell you." The three parables Jesus taught revealed the essence of hypocrisy: lip-service, self, and externals. Those who are looking to Christ are real through and through. | Ed Miller | 62Matthew_21_23.mp3 | Matthew 21:23-22:14 | |||||||
| 63 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 63) Chapter 21:33-22:14 - Unreality Parables | The Parable of the Vineyard is a warning against bearing fruit for yourself rather than the Lord. Yet God is very patient with unreal people, using many instruments and the Son Himself, to make us real. The Parable of the Wedding Garment is about God's gracious provision of appropriate "heart attire" for the pleasure of His Son. | Ed Miller | 63Matthew_21.mp3 | Matthew 21:33-22:14 | |||||||
| 64 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 64) Chapter 22:15-46 - Three Dishonest Questions | The chief expression of hypocrisy is the mouth. Jesus' response to dishonest questions is instructive for us too; He answered the questions of their heart not what they verbalized. "When you know God," Ed remarks, "you don't need to know why; you just need to know Him." | Ed Miller | 64Matthew_22_2.mp3 | Matthew 22:15-46 | |||||||
| 65 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 65) Chapter 23:1-14 - Hypocrisy | Jesus' bold authority in the 8 woes are blended with tender love. The only two choices in life are living for self or living for God. These different forms of self are very subtle when it pretends to choose God. | Ed Miller | 65Matthew_23_Hypocrisy.mp3 | Matthew 23:1-14 | |||||||
| 66 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 66) Chapter 23:15-24 - Substituting Zeal and Pictures for Reality | Ed expounds upon the unreality of substituting party zeal (sectarianism, denominationalism) for zeal for the Lord and how it expresses itself in our day. Pictures (e.g. baptism, the Lord's Supper) are not God, yet unreality puts a spiritual atmosphere to them. Finally, what you do are the "gnats"; what you are (character) are the big things. | Ed Miller | 66Matthew_23.mp3 | Matthew 23:15-24 | |||||||
| 67 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 67) Chapter 23:25-39 - More Substitutes for Reality | Ed teaches on the last of the 8 woes of substituting reality. If you're "dirty" on the inside, run to Jesus. Substituting death for life is accepting "whitewashing" for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Finally, is my heart embracing the Savior or men who have embraced the Savior? | Ed Miller | 67Matthew_23.mp3 | Matthew 23:25-39 | |||||||
| 68 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 68) Chapter 24 - Intro to the Second Coming of Christ | Ed introduces the Olivet discourse with four principles of approach: Christ-centered, no signs to prepare you, present realization, and common denominator truth. This ninth outworking of union with Christ has at heart: I will be prepared. | Ed Miller | 68Matthew_24.mp3 | Matthew 24 | |||||||
| 69 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 69) Chapter 24 - Preparation for Christ's Coming | Ed labors to highlight the common denominator principles of in this controversial chapter. The coming of the Lord is both an event and a process. The Lord's discourse give us 8 pictures which call us to preparation. | Ed Miller | 69Matthew_24-25.mp3 | Matthew 24 | |||||||
| 70 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 70) Chapter 24-25 - Preparation for Christ's Coming | The Lord Jesus used 11 illustrations to illustrate just one point: be prepared. All 3 parables in chapter 25 are talking about light and opportunity each of us have. | 1984-06-19 | Ed Miller | 70Matthew_24-25.mp3 | Matthew 24-25 | ||||||
| 71 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 71) Chapter 25:1-12 - The Parable of Ten Virgins | Ed unpacks this parable full of diverse opinions by giving several important Bible principles to assist in coming to common denominator truth. This heart parable teaches the truth that watching is resting. The message concludes with five ways to "feed our flame"--feeding ourselves to keep the fire burning. | 1984-06-26 | Ed Miller | 71Matthew_24-25_The_Parable_Of_Ten_Virgins.mp3 | Matthew 25:1-12 | ||||||
| 72 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 72) Chapter 25:13-46 - Parables of Preparation | The main point of the parable of the talents is to be prepared to the revelation of Christ that God has given you. The majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ before all the created universe has for its main point: prepare by ministering unto the heart of Christ. | 1984-07-04 | Ed Miller | 72Matthew_25.mp3 | Matthew 25:13-46 | ||||||
| 73 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 73) Chapter 26:1-16 - Mary of Bethany | The first principle that God prepares me for studying the cross is the Lord's control of circumstances and men. The second principle drawn from Mary of Bethany's life is that Jesus deserves the pouring out of incalculable love. The Lord Jesus loves it (though His closest disciples view it as reckless) and results in a testimony for the world. | Ed Miller | 73Matthew_26_Mary_Of_Bethany.mp3 | Matthew 26:1-16 | |||||||
| 74 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 74) Chapter 26:20-46 - The Lord's Supper / Gethsemane | The bread and wine are emblems that picture life through death. The beauty of the Lord's Supper is the simplicity of feeding upon Christ and appropriating Him. Gethsemane is holy ground that shows us the horror of the cup of God's wrath upon sin that Jesus had to drink on our behalf. | Ed Miller | 74Matthew_26_The_Lords_Super.mp3 | Matthew 26:20-46 | |||||||
| 75 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 75) Chapter 26:14-50 - Judas | The sleeping disciples showed how vital it is to depend on God to keep us awake when spiritual things are going on. Ed touches on the background and mystery surrounding Judas and what his contribution is to redemption--warning. Jesus' dealing with the son of perdition is a revelation of His supreme love and patience. | Ed Miller | 75Matthew_26_Judas.mp3 | Matthew 26:14-50, John 18:3-8 | |||||||
| 76 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 76) Chapter 26:50-75 - Peter's Denial | The Holy Spirit recorded Peter's denial for our instruction not to be presumptuous and not to despair. We've got to learn that it is not our serving Jesus (self-confidence) but His serving us. Through this denial, the Lord Jesus shines as Prophet, Priest and King! | Ed Miller | 76Matthew_26_Peters_Denial.mp3 | Matthew 26:50-75 | |||||||
| 77 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 77) Chapter 26:57-27:31 - The Trial of Jesus | It is easy to get lost in a sea of facts concerning the trial of Jesus, so Ed approaches it topically. In this "darkest crime in human history" the trial was a stage set for great contrasts--the priest of earth stood before the Priest of heaven. The great message of the trial is that Christ is completely worthy of our trust. | Ed Miller | 77Matthew_26-27_The_Trial_Of_Jesus.mp3 | Matthew 26:57-27:31 | |||||||
| 78 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 78) Chapters 26-27 - Who Killed Jesus? | Ed runs through the cast of "characters" who all had a hand in killing the Lord Jesus Christ. In a very practical way, our sins were represented by the various men or groups, such as Judas, the Roman soldiers, and the priests. Ultimately though it was the Father who killed Christ through the agencies of men and devils to accomplish His glorious work of redemption for all mankind! | Ed Miller | 78Matthew_26-28_Who_Killed_Jesus.mp3 | Matthew 26-27 | |||||||
| 79 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 79) Chapter 27:45-56 - Calvary Means Miracles | Ed shares on "the level of earth" and spiritual principles behind the four miracles of Calvary: supernatural darkness, the torn veil, the earthquake, and the dead saints raised. The great message of the torn veil beckons even the greatest sinner to come on in! Our lives raised up from the deadness of sin is our greatest testimony to the world. | Ed Miller | 79Matthew_27_Miracle_Of_The_Calvary.mp3 | Matthew 27:45-56 | |||||||
| 80 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 80) Chapter 27:27-50 - The Crucifixion | Jesus' crucifixion was different from all others in that His was triumphant; He gave His life up. All of the taunts of the enemy were turned into testimonies. The worst of the suffering was not the physical or mental anguish but the crushing from His Father--but for the joy of redeeming you and I He endured it all! | Ed Miller | 80Matthew_27_The_Crucification.mp3 | Matthew 27:27-50 | |||||||
| 81 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 81) Chapter 27:46-60 - 4 Transition Lessons | Ed picks out four transition lessons between the cross and the resurrection. The principle of Simon the Cyrenian carrying the cross is being identified with Jesus in rejection. The cry of Jesus "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me" is the highest rejection there can ever be. What glorious things happen when secret disciples (Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus) finally go public? | Ed Miller | 81Matthew_27.mp3 | Matthew 27:46-60 | |||||||
| 82 | New Testament Books | Gospels | Matthew | (Matthew 82) Chapter 28 - The Resurrection and the Great Commission | The last chapter of Matthew's Gospel presents the risen Lord Jesus, missionary King of all the earth. The authority of Jesus is the foundation and starting point of all missions. The way to get moving is present tense obedience and having a passion for Christ. | Ed Miller | 82Matthew_28_The_Resurrection_And_The_Great_Commision.mp3 | Matthew 28 |
