Of Fern Seeds and Elephants | 6.25.23

A sermon from Matthew 16:1-4

1. A dangerous combination
2. An inadequate endeavor
3. A colossal affirmation

Gospel Connection

Two signs of God’s love for all humanity have been revealed 2,000 years ago. The first is Jesus coming to earth as a baby. Divinity took on flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). The second sign is Jesus’ crucifixion, death, and resurrection. Jesus is our advocate as the satisfaction for sins, once for all (1 John 2:1-2). Another sign will not make any difference in a person’s willingness to believe in Jesus.

Application

• What has God done in your life that you can use as a sign to others?
• How will you show your faith in Jesus this week that He is the Savior for your sins?

Prayer

You, eternal God, are worthy of my praise, adoration, and obedience because of who You are. I choose to follow You based on Your faithfulness, love, mercy, and forgiveness. Thank You for giving me eternal life in Jesus, Your only Son.
