Gospel-Centered Apologetics- Lecture 2- The Danger of Over-Spiritualizing Faith

September 18, 2024 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Satan hates the image of God. Satan wants to destroy men, keep them from reproducing, and, if he fails at that, he wants to keep them from imagining God as they were created to do. One subtle little tactic that Satan has used over the past 200 years or so has been to redefine faith. […]

Matthew 17:19-23- Nothing Will Be Impossible for You

August 13, 2023 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Are you like me and some times feel weak, & ineffectual? We are not alone. On one occasion the disciples failed in casing out a demon, and they asked Jesus why. His response was both a rebuke and an encouragement. Matthew 17:20 “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if […]

Matthew 11:11-15 Understanding the Suffering Kingdom

July 11, 2021 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

John the Baptist was as great a man as any who had ever been born before him, but the LEAST in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. What a dramatic change! And beginning with the days of John the Baptist the Kingdom began suffering violence and violent men were taking it by force. […]

Matthew 4:5-7 The Temptation of the Greater Son (Part 2 of 3): Tempted to Tempt God

August 26, 2018 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Jesus stood against the lust of the flesh in temptation 1. Now in temptation 2 we see Satan test the ‘pride of life. Satan’s reasoning went something like this, ‘You believe you that your Father could keep you alive even if you never ate again? Ok, prove your faith in the Father. I am not […]

I Cor. 15:1-9 How Should We Share The Good News of the Resurrection: As Verifiable Fact or as Comforting Concept

April 16, 2017 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

How was the Gospel of Christ, and particularly the miracle of the resurrection, presented by believers in the 1st Century Church? We don’t have to guess; it is recorded for us throughout the epistles and in the book of Acts. Listen as Pastor Matt unpacks 1 Cor. 15:1-9 to show how that the concept of […]

Philippians 2:14- Grumbling and Disputing; How Much Am I Allowed And What Are They?

March 6, 2016 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Last week we saw the dangers of grumbling and disputing. Israel was brought out of Egypt only to fall in the wilderness because of their lack of faith; ‘they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel’ (Rom. 9:6)! Likewise, many are in the church masquerading as Christians when they lack saving faith. Grumbling […]

Hebrews 11- The Hall of Faith in a Culture of Unbelief_ Pastor David Province

July 5, 2015 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Faith is not an abstract idea. It has solid intellectual content, and true faith necessitates that we believe something so strongly that it changes our actions. Listen as Pastor David Province exhorts us from Hebrews 11 to believe the promises of God.
