Matthew 13:1-9 and 17-23- The Parable of the Sower: Rightly Understanding Ministerial ‘Success’

February 6, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

In the Parable of the Sower Jesus is encouraging caution in our dealings with crowds and new people. When there is excitement & large numbers accompanying our ministries our excitement can hamper our discernment. There is a temptation to assume than every attendee, and professing convert is genuine but Jesus informs the disciples of four […]

Matthew 12:43-45 Reforming for the Worse

January 2, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

The Bible is clear; spiritual warfare is real, and demons are real. We are not just in a battle against the flesh, but against spiritual powers and spiritual entities.

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 […]

Grumbling, Disputing, and Running in Vain_ Philippians 2:14-16

February 28, 2016 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

What is the connection between God working in us both to will and to do according to His own good pleasure and the elimination of grumbling and disputing from our lives? Why does Paul see this as so important that he sees the logical implication of habitual grumbling and disputing as evidence that all his […]
