Matthew: The King and His Kingdom
Aug 25, 2024 | Matt McAlvey
Christianity is for the Weak and Needy
The sermon explores Jesus's ministry among the Gentiles, emphasizing His compassion and care for both the physically and spiritually needy. It draws parallels between Jesus’ miraculous feeding of the 4,000 and His earlier feeding of the 5,000, highlighting that while the two events are similar, the audiences are different—one Jewish and the other Gentile. This distinction underscores that Jesus’ mission extends beyond the Jewish people to include all nations. The sermon concludes with a call for believers to embody Jesus' compassion in their own lives, recognizing that caring for the needy is a shared responsibility for all followers of Christ.
