Each week at Chi Alpha we record our mes­sages in video and in MP3 for­mat, and we also main­tain a ser­mon archive (which includes instruc­tions on receiv­ing our ser­mons as a pod­cast). If you’d like to come visit us next week, you can learn when and where we meet.

This week (4/5/2006) we talk about three vignettes from Matthew 9. In the sto­ries, the experts decide that Jesus is immoral (a blas­phe­mer), ridicu­lous (they laugh at him), and that there must be another expla­na­tion for his mir­a­cles (he is a pawn of Satan).

These are the same rea­sons that many mis­trust Jesus today–he is a ridicu­lous fig­ure of dubi­ous moral­ity and there is surely some other expla­na­tion for his pur­ported mir­a­cles. But in each story, a per­son or a small group of peo­ple demon­strated their faith by ask­ing Jesus for help and they learn that hehas the power to bring for­give­ness, health, life, and free­dom. He did it then and He can do it now.
