161.

162. A final rebuke of false teachers - Part Five, Matthew 23.  Kununurra People's church, 29 September 2019.

177.  

178. Matthew 26 - Part One.  Kununurra People's church, 14 June 2020.  Matthew 26:1-5.  Jesus again says He will die soon.  The chief priests and Pharisees start plotting how and when that will occur.

179.  

180. Matthew 26 - Part Two.  Kununurra People's church, 12 July 2020.  Matthew 26:6-13 recounts the story of a woman anointing Jesus for burial before He had died.  This is story is nearly identical to the account in Mark 14:3-9, Luke 7:36-50 and John 12:1-12.  John 11:2 highlighted which points out the woman is Mary, brother of Lazarus.  Mary is contrasted to Judas who betrayed Jesus (Matt 26:14-16).  The infinite value of Jesus Christ is being demonstrated by this act of love.  We also see the broader contrast between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world.
