Can you tell the difference between wheat and weeds before they grow?

In Matthew 13, Jesus teaches that only God truly sees the heart. While people are quick to judge, God is patient, gracious, and still at work beneath the surface.

What happens when following rules becomes more important than following Jesus?

In this conversation through Matthew 12, Pastor Joby Martin and the Deepen team unpack the difference between religion and the gospel. Legalism says God will love you if you change. The gospel says God changes you because He loves you.

Jesus confronts the Pharisees for valuing rules over people, sacrifice over mercy, and performance over relationship with God. This episode dives into spiritual pride, fear, control, repentance, and the freedom found in the grace of Jesus.

John the Baptist boldly declared Jesus as the Messiah, but later, sitting in prison, he wrestled with doubt. What do you do when following Jesus does not go the way you expected?

In this conversation through Matthew 11, we see that doubt does not disqualify your faith. It invites you to bring your questions to Jesus. Even in suffering and uncertainty, He is still who He says He is.

Jesus does not promise an easy life. He offers something better, Himself.

Jesus didn’t just save you from your sin, He sent you into the harvest. In Matthew 9-10, Jesus declares the gospel, demonstrates His power through miracles, and then calls His followers to go. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Faith isn’t just believing facts about Jesus, it’s trusting Him enough to move. We are called to pray earnestly, live boldly, and step into the work God has placed in front of us. Following Jesus means more than learning what He taught. It means doing what He did.

What does real faith actually look like?

In Matthew 9, we see two desperate people come to Jesus, not with pride or perfection, but with need. A father believing for his daughter. A woman reaching in faith after years of suffering. And Jesus meets both of them right there.

This message reminds us that it’s not about how much faith you have, but where you place it. When your need outweighs your ego, you’ll finally surrender.

Desperation isn’t weakness, it’s the starting point of faith. Because it’s not over until Jesus says it’s over.
