Study the Word

Pastor Thom Keller

Matthew 27:1-11 Part 1

August 30, 2024

It’s one thing to have regrets or feel remorse but true repentance involves the whole person. Though it begins in the mind and moves to the emotions it doesn’t end there! Today we’ll be considering the betrayal of Judas and what he does afterward. We’ll be reminded there’s a right response sin, and there’s a wrong one with tragic consequences. 

References: Matthew 27:1-11

A Study in the Book of Ruth
The book of Ruth is more than just a God ordained love story, although it is certainly that as well.  It reveals the extent of God’s kindness and grace. He accepted Ruth, once an outcast, into his chosen people, and went on to  honor her by  allowing King David and Jesus to be born of her lineage.  Pastor Thom explores the life of Ruth in his 13 message series entitled, Experience Hope in the Life of Ruth.  Request your copy today, on USB flash drive or CD, for a gift  of $25 or more.

We’ve titled today’s talk, “Jesus there’s something about that name!” Thom Keller plans on taking us to Matthew’s gospel – chapter twenty-six – and the trial of Jesus. This trial takes place in the court of the high Priest Caiaphas – who like all of us has to make a judgment about Jesus.

We’ve been looking at the trial of Jesus as recorded in the gospel of Matthew. Today we’ll look at how Jesus was convicted even though He did nothing wrong – a difficult task to say the least. What was presented in court was nothing more than hearsay or gossip. That’s what condemned Jesus. It puts the sin of gossip in a much different light. Let’s join pastor Thom as he addresses this issue.

Matthew chapter twenty-six records the arrest and trial of Jesus. It’s a fascinating record and perplexing to us… especially when you consider it was an unjust court seeking to convict the only one in history who was just and true.

To fight or to flee – these are powerful impulses we must grapple with in the face of conflict or the threat of danger. But there is also the option to stand and trust.   We’ll explore those options along with the challenges they bring today on Study The Word with Thom Keller.

Our Bible teacher, Pastor Thom Keller, is teaching from the Gospel of John. He is currently in chapters four and five, where Jesus performs two miraculous healings. The first involves a Nobleman, and his son who is deathly ill.

We thank God for our law enforcement and military as they protect us and our fellow citizens.  We live in a fallen world and it’s loving and just to do so. Yet this can be a challenge for us on a personal level. Today’s Study The Word will help us work through this issue.

Perhaps the best reason to pray, “Thy will be done” is because Jesus prayed it.    But do we really believe it’s a prayer of faith or does it reflect our doubt? Think that through with us today as we turn to Matthew chapter twenty-six.

Today’s teaching from the gospel of Matthew will remind us that if we surrender to God’s love we will never be disappointed.

To know our true value we need only look at the cross of Christ where out of His love Jesus died for us. You don’t sacrifice everything for someone you don’t care deeply about. For greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friends.  On today’s broadcast we’ll focus in on the last supper and the betrayal of Judas.  All of this is leading up to the cross. You’ll be reminded of how much you’re loved and valued by Jesus.

In a day when neither God nor man is rightly valued we lose our way in pursuit of the wrong things – making poor decisions. Today’s Study The Word with Thom Keller will help to remind us of the true worth of things.

About Study the Word

Study the Word is a radio ministry of Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Pennsylvania. It features the teaching ministry of pastor Thom Keller.  As we go verse by verse through the Scriptures, our hearts desire is to encourage you to not only Study the Word, but seek to follow God and obey His Word.

About Pastor Thom Keller

Thom began teaching an inner-city Bible study in 1995. That love of teaching God’s word eventually led to the formation of Calvary Chapel Lebanon in October, 2001, with about 50 people meeting in an old hardware store. Our church ministry and philosophy centers on teaching God’s word chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Prior to pastoring, Thom was president and general manager of Keller Brothers Ford, a third-generation family business that began in 1921.  After 8 years of bi-vocational ministry, in 2009, Thom sold the business and became a full-time pastor.

Thom and his wife, Sue, live near Schaefferstown. Thom and Sue enjoy snow skiing, mountain biking and motorcycle rides.  Thom has often said that he loves performing weddings because he loves being married!

Ted, pictured above is Sue’s brother who has lived with Thom and Sue since 2001.

“It has been an absolute joy to see the changes God is bringing about in the lives of individuals, marriages and families at Calvary Chapel. God’s word does not return void!”

Currently we have worship services Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM at our church located at 740 Willow St.  Please introduce yourself when you stop by!
