Matthew - Week 14

Pastor Marshall Ochs | April 4, 2021

Today is Resurrection Day; praise Jesus! In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Matthew 17 about the struggle of suffering and faith. The early church disciples heard Jesus teach about His resurrection many times, but none of them were the first to the empty tomb on Easter Sunday. Even after Mary told them about the resurrection, many still did not believe. They were afraid of suffering and had little faith that Jesus was faithful. Suffering and doubt are two struggles that modern disciples wrestle with, and this message addresses those issues.
