The Times, They are A-Changin'
Matthew 9:14-17
May 5, 2024
“We ain’t here anymore”
Change is all around us
To make changes or resist changes?
A QUESTION FOR JESUS
Jesus’ puzzling behavior
Wedding guests and the bridegroom
Parables of unshrunk cloth and old wineskins
Changes the New Covenant brings
NOT ALL CHANGE IS GOOD
We should be anchored to the eternal truth of the Bible
Technology changes are neutral
Doctrinal changes can pose a threat to the Church
False teachings we need to reject (John 14:6; 1 Timothy 4:16)
SOME CHANGES ARE GOOD
Our methods should change to reach a changing world (1 Corinthians 9:22b-23a)
We should seek to be “flexible”
May we be willing to use “new wineskins” as we remain anchored to the eternal truth of God’s Word
