Jesus and Religious Leaders - A Clash of Tradition and Truth As we continue Following The Savior's Footsteps on The Gospel Trail, we now find ourselves at a point where Jesus confronts the religious leaders of His day—the Pharisees. These were men who knew the law, who practiced strict religious traditions, and who believed they were the gatekeepers of righteousness. Yet, in their zeal for religious rules, they missed the heart of God’s message and rejected the very Messiah they had been waiting for.

The Pharisees still exist today—those who put religious traditions and self-righteousness above the heart of the gospel. Perhaps you’ve encountered them. Perhaps, like Jesus, you’ve faced their judgment and criticism. This passage reveals that Jesus didn’t shy away from confronting hypocrisy, and neither should we.

In Matthew 12, Jesus shows us that true righteousness isn’t about outward performance—it’s about the condition of the heart. He offers us freedom from the bondage of legalism and calls us to a life centered on His truth, not empty tradition.

“From the first breath in Eden to the final ‘Amen’ in Revelation, one voice has never stopped calling...”

“Follow Me.”

Welcome, friends — I’m Pastor Kevin, and this is The Gospel Trail, where we journey through God’s Word with open hearts and listening ears.

This morning, I woke up stirred by the Spirit, and I wrote this down: “The Invitation of ‘Follow Me’ — from Genesis to Revelation.” It’s not just a theme. It’s the heartbeat of Scripture. It’s God Himself reaching toward us, again and again, offering something no world, no system, no striving can ever provide:

The water of life.

In Revelation 22:17, we read:

"The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let the one who hears say, 'Come!' Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s message has never changed — and today, He’s still inviting you.

So wherever you are… walking strong, wandering far, or weary and thirsty… this episode is for you.

Let’s take that journey. Let’s answer the call.

Let’s walk the Gospel Trail.

#TheGospelTrail #TheInvitation #FollowMe

In Matthew 9, we witness the raw compassion and undeniable power of Jesus Christ. A paralyzed man is lowered through a roof… and Jesus not only heals his body, He forgives his sins. Religious minds were stunned—but heaven rejoiced.

Then, in just two words, Jesus rewrites a man’s entire future:
“Follow Me.”
That call still echoes today.

Friend, when Jesus speaks, it’s not just words—it’s life. A whole book gets written in your soul. But it requires something from you: action. obedience. surrender.

Join Rev Kev and Pastor Sandy as we follow the footsteps of Jesus—the One who heals needs and calls sinners to walk the Gospel Trail.

Rev Kev and Pastor Sandy are back on The Gospel Trail, diving into the powerful close of Matthew Chapter 8.

This episode isn’t just a Bible study—it’s a wake-up call. We’re talking about a paralyzed man, a herd of swine, and demon-oppressed people—all in one dramatic, life-altering day.

But here’s the real question: Are we inoculated or cured?

Join us as we unpack the compassion and power of Christ, and what it means for your walk today.

Hit play and walk The Gospel Trail with us.

The Gospel Trail: Healing and Authority in Matthew 8–9

In this episode of The Gospel Trail, we pause at a defining moment in Jesus’ ministry—His healing of the sick, the oppressed, and the outcast. Walking through Matthew chapters 8 and 9, we witness raw encounters between human need and divine power. Each person who comes to Jesus in faith leaves changed.

Pastor Sandy, a graduate of the John G. Lake School of Ministry, unpacks what these miracles mean today and how they reflect Christ’s enduring authority to heal. We’ll also look at the global rise of Christianity—marked by baptisms, conversions, and a renewed hunger among young adults for churches grounded in Scripture and spiritual power.

This is more than history. It’s a call to faith, healing, and truth.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Today, we stand in awe of the One who opened His mouth at the Sermon on The Mount —Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the King of Kings, the Almighty in human flesh. When we read, “He opened His mouth and taught them,” we must pause and marvel at who this “He” truly is. This is no ordinary teacher. This is no mere man. This is God Himself, robed in humanity, wielding infinite power, yet choosing to walk among us in humility, love, and sacrifice.

Text: Matthew 5:2 – “Then He opened His mouth and taught them…”
