Daniel Samms

Dan Samms lives his life hoping that when he dies his obituary looks something like this: “Daniel Samms, husband to Christy, father to Micah, Hannah, and Jayna, and pastor to a local underground church died Friday when authorities executed him for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in defiance to anti-proselytization mandates. He was known for loving God and loving people and seemed to operate on a strength not his own. He made disciples of Jesus and taught them how to make other disciples. He hated tyranny, loved guns, and liked woodwork. He loved only one woman and spent every day trying to impress her and glorify God. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all follow Christ. Services will be held at an undisclosed location due to government sanctions.”

Matthew 23 | Seven Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees

Jesus has proven Himself to be the perfect Man, bearing the title Son of Man, the perfect Messiah, bearing the title Son of David, and the perfect Prophet, Priest, and King. The Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes have challenged Jesus to their own detriment. The overarching message of Jesus’ sermons is that no mere human is righteous enough to enter the Kingdom. Only Jesus has perfectly obeyed the law. It is only by His atoning death and resurrection that we may by faith receive the gift of His righteousness. In Matthew 23, Jesus proclaims woes on the Pharisees for following the signs (phylacteries, fringes, tithing, etc.) while neglecting genuine righteousness and faith. Notably, he said that the scribes and pharisees have not entered the kingdom and are “children of hell.” As we see, the way of the Pharisees is not merely an old model of faith; they are following a false religion and are facing judgment for killing the prophets of God.

Pastor Dan takes us through Matthew 23, explaining that faith in Christ is essential for salvation and the false religion of the Pharisees is going to be judged. Jesus provides further details about their judgment in relation to the destruction of the temple in the next Chapter (24).

Generational Warfare and the Kingdom of God | Daniel 2, Psalm 127-128, Titus 2

Despite what many claim, we don’t “lose down here.” Christ is King, and we are commanded to make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:18-20). His kingdom shall never cease, and it has been on the rise since the First Century. It is a ploy of our enemy to get us to think that we have no hope of victory in this season. God’s Kingdom triumphs by HIs power through the gospel. In this sermon, Pastor Daniel provides a biblical strategy for advancing the Kingdom of God from generation to generation.
