Sign Posts | Matthew 26: 1-30 | March 29, 2026

This episode of the Mill City Church podcast, titled 'Sign Posts,' explores Matthew 26:1-30 during Holy Week, emphasizing the profound significance of Jesus' final days leading to His crucifixion. The preacher reflects on how divine orchestration has brought the congregation to this pivotal moment after nearly three and a half years of studying Matthew, underscoring that the cross is the center of history. He unpacks key Old Testament signs—such as the Passover, the prophecy of the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem, and the suffering servant in Isaiah—that point to Jesus’ identity and mission. A powerful contrast is drawn between Mary’s extravagant anointing of Jesus with expensive perfume, seen as a preparation for burial, and Judas’ betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, highlighting the divergent values placed on Jesus’ worth. The sermon also delves into the Last Supper, the institution of communion, and Jesus’ act of washing His disciples’ feet as a model of humble service. The message calls believers to approach communion with reverence, repentance, and remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice, while affirming God’s grace toward all, even the most broken.
