The One Who Already Knows (Richard Pemberton)

About this episode

Richard Pemberton discusses how Jesus is aware of our needs and worries through the story in Matthew 17.

In this message, Richard unpacks the often-overlooked story in Matthew 17 where Peter encounters Jesus over a simple tax question, and discovers that Jesus is just as glorious in ordinary conversations as he is on the mountain. Through the miracle of the coin in the fish, Richard reveals that Jesus already knows what we're worried about before we ask, sees opportunities where we see problems, and has already provided what we need before we even recognise the need exists. As you listen, be encouraged that the things occupying your thoughts this week have not caught Jesus off guard—he is already at work, already aware, and already providing.
