Matthew 18:6-9 is about scandals, stumbling stones (oops!) and sin. The King is very serious about righteousness in the kingdom community. And about protecting His people from unrighteousness. Jesus clearly warns against stumbling others. We are instead to look out for one another.

#115 Oops KINGDOM101 26 May 2021

Is Matthew 22:15-22 just about money and taxes? Or is there something more than meets the eye? Trust Jesus to turn a malicious trap into another teaching moment. It is an object lesson about ownership from the image and inscription on a Roman coin. A lesson for now. And also for what is to come at the end of the age.

#132 Return To Rightful Owner KINGDOM101 26 Oct 2022

In Matthew 22:23-33, the Sadducees attempt to show that the resurrection is a ridiculous idea. But is it?
What happens when we die? Is the end really the end? What if we think it is the end but it is not the end? Is there life after death? If so, how should we live before we die?

#133 The End KINGDOM101 30 November 2022

Matthew 22:34-40 records the third round of questioning against the Jesus. However, unlike the previous two, Jesus' answer was totally consistent with the Pharisees' position about the greatest commandment. That said, agreement does not necessarily mean alignment. This teaching considers what it truly means to love God and love others so that we do not merely agree but also fully align with Jesus our King.

#134 Agreeing & Aligning To Love KINGDOM101 25 Jan 2023

In Matthew 22:41-46, Jesus asks His question and redirects everyone back to the main issue – Christ.The Pharisees knew the Scriptures extremely well. But when it came to acknowledging Jesus as the Christ, that was a totally different matter.  Right answers may earn full marks but still not produce the right response. Henson shares pertinent pointers for personal processing.

#135 Full Marks KINGDOM101 22 Feb 2023

Jesus has many things to say about kingdom leadership; as well as to those who lead His kingdom people. For leaders, Matthew 23 must be the least favourite chapter and the hardest to stomach. That said, in Matthew 23:1-12, there is much to learn from the mistakes of the scribes and Pharisees so we know what to do – or as we will see from this teaching – what to do not do.

#136 Do Not Do KINGDOM101 22 March 2023

Would a loving and gracious Jesus pronounce a series of woes upon the scribes and Pharisees? Well, that was exactly what He did in Matthew 23:13-36. He had absolutely no choice but to warn them because things had already gone from bad to worse. And Jesus did what He did because He was loving and gracious. Henson takes us through the seven woes and shares seven reminders for kingdom leaders and people.

#137 From Bad To Woes KINGDOM101 26 April 2023

If your heart has ever ached for a loved one to know or return to the Lord, you will resonate deeply with the heart cry of Jesus in Matthew 23:37-39. As a hen gathers her chicks, the King longs to take His people under His wings, to have each one rightly aligned with Him. Sadly, not everyone wants what Jesus wants. Our personal choices today will determine how we finally greet Him when He comes again.

#138 Alignment Chicks KINGDOM101 24 May 2023

Matthew 24:1-3 is about Jesus' prediction of the destruction of the temple, prompting the disciples' question about His coming. Although His disciples marvelled at the temple buildings, Jesus was not impressed at all. Reduced to just religion and rituals, the temple sorely missed God's original intent and the purposes of the kingdom. This teaching gets into some serious temple talk and ends with five key points for the Church as the God's temple today.

#139 Temple Talk KINGDOM101 28 June 2023

When it comes to the topic of the end times – eschatology – Matthew 24:3-14 is one of the go-to passages, as well as the proof text, that Jesus is coming very soon. Was that the Lord’s intent? Context will reveal that the emphasis is more on what to expect while expecting His return. And what Jesus expects of all who are expecting. Henson reviews the eschatological setting and what is expected of disciples as we expect the end.

#140 Expecting & Expected KINGDOM101 26 July 2023

Christians generally agree that Jesus is coming back. But not everyone holds the same view of how the events leading up to His return may unfold. Or when. There are just so many different interpretations, theories and positions. Take heart. There is no need to be distracted, confused or fearful. In Matthew 24:15-31, Jesus shows us what we should be looking out for.

#141 See See See KINGDOM101 23 Aug 2023

In Matthew 24:32-36, Jesus wraps up His reply with a statement about summer. More accurately, how to know when summer is approaching. Or shall we say … when it gets sort of summery? Guess that makes the parable of the fig tree a summary statement.

#142 Summery Statement KINGDOM101 27 September 2023

In Matthew 24:36-44, when Jesus said that “no one knows”, what exactly did He mean? Although clearly communicated, this has caused considerable confusion within the Body of Christ. For some, it’s a closed case. For others, it’s a clue. Careful. That in end-time discussions about knowing or not knowing, we do not end up missing what all must know.

#143 All Must Know KINGDOM101 25 October 2023

So much has been said about the return of Jesus. What do all these  mean to you? Is it all just nice-to-know information to you? Or do you have a Return Mindset – a mind set on the return of Jesus? Drawing from the parable in Matthew 24:45-51, Henson shares four reasons why having such a mindset is absolutely critical.

#144 Return Mindset KINGDOM101 22 November 2023

Many have tried to decipher the Parable of the 10 Virgins, applying different interpretations and attaching different meanings to the elements of this parable. What if that was not Jesus' intent at all? And it is really much simpler than what we make it out to be? That said, simple does not mean easy. Henson notes five reminders and draws five pertinent implications from five wise and five foolish virgins.

#145 High Five Low Five KINGDOM101 24 Jan 2024

We know we have to wait for Jesus’ return. But what do we do while waiting? Through the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus provides what might be the clearest directions on how to be ready and prepared. Let those who have ears hear what Jesus is looking for when He returns to settle accounts. May we be found not just desiring but truly deserving of the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

#146 Working While Waiting KINGDOM101 28 Feb 2024

Jesus’ final teaching about the separation of the sheep and the goats is easy to read but not quite as easy to understand or to accept. Henson tackles some tough questions in Matthew 25:31-46. Who are the nations? Who are the brethren? Who are the ones being separated? Who is Jesus really referring to?

#147 Separated KINGDOM101 27 March 2024

Something was cooking in the plots and plans of the religious leaders and it sure didn’t look good for Jesus. In Matthew 26:1-5, the Son of Man would be served a curved ball. He saw it coming, yet stepped up to the plate and moved purposefully on His kingdom assignment. Would you?

#148 Plots & Plans KINGDOM101 24 April 2024

Listen to Henson Lim, founder of Archippus Awakening, share the heartbeat of this new ministry.

KINGDOM101 Intro Session Part 1: 02 Feb 2015

First session of KINGDOM101. Henson Lim provides an introduction and overview of the Gospel of Matthew, drawing implications and lessons with kingdom perspectives.

#1 Meet Matt KINGDOM101 18 Mar 2015

In this teaching, be challenged to understand what biblical worship really is, beyond music and song. Henson Lim explores the largely misunderstood topic of WORSHIP through Matt 2:1-12 and presents seven aspects for practical application and living.

#6 Where's the Band? KINGDOM101 29 Apr 2015

From Matt 2:13-15, Henson explores Joseph's 'wake up call' and how that contributes to a much larger prophetic move of God in Jesus. This results in a 'take out call' that leads to a 'sent out call'. A powerful message that challenges every believer to respond to his or her own wake call and be a part of what God is doing in these days.

#7 Wake Up Call KINGDOM101 6 May 2015

Matthew 9:18-26 records two miracles, demonstrating Jesus' authority over death and disease. Without doubt, the raising of the 12 year old girl was a powerful event! Yet, somehow, it is the woman with the issue of blood that steals the scene. Juxtaposed against Jairus, she enables us to better examine and appreciate the details surrounding both stories in this scene. Through it all, Jesus remains centrestage and receives all the glory!

#71 Scene Stealer KINGDOM101 7 Feb 2018

Starting a new section, Henson provides an overview of the five discourses in Matthew, and the KINGDO101 expository journey thus far. What does it mean to be on Team Jesus? Matthew 10:1-6 outlines how disciples are to be aligned with Jesus, that we may be authorised by Jesus as we are appointed by Jesus and assigned for Jesus. In this teaching, Henson challenges believers to go beyond being good church members, to become faithful disciples on kingdom assignment for the king.

#74 Team Jesus KINGDOM101 16 May 2018

Matthew 10:16-25 addresses an aspect of discipleship that we would rather ignore – persecution. And yet, these are the words of Jesus our King and Master, our Shepherd who prepares His sheep to be sent out amongst wolves! Be aware of the groups of people from which disciples may face possible challenge and persecution. Learn how we are to respond and why this is expected of those who consider themselves followers of Jesus Christ.

#76 Disciplesheep KINGDOM101 4 July 2018

Immediately after teaching about how the kingdom operates through the kingdom parables, in Matt 13:53-58, Matthew records the rejection of Jesus in his own hometown. From this, we learn that kingdom assignments are prophetic in nature. Not surprising. After all, the Body of Christ is a prophetic kingdom community. Henson utilises this opportunity to highlight the prophetic ministry and challenge every believer: Are you ready to be a prophet?

#99 Who Wants To Be A Prophet? KINGDOM101 18 Dec 2019

When the prophetic voice calls for repentance and righteousness, there is every possibility that it will be rejected and even removed. Matthew 14:1-12 describes the confrontation between John the Baptist and Herod Antipas, resulting in the forerunner's execution. Listen to this teaching to learn how, even through his death, John points to and hands over to Jesus. The kingdom continues to advance. The prophetic voice rings on.

#100 Head To Head KINGDOM101 22 Jan 2020

Clearly, the feeding miracle of Matthew 14:13-21 declares Jesus as the Messiah. But what does it mean for us who are disciples and kingdom subjects? Who me? Yes you! Henson draws seven kingdom principles to guide all who are moving purposefully on kingdom assignments.

#101 Who Me? Yes You! KINGDOM101 19 Feb 2020

It's always easier to blame something or someone for getting in the way. Drawing from Matthew 16:21-27, learning from Peter's rebuke of Jesus, this teaching will reveal that the "I" in each of us is usually the barrier that keeps us from kingdom purposes and assignments.

#110 I Got In The Way KINGDOM101 18 November 2020

Matthew 16:28 - 7:13 records the Transfiguration of Jesus. Up on the peak, the disciples were given a sneak peek – a glimpse – of the glory of the Christ and His kingdom. More than just a high point, how are we to respond to the revelations and insights the Lord reveals to us from time to time? Henson draws practical application for the spiritual walk and kingdom assignments.

#111 Sneak Peak KINGDOM101 16 December 2020

Henson Lim is the founder of Archippus Awakening, a ministry dedicated to the awakening of the saints to know and fulfil their God-given kingdom assignments.
