Matthew 18 – Greatest is like a Child, Cut Off What Keeps You From God, God Will Not Lose His Sheep, Church Discipline, Forgive Your Brother 77 Times, God Will Not Forgive Those Who Don’t Forgive

Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said we need to be humble like a child. If we receive a child like this then we receive Jesus. If we cause little ones not to believe in Jesus, it would better if we had a millstone hung around our neck and drowned in the sea. If your hand, foot, or eye causes you to sin, cut it off. It’s better to enter life crippled than with two hands…

Matthew 17 – Transfiguration, Jesus Heals Because of Little Faith, Foretelling of His Death & Resurrection, Paying Taxes

Jesus took Peter, James and John with Him up a high mountain by themselves. Jesus was transfigured – face shone like the sun, clothes white as light. Moses and Elijah appeared talking with Jesus.Peter offered hospitality and a bright cloud overshadowed them, and they heard, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” The disciples fell on their faces terrified. Jesus said, “Rise, have no fear,” and they saw Jesus only. Jesus told them…


Matthew 16 – Sign of Jonah, Beware of False Teaching, Peter Confesses Christ, Hell Won’t Conquer the Church, Jesus’ Coming Death and Resurrection, Suffer for Jesus

Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus asking for a sign. Jesus says an evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but the only sign given is the sign of Jonah. He left them. The disciples forgot bread, Jesus warned them to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. They misunderstood and Jesus said they had little faith, He can provide bread, beware of false teaching. People were asking who Jesus is, Peter said, “You are the Christ,…

Matthew 15 – Hearts are Defiled, Canaanite Woman, Jesus Heals, Jesus Feeds Over 4,000

The Pharisees and scribes came from Jerusalem and asked why the disciples broke with the traditions of the elders – washing hands. Jesus asked why they break God’s commandment for their tradition. He applied Isaiah 29:13 to them. What defiles people is not what they eat, but what comes out of their mouth as the overflow of their heart: evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and slander – not washing hands. Jesus went to Tyre and Sidon. A…

Matthew 14 – Death of John the Baptist, Feeding 5,000, Walking on Water, Healing the Sick

Herod heard of Jesus and he told his servants it was John the Baptist, they thought he was raised from the dead. For, he had arrested John because Herod unlawfully took his brother (Philip’s) wife, Herodias. Because John was a prophet and the people liked him Herod couldn’t kill him, so he put him in jail. Herodias’ daughter pleased Herod before the people at His birthday celebration and he said she could have whatever she wanted. At the urging of…

Matthew 13 – 8 Parables of the Kingdom, Prophet Without Honor in His Hometown

Jesus went out and large crowds gathered, so he got in a boat and sat to teach the crowd as it stood on shore. (1) The Sower – A sower sowed seed on (a) the path – birds came and took it (b) rocky ground – they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep, but the sun scorched them because they had no root, they withered (c) among thorns – the thorns choked them (d) good ground – produced  crop. Anyone who has ears should listen! The parables are the secrets of the…

Matthew 12 – Lord of the Sabbath, Those Who Gather with Jesus will be Forgiven, Trees Are Known by Their Fruit, Jesus Is Greater than Jonah & Solomon, This Generation is like a man Who’s Unclean Spirit that was cast out Returned back with 7 More, Jesus’ Family are those Who Do the Will of God the Father

Jesus passed through the fields on the Sabbath. They were hungry and picked grain, the Pharisees saw and accused them of breaking the law, Jesus reminded them of when David ate the sacred bread, and that when the priests violate the Sabbath by working in the temple on the Sabbath, they are innocent. Jesus said He’s greater than the temple, the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. Jesus entered their synagogue and healed a paralyzed man on the Sabbath…

Matthew 11 – Jesus is the One to Whom John the Baptist Pointed 

After Jesus gave orders to the 12 disciples he went to preach and teach in the disciples’ towns. John the Baptist heard from prison about what Jesus was doing, so he sent a message and asked if He is the one that was to come. Jesus said, “the blind see, the lame walk, and those with skin diseases are healed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news. If anyone is not offended because of…

Matthew 10 – 12 Disciples Sent out, Persecutions Predicted 

Jesus gave His 12 disciples authority to drive out unclean spirits, disease and sickness. Here are the names of the 12 apostles: (1) Simon/Peter (2) Andrew (Peter’s brother) (3) James (son of Zebedee)(4) John (James’ brother) (5) Philip (6) Bartholomew (7) Thomas (8) Matthew (the tax collector)(9) James (son of Alphaeus) (10) Thaddaeus (11) Simon (the zealot) (12) Judas Iscariot (who betrayed Jesus). Jesus sent them out with instructions to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel announcing, “The kingdom of heaven has come near.” Also, to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, and…

Matthew 9 – Jesus Heals, Forgives sin, Came for Sinners, Casts out Demons, Taught & Proclaimed the Gospel

Jesus forgives a man’s sin and paralysis. Jesus reads minds. Jesus called Matthew from the tax-booth to follow Him. Jesus came for the sick, the sinners, not the righteous. The new wine of the gospel, and the unshrunk patch of the gospel does not fit in the confines of legalistic Judaic pharisaism. Jesus heals a woman’s discharge of blood (by faith alone) and brings a girl back from the dead. Jesus heals two blind men (by faith alone). Jesus heals…
