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…

Matthew 8 – Jesus Has Authority!

Jesus answered a leper’s prayer to be made clean, and told him to obey the law of Moses. Jesus healed the servant of a faith-filled centurion. Jesus taught that Gentiles will recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but “sons of the kingdom” [unbelieving Jews] will be thrown out into the darkness. Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law. Jesus cast out demons and healed the sick to fulfill the Bible. Jesus said, “Follow me, let the dead bury their own dead.”…

Matthew 7 – Sermon on the Mount, Part 3

Take the log out of your eye so you can see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s. Don’t give dogs what is holy, or throw pearls before swine, lest they trample them and attack you. Your Father in heaven gives good things to those who ask – ask, seek, knock. Do to others what you would have them do to you. Beware of false prophets who look like sheep, but are wolves. Every tree that doesn’t bear…

Matthew 6 – Sermon on the Mount, Part 2

Practice righteousness and give in secret so your Father in heaven who sees in secret will reward you. Pray in secret, and you Father who sees in secret will reward you. Don’t pray empty phrases, but pray how Jesus teaches in the “Lord’s Prayer”. Fast in secret so your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Store up treasure in heaven. Serve God, not money. Don’t be anxious, only seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will…

Matthew 5 – Sermon on the Mount, Part 1

Jesus taught on a mountain. He taught about who are blessed and He taught the promises of the kingdom of heaven for those who are blessed: comfort, receiving mercy, and seeing God. Christians are salt and light that give glory to God. Jesus fulfilled the Law and Prophets, and His people need a greater righteousness than the Scribes and Pharisees. If we are angry with a brother we are liable to God’s judgment. A look of lust is adultery in…

Matthew 4 – The Temptation, Preached, Called

Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness and tempted by the devil. Three times the devil tried to twist the Bible to lure Jesus away from going to the cross, three times Jesus countered with a right understanding of the Bible. In fulfillment of the Bible Jesus withdrew to Zebulun after hearing John the Baptist was arrested. Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus calls Simon, Andrew, James & John. And…

Matthew 3 – John the Baptist, Jesus’ Baptism

In fulfillment of the Bible John the Baptist preached, “repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Those whom John baptized [immersed] confessed their sins. He preached to the Pharisees and Sadducees to bear fruit in keeping with repentance, don’t hope in your ancestry. One will come who will baptize with the Holy Spirit. Jesus was baptized to fulfill righteousness, as He came up from the water, the heavens opened, the Spirit of God descended like a dove, and…


Matthew 2 – The King as a Refugee

Wise men visited from the east bringing three gifts to the King of the Jews. Herod and Jerusalem trembled, and the chief priests and scribes said the Bible said the Christ [Messiah] was to be born in Bethlehem of Judea. They went to the house and saw Mary and Jesus and they fell down and worshiped Him. An angel told Joseph to take his family to Egypt to fulfill the Bible, and because Herod tried to kill all the children…

Matthew 1 – Jesus’ Genealogy

14 generations Abraham to David – 14 generations David to Josiah (during the deportation to Babylon) – 14 generations Jeconiah (after the deportation to Babylon) to Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who was called Christ [Messiah]. Mary was pregnant, and an angel told Joseph to wed her. The child was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The angel said to name the child Jesus [salvation or deliverance] for He will save his people from their sins…
