Bible Refresh

Does Jesus have any limits to his authority? How does faith bring healing? And the standoff between Jesus and the religious authority begins.

Matthew chapter 8 we get scenes of Jesus interacting with people of all types, be it healing, casting out demons, or just challenging them in their quest to follow Jesus. Really some good stuff in this chapter!

We finish the sermon on the mount and chapter 7 of Matthew. What kind of foundation are you building your house on?

light that is darkness, money vs God, anxiety and stress, logs and specks, there is so much goodness here.

Also should we despise money if we follow God?

Continuing with the Sermon on the Mount we look at some difficult teachings of Jesus, the most famous prayer in history, and motivations for good works and rewards.

Jesus confronts the law and teaches how it really needs to be fulfilled. Breaking down individual commands and going deeper with them, we get some of the most challenging instructions from Jesus yet. 

We begin the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' core teachings. Only got through the first 14 verses, but man it is such good stuff I could have gone two hours on 4 verses. 

Jesus is tempted, Jesus starts his ministry and the first thing he does is call two sets of brothers, then Jesus becomes known all over the place and starts attracting huge crowds.

Read through chapter 3 with me as we look at things that stand out. Different perspectives can help refresh the Bible for us, and stopping and looking familiar things can remind us how exciting it all really was. 

Chapter 2 of Matthew. God communicating to insiders and outsiders. Jesus fulfilling crazy prophecies, demonstrating being God and savior of the World, and some parallels with Moses.
