    Lesson 9

    The first seven Beatitudes illustrate the spiritual journey from the time a man realizes he’s lost to the time he begins to develop signs of Christlikeness. We saw first of all that it begins with being "poor in spirit." To be "poor in spirit" means to acknowledge our total spiritual poverty ...read more

    Lesson 11

    God has a purpose for this world that involves US. It was His purpose to save us, and He did, and it is also His purpose to use us and He will. Just as we are called to be salt in a decaying world, we are also called to be light in a darkened world. I. A REALITY THAT IS INESCAPABLE "Ye are ...read more

    Lesson 12

    The use of the terms "the law" and "the prophets" indicates that what the Lord is speaking of in these verses is the whole of the Old Testament. In Luke 24:44 Jesus said, "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in ...read more

    Lesson 13

    To this point in the Lord’s sermon He has taken us through the Beatitudes where we learned that genuine salvation begins when we realize our poorness of spirit and spiritual bankruptcy before God. At that point we begin to mourn over our sinfulness. This mourning leads to a meek humbling of one’s ...read more

    Lesson 14

    Once again we need to be reminded that the Lord is in no way altering or changing the teaching of the Old Testament. It is not the Law per se that is under consideration, but the carnal interpretation of it made by the Pharisees. I. A DISCIPLINE THAT IS DECEITFUL A. The Pharisees Insisted on ...read more

    Lesson 15

    Even though the subject of divorce is a controversial one, and one that carries with it a great deal of emotion, it is not one on which the Bible is silent. Both the Old and New Testaments mention the subject on various occasions, but putting all the pieces together in hopes of seeing the whole ...read more

    Lesson 16

    Years ago children, in an effort to convince their friends that they were really serious about a matter, used to make an oath of sorts. The oath was something similar to, "Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." When that "cross my heart" vow was taken, the only legal way to ...read more

    The apostle Paul, writing to the church in Colosse said, "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:" (Colossians ...read more

    Lesson 18

    This lesson is more or less a continuation of the previous one. In verses 38-42 we learned what we are not supposed to do when we’ve been mistreated by others. That is, we are not to retaliate in like kind. The Biblical principle of an "eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" was not given to ...read more

    Lesson 19

    As we move into the sixth chapter of Matthew, Jesus begins to deal with some practical areas of Christian living. The focus still seems to be having a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 5:20). Having corrected some of the more prevalent teaching errors of the ...read more

    Lesson 22

    Lesson 22 Matthew 6:10 "...Thy kingdom come..." Having opened our prayer with praise, we now move to the part of our praying where we begin to petition the Father. The first petition deals with the coming of His kingdom. There is actually two aspects of the coming of God’s kingdom. I. THE ...read more

    Lesson 23

    "...Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven..." Our Father has a name we must hallow, He has a kingdom which must be established, and in addition, He has a will we must obey. Obeying the will of God is the natural result of His kingdom rule being established in our hearts. Or as Arthur ...read more
