Ahoy My Bible Pirate Friends!
Well, busy past few weeks for me... sick kids, upcoming events, my 10th wedding anniversary have made for an eventful few weeks. I pray your study time is revealing more treasures... most of all I pray that as you spend time in God's word you are growing in the knowledge of Him. I pray that you are falling deeper in love with Jesus with every passing second.
Well, this week my friend Laura is teaching... she sent us her notes... Enjoy!
What did Jesus teach about divorce, marriage and singleness?
From what source did He draw His teachings?
What did Jesus teach about the kingdom of heaven?
What did Jesus teach about our treasure in heaven?
WWhat did Jesus teach about discipleship?
What principles and applications do you find in the parable of the laborers?
Find and look up as many cross references as you can - there are lots!!
What verse did you choose as your key verse? Why?
How does the context of your life compare with the context of the passage in which your key verse is found?

Matthew 18
Aloha!
Well friends how are you all? Enjoying the hunting hopefully! Well, this weeks lesson is full of insights that will help us live the Christian life on Earth. The chapter is also an outstanding lesson to use your cross referencing skills. I crossed referenced 18:2, 18:10-14, and 18:18. Cross referencing provides further insight and helps clarify the meaning of the scripture. Always begin your cross referencing by reading the account in another Gospel (if it is recorded) before looking at the Epistles or turning to the Old Testament.
Note: Look for comparisons, repeated phrases, and key words. List what you learn about each. Don't forget to give this chapter a theme... In your opinion what is the thread that runs thru the chapter?
As you study ask the following observation questions or use the following questions for your discussion.
What do you learn about the Kingdom of Heaven from this chapter?
How does that help you live as a child of the King on Earth?
What do you learn about the consequences of sin from this passage?
What do you learn from verses 18:10-14?
What do you learn about forgiveness?
What was your key verse?
How have you applied that verse to your life?
Enjoy your time with the Lord as you study the Living Word!
By the way... watch for a posting on chapter 17 on Friday... I missed that chapter due to vacation but will catch up later this week.
