dead or alive?
December 29, 2012 SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:18-22 OBSERVATIONS 1. Why does Jesus avoid the crowds? Seeing how they often responded – faith, doubt, anger, excitement – and how some wanted to “make Him king by force” (John 6:15), I suspect that Jesus avoided the crowds to keep Himself on task, fulfilling His God assignment. He knew how Satan…
heal my mother-in-law too!
November 28, 2012 SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:14-17 OBSERVATIONS 1. Peter is married. His mother-in-law is sick with the fever, and with a word, Jesus heals her.

able… but willing?
November 26, 2012 SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:1-4 OBSERVATIONS 1. It is not clear that leprosy as we know it today (Hansen’s disease) is the same thing as leprosy in the bible. Whatever it was, it was a terrible disease to be afflicted with causing the person to be rejected and by society and family. They were ‘unclean’…
pray boldly!
November 25, 2012 SCRIPTURE: Psalm 9 OBSERVATIONS 1. David starts by affirming his faith in God. God is in charge, God cares for the needy and the oppressed. God stands for justice, and will punish those who oppose and deny it! As we see from the rest of the psalm (vv.13-14), he is not experiencing this…
