<p><em><strong>Matthew Chapter 8</strong></em></p>
 <sup>1</sup>When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. <sup>2</sup>And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. <sup>3</sup>And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. <sup>4</sup>And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. <sup>5</sup>And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, <sup>6</sup>And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. <sup>7</sup>And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. <sup>8</sup>The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. <sup>9</sup>For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. <sup>10</sup>When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. <sup>11</sup>And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. <sup>12</sup>But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. <sup>13</sup>And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. <sup>14</sup>And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. <sup>15</sup>And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. <sup>16</sup>When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: <sup>17</sup>That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. <sup>18</sup>Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. <sup>19</sup>And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. <sup>20</sup>And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. <sup>21</sup>And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. <sup>22</sup>But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. <sup>23</sup>And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. <sup>24</sup>And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. <sup>25</sup>And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. <sup>26</sup>And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. <sup>27</sup>But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! <sup>28</sup>And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. <sup>29</sup>And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? <sup>30</sup>And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. <sup>31</sup>So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. <sup>32</sup>And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. <sup>33</sup>And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. <sup>34</sup>And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

<p><em><strong>Genesis Chapter 4 </strong></em></p>
 <sup>1</sup>And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. <sup>2</sup>And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. <sup>3</sup>And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. <sup>4</sup>And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: <sup>5</sup>But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. <sup>6</sup>And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? <sup>7</sup>If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. <sup>8</sup>And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. <sup>9</sup>And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? <sup>10</sup>And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. <sup>11</sup>And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; <sup>12</sup>When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. <sup>13</sup>And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. <sup>14</sup>Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. <sup>15</sup>And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. <sup>16</sup>And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. <sup>17</sup>And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. <sup>18</sup>And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. <sup>19</sup>And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. <sup>20</sup>And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. <sup>21</sup>And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. <sup>22</sup>And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. <sup>23</sup>And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. <sup>24</sup>If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. <sup>25</sup>And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. <sup>26</sup>And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

<p>Continuation of the &#8216;Sermon on the Mount&#8217; (these are Jesus&#8217; teachings)</p>
<ol>
<li> Jesus discusses judgment:
<ol>
<li>Do not judge anyone, for similar judgment can also be placed on you.</li>
<li>Always reflect on yourself before pointing out other&#8217;s flaws.  How can you hypocritically point out a small flaw in another when you are guilty of a much larger one?</li>
<li>Teaching others should be done within their spiritual understanding.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Jesus continues with seeking the things of God
<ol>
<li>Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened.</li>
<li>Jesus compares how parents take care of there children&#8217;s needs to how God will fulfill our needs in a greater capacity.</li>
<li>The Golden Rule:  Do unto others as you would have the do to you.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Wide and broad is the road to destruction and hell.  Narrow is the road that leads to eternal life.</li>
<li>Jesus warns against false prophets.  He points out that you can recognize them by the &#8216;fruit&#8217; they produce, by there works and actions.</li>
<li>Building upon God&#8217;s Word is like building on rock.  Your faith will stand the storm.  Anyone who hears the Word and rejects it is building on sand and is doomed to destruction.</li>
<li>The people listening to Jesus are amazed because He teaches differently; as one who has actual authority.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Quick Chapter Summary</strong></span></p>
<p>Context:  Continuation of the Sermon on the Mount</p>
<ol>
<li>Jesus tells the disciples to be humble in discrete in several areas of their lives versus being boastful.  These things are about giving glory to God and not yourself.  Also, doing these in secret will result in rewards from the Father in secret.
<ol>
<li>Give to the needy so that your &#8216;left hand does not know what your right is doing.&#8217;</li>
<li>Pray in your home with the door closed and don&#8217;t babble on about what you need&#8230;God already knows your needs.  Jesus introduces the Lord&#8217;s Prayer here.</li>
<li>When fasting, don&#8217;t make it obvious to everyone.  Go on normally.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li> Jesus goes on to talk about the failing, fading, temporary things of the earth:
<ol>
<li>Earthly treasures will pass away.  Store up treasures in heaven by keeping your heart on things of God.</li>
<li>What you look at with your eyes affects the entire body.</li>
<li>No one can serve two masters&#8230;specifically God and Money.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t worry about food or clothing.  God feeds the birds and clothes the flowers which are fairly insignificant things and pass away quickly.  God provides for these, so He&#8217;ll also provide for us.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Quick Chapter Summary </strong></span></p>
<p>Chapter 5 of Matthew consists entirely of Jesus teaching his disciples.  It is often referred to as the &#8216;Sermon on the Mount&#8217;.</p>
<ol>
<li>Jesus heads up a mountain to ministry to His disciples.</li>
<li>He begins with the Beattitudes&#8230;&#8221;Blessed are _______ for they will _____.&#8221;:
<ol>
<li>The Poor in Spirit receive the Kingdom of Heaven.</li>
<li>Those who morn receive comfort.</li>
<li>The meek will inherit the earth.</li>
<li>Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled.</li>
<li>The merciful will be shown mercy.</li>
<li>Those pure in heart will see God.</li>
<li>Peacemakers will be called sons of God.</li>
<li>Those who are persecuted and falsely accused for Jesus&#8217; sake will receive a great reward in Heaven.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Jesus compares the disciples to salt.  Salt adds flavor and preservation.</li>
<li>He calls them a light of the world and compares them to a city on a hill, telling them to shine as a light before men to lead them to God.</li>
<li>Jesus explains that He is here to fulfill the law, not to eliminate it.  It is still to be practiced and taught in it&#8217;s entirety.</li>
<li>Jesus uses a &#8216;nip it in the bud&#8217; approach to sin in verses 21-37:
<ol>
<li>If you find yourself angry at someone, settle the matter before things escalate.  This will prevent things from coming to murder and prison.  It also separates you from being able to worship God with your whole being.</li>
<li>He likens lusting is the same as committing adultery in your heart.</li>
<li>If part of you causes you to sin, remove it.</li>
<li>If anyone divorces (except for reasons of unfaithfulness), they are committing adultery.</li>
<li>Making oaths is a dangerous thing.  Simply let your &#8216;Yes&#8217; be &#8216;Yes&#8217; and your &#8216;No&#8217; be &#8216;No&#8217;.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Jesus challenges the disciples to go beyond the old testament law of an &#8216;Eye for an eye&#8217;, &#8216;Tooth for a tooth.&#8217;  He says to turn the other cheek to an enemy that strikes you and walk two miles with someone that asks you to walk one.</li>
<li>Jesus last point is  to Love your enemies.  He&#8217;s challenging the disciples to strive for the perfection of the Father in love and forgiveness.</li>
</ol>

<li>Many people come out listen to his preaching. Some confess their sins and are baptized.</li>

</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Full Chapter Summary </strong></span></p>
<p><strong><em>John the Baptist in the Desert (Matthew 3:1-6)<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p>In Chapter 3 of Matthew, John the Baptist ministry has begun in the Desert of Judea. John is preaching that everyone should &#8220;Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.&#8221; Verse 3 is a direct quote of <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/bible?passage=Isaiah+40:3">Isaiah 40:3</a> referring to the &#8216;voice of the one crying in the wilderness&#8217; to emphasis the old testament tie in. This is a theme in the book of Matthew used to anchor this new writing on the foundation of the prophets.</p>
<p>John is described as wearing clothes made of camel&#8217;s hair with a simple leather belt about him. The food he ate is described as &#8216;locusts and wild honey&#8217;. His ministry drew people out from the whole region including Jerusalem. Many confessed their sins to him and were baptized in the Jordan river.</p>
<p><em><strong>John Rebukes the Pharisees (Matthew 3:7-12)</strong></em></p>
<p>Among the people that came out to listen to John in the desert were many Pharisees and Sadducees. He is very harsh with them calling them a &#8216;brood of vipers&#8217; and warning them that their stubbornness and hypocrisy can only lead to being &#8216;cut down and thrown into the fire&#8217;. He also warns them that their time to do this is running short and that there is another coming (Jesus) who will &#8220;baptize with the Spirit and with fire&#8230;His winnowing fork is in His hand and He will clear the threshing floor, gathering up all the wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>Jesus Baptism (Matthew 3:13-17)</strong></em></p>
<p>Jesus comes down from Galilee to see John and to be baptized by him. When Jesus asks John to do this, John points out that it should be John coming to Jesus to be baptized and not the other way around. Jesus replies to John that it is okay, and that John should trust Him that this is what needs to be done. John consents to Jesus and baptizes Him.</p>
<p>Upon completion, the Heavens open and the Spirit of God descends upon Jesus. It is accompanied by a voice from heaven declaring, &#8220;This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong></strong></em><em><strong>Matthew Chapter 3</strong></em></p>
 <sup>1</sup>In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, <sup>2</sup>And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. <sup>3</sup>For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. <sup>4</sup>And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. <sup>5</sup>Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, <sup>6</sup>And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. <sup>7</sup>But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? <sup>8</sup>Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: <sup>9</sup>And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. <sup>10</sup>And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. <sup>11</sup>I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: <sup>12</sup>Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. <sup>13</sup>Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. <sup>14</sup>But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? <sup>15</sup>And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. <sup>16</sup>And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: <sup>17</sup>And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
