Why is it important to see a leader clearly for who they are before following them? Why is it even more important to see Jesus clearly if we desire to follow Him fully? How is following Him fully a wonderful paradox? We will talk about it as we look at Matthew 16:13-26 tomorrow. Here are the notes for our study.

Tomorrow we look at Jesus' teaching on the heart, the inner ME. How is the heart like a garden patch, a new baby, and using a doorbell camera? We will see that as we study Matthew 15:1-20. Here are the notes for our study.

Many of us remember Dana Carvey's comical character the "Church Lady" from Saturday Night Live. Sadly, some of us have bumped into her in real life. What does it mean to be a legalist?

Do you feel a sense of shame when difficult seasons can cause doubts about your faith? Is that a sign of weak faith? Can it actually be a sign for a faith "growth spurt?" Here are the notes for our study in Matthew 11.

Tomorrow Jesus teaches us about the testing of our most important loyalty, our loyalty to Him when we face opposition for His name's sake. Here are the notes for our study in Matthew 10:

I am going to miss being with you tomorrow but I'm grateful to our FBCW leadership for their wise precaution to keep us all safe!

If we WERE meeting tomorrow we would be looking at a couple of very important encounters Jesus had with the religious elite recorded in Matthew 9:9-17. Since we won't be together here are some thoughts on those verses:

Who is the real AUTHORITY in your life? How could I tell that by following you around for a day or two? Tomorrow we’ll see what Jesus had to say about how to build a life that will withstand the STORMS that come to everyone. Here are the notes for our study in Matthew 7:24-29.
