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?

Are you a LOYAL sports fan even if your favorite team isn't winning? Are you so loyal that it's WORTH your time, money, and enduring "trash talk" at times?

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.

Light is required to fix things because darkness hides the problems. Jesus came as the "Light of the world" to fix humanity’s sin problem. How does He shed light on the hearts of both the unsaved and His followers? How does it affect our BEING and doing? We’ll see that in Matthew 4 tomorrow. Here are the notes for our study.

Why would anyone voluntarily follow a leader? What is it about the leader and the followers that makes that happen? The larger question: Why did people follow Jesus when He was on earth. Why do they today? We will talk about that as we look at Matthew 3 & 4. Here are the notes for our study.

Here are the notes.
