Doubt. We’ve all done it. Doubting itself isn’t a sin. God says when we doubt or question Him and His will for us, we should take our concerns directly to Him for honest answers. Jesus demonstrates this truth when He
BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 9:35-10:42
I apologize upfront if this post is a little convoluted. I was feeling really distracted while studying this lesson, so I didn’t get really deep into the applications. At the end of Matthew chapter 9 and throughout chapter 10, Jesus
BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 9:1-34
The people in this passage were trapped in sin and its effects, though they may not have realized it. But Jesus healed them and met their deepest needs. In the first miracle, four friends of a paralyzed man take him
BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 8
After the Sermon on the Mount, many people began following Jesus. He was making some radical statements and performing some miraculous signs to prove He was the promised Messiah…no wonder so many people wanted to follow Him! But Jesus didn’t

BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 5

BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 4
Last week, we saw Jesus experience a “mountaintop” moment when He was baptized by John the Baptist. This week, we see Jesus go from the mountaintop to the valley where the devil tempts Him three times. Satan tempted Jesus to
BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 3
It’s always interesting to see how God uses our families and our childhoods to prepare us for the Christian life. The same is true for the men in our lesson this week. Both John the Baptist and Jesus were born to godly parents.
BSF 2013-2014: Matthew 2
I remember one of the special things about having a new baby was all of the visitors we had, both in the hospital and at home. So many people wanted to meet “Cheeto,” love on her and bestow her with
