A crowd of people hoping that Jesus would heal their sick loved one, followed Jesus to where He was. As Jesus healed the sick and taught the crowd of people, it grew late. The disciples realized that they were pretty much out in the middle of nowhere,
and the people must be getting hungry. They asked Jesus to tell the people to leave so they could find food in nearby villages, but Jesus told the disciples to feed all of the people there. The only food they could find was five loaves of barley bread and two fish given to them by a boy, nowhere nearly enough food for a crowd of well over 5,000 people. Jesus took the loaves and fish, thanked God for it, and gave it to the disciples to distribute to everyone there. After everyone ate enough food to make them full, there were 12 baskets of leftover food. All things are possible with God!!!

We had an awesome time in class digging in the book of Matthew! “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,” Jesus taught, “where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in a steal. But store up treasures in heaven!” He urged the people who had come to hear Him teach to see how short-lived the treasures on earth are compared to the vast and infinite riches of His kingdom. He comforted the poor and sick, who were anxious about an uncertain future, telling them not to worry about what they would eat or drink, or what they would wear. If God cares enough about the birds of the air and the flower of the field, to feed them and clothe them, how much more would He take care of those who trust Him? “Don’t be anxious,” He said, “Your heavenly Father knows what need, and He will take good care of you.”

This story begins with Jesus praying. The disciples had witnessed Him praying for others and had often seen Him steal away to pray alone. On this particular occasion, one of the disciples approached Jesus and asked Him to teach them how to
pray. Jesus provided a pattern to use in prayer, often referred to as The Lord’s Prayer. In it, He addressed the types of things to include when communicating to God. He taught His disciples to worship Him as the one true God and as their Father; He also taught them to surrender to His Kingdom and His will, trust Him for daily provision, ask for forgiveness, and to use prayer in battle against temptation.

Jesus tells a group of His followers that God is our loving Father. God wants a relationship with us, and we can make sure that this relationship is a close one through prayer. Jesus warns His followers that the example of prayer seen by the Pharisees
should not be followed. We should not pray only so that others can see how pious we are, but instead, prayer should be seen as a private conversation between ourselves and God. We should do it in a quiet, private place where we are able to focus and pay attention. Jesus also warns His followers not to pray like the unbelievers who repeat the same words over and over again, as if the use of magic words is how prayers are answered rather than
through God’s provision for our needs. Jesus then says a prayer that His followers can use as an example of how to pray. He says,
“Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as
we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”

🍓 The people and voices we allow into our lives shape what we believe and how we live. Paul warned the church in Corinth because some were being influenced by false teaching that denied the resurrection of Jesus.

This verse is not a call to avoid people who need Christ. It is a reminder to be careful about the influences that shape our hearts, beliefs, and faith.

Ask yourself: Are the voices I listen to leading me closer to Jesus and the truth of His Word?

Choose influences that strengthen your faith and help you grow in Christ.

This story of suffering, despair, healing and salvation began with a very sick man desperate for change. He had been sick with a debilitating illness for 38 years and kept coming back to the pool of Bethesda, believing in its healing powers. But there were limitations to the pool’s healing powers that left him disheartened. First, the angel that was said to stir the waters only came once in great while; and second, only the person who got
into the water first was healed. It was every man for himself, and with no one to care for him, he didn’t stand a chance. But one day everything changed. Jesus the Messiah heard his heart’s cry for help, saw his dire situation, and took compassion on the suffering man. He was healed from his immediate suffering, but more importantly he was presented with the Savior, who alone can offer eternal life.

Matthew 7:12: That’s right. The “golden rule” that teaches us to be nice to others came from Jesus. When we put ourselves in someone else’s position, it makes it hard for us to be mean. We should always consider the feelings and situations of others before we say or do anything. This is not an easy thing to do, especially when the other person is being rude or mean to you.
