Matthew 6.9-15 When doing in-depth Bible study, it is imperative that we understand the context of any given passage.  This is especially important for those passages that are so familiar to us that we can easily miss the meaning.

Matthew 5.31-32 Jesus teaches His disciples against the sinful prevailing view of the culture. Contrary to what they may have heard, there is no such thing as divorce between two children of God. God expects His people to reflect His character as His Spirit changes their hearts.

Matthew 5.27-30 Jesus corrects the erroneous teaching of the day and warns His disciples against the danger of committing adultery in their hearts. Things go terribly wrong when our evil hearts commission other parts of the body to carry out the vile acts of sin.

Luke 1.26-38 Mary hears God’s declaration of war from the lips of an angel. To understand this declaration, we must remember the first time an angel spoke to a woman. Christ has come to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found!
