| 05022021 | Matthew 5 | As hard as the journey is, "Whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." |
| 05032021 | Matthew 9 | Jesus helped and healed many, despite slanderers, and taught in order to begin establishing workers for God's harvest. |
| 05042021 | Matt 11:1-21 | An excellent discussion of *teaching*, how we are to teach *truth* rather than thinking highly of our own *opinions*. |
| 05052021 | Matt 15:1-19 | Stop trying to rationalize. The truth speaks for itself. Verse 26 "Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight." |
| 05062021 | Matthew 21 | When people demand to know credentials and affiliations rather than hearing and obeying the truth, there is trouble. |
| 05072021 | Matthew 22 | Glaring difference between those desiring to learn and those desiring to entangle and/or justify themselves. |
| 05082021 | Matthew 26 | He taught openly but they took Him by night "that scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." |
| 05092021 | Matthew 28 | "And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." One of our greatest duties: to teach! |
| 05102021 | Mark 4 | The lesson we never stop needing to hear: Sow the seed. Light is not meant to be hid. Unused resources are taken away. |
| 05112021 | Mark 6 | "From whence hath this man these things?" God's ways may truly astonish those who take the time to learn it. |
| 05122021 | Mark 8 | The people stayed for 3 days to learn from Jesus! A chief lesson to learn: deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him. |
| 05132021 | Mark 12 | The Pharisees and Herodians claimed that Jesus taught the way of God in truth. Too bad they didn't believe it at all. |
| 05142021 | Mark 14 | Teaching the truth may lead to some form of betrayal or persecution. Even so, the work is too important to neglect! |
| 05152021 | Luke 5 | Some to learn, some to entrap, some to follow, some to be healed while the Lord Jesus taught them. |

| 05242021 | John 9 | The Pharisees focus on this blind-from-birth man's "sin" but don't care that Jesus spontaneously gave him sight. Priorities. |
| 05252021 | John 14 | The teachings of the Son and the Spirit are the teachings of God, the Father, the same we learn and teach from the Bible. |
| 05262021 | Acts 1 | "... All that Jesus began both to do and teach." Whatever it is that we teach, we must also do, otherwise why teach it? |
| 05272021 | Acts 4 | The apostles teaching was challenged, maligned and threatened, but teachers of the truth ought to obey God not men. |
| 05282021 | Acts 5 | The council thought that the Apostles would do as they demanded and stop teaching. Sorry, truth outweighs whims. |
| 05292021 | Acts 13 | Now we are talking about teacher preparation: prayer, fasting, laying on hands, knowing the importance of the message. |
| 05302021 | Acts 15 | "Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do." |
| 05312021 | Acts 16 | We ought to obey God rather than man. The result will often be hard and heavy. They threw them in prison but they sang. |
