“Do not judge others,

and you will not be judged.

For you will be treated as you treat others.

The standard you use in judging is the standard

by which you will be judged.”

Matthew 7:1-2

Seek the kingdom of God above all else,

and live righteously,

and he will give you everything you need.

So don’t worry about tomorrow,

for tomorrow will bring its own worries.

Today’s trouble is enough for today.

Matthew 6:34

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth,

where moths eat them and rust destroys them,

and where thieves break in and steal.

Store your treasures in heaven,

where moths and rust cannot destroy,

and thieves do not break in and steal.

Wherever your treasure is,

there the desires of your heart will also be.”

Matthew 6:19-21

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done in earth, 

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, 

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil: 

For thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, 

and the glory, 

for ever. 

Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

(Galveston, TX)

Just then a woman 

who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding

came up behind him.

She touched the fringe of his robe,

for she thought,

“If I can just touch his robe,

I will be healed.”

Jesus turned around,

and when he saw her he said,

“Daughter, 

be encouraged!

Your faith has made you well.”

And the woman was healed at that moment.

Matthew 9:20-22

(Galveston, TX)

This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah:

“In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali,

beside the sea,

beyond the Jordan River,

in Galilee where so many Gentiles live,

the people who sat in darkness

have seen a great light.

And for those who lived in the land

where death casts its shadow,

a light has shined.”

Matthew 4:14-16

“Get out of here, Satan,”

Jesus told him.

“For the Scriptures say,

‘You must worship the LORD your God

and serve only him.’”

Then the devil went away,

and angels came and took care of Jesus.

Matthew 4:10-11

But Jesus told him,

“No! 

The Scriptures say,

‘People do not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes

from the mouth of God.’”

Matthew 4:4

…ancestors of Jesus the Messiah…

Perez and Zerah (whose mother was Tamar)…

Boaz (whose mother was Rahab)…

Obed (whose mother was Ruth)…

King David…

Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, 

the widow of Uriah)…

Jacob was the father of Joseph,

the husband of Mary.

Mary gave birth to Jesus,

who is called the Messiah. 

Matthew 1:1, 3, 5-6, 16

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says,

“The day of judgment is coming,

burning like a furnace.

On that day the arrogant and the wicked 

will be burned up like straw.

They will be consumed—roots, branches, and all.

But for you who fear my name,

the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings.

And you will go free,

leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

Malachi 4:1-2
