Proverbs 4:1-9 Listen, children, to a father’s instruction; pay attention, in order to gain insight; 2 for I am giving you good advice; so don’t abandon my teaching. 3 For I too was once a child to my father; and my mother, too, thought of me as her special darling. 4 He too taught me; he said to me, “Let your heart treasure my words; keep my commands, and live; 5 gain wisdom, gain insight; don’t forget or turn from the words I am saying. 6 Don’t abandon [wisdom]; then she wi

Proverbs 1:7-9 7 The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. 8 My son, heed the discipline of your father, and do not abandon the teaching of your mother; 9 they will be a garland to grace your head, a medal of honor for your neck. God created us to LOVE Him, and part of that love means to fear Him. We have all heard that it doesn't mean to be afraid of Him, it is being in awe of Him. It is stopping a recognizing that HE created

Matthew 22:33-40 33 When the crowds heard how he taught, they were astounded; 34 but when the P’rushim (Pharisees) learned that he had silenced the Tz’dukim (Sadducees), they got together, 35 and one of them who was a Torah expert asked a sh’eilah (question) to trap him: 36 “Rabbi, which of the mitzvot (commands) in the Torah is the most important?” 37 He told him, “‘You are to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.’ 38 Thi

Matthew 21:14-17 14 Blind and lame people came up to him in the Temple, and he healed them. 15 But when the head cohanim (priests) and Torah-teachers saw the wonderful things he was doing, and the children crying out in the Temple, “Please deliver us!” to the Son of David, they were furious. 16 They said to him, “Do you hear what they’re saying?” Yeshua replied, “Of course! Haven’t you ever read, ‘From the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself’?”

Matthew 11:25-26 25 It was at that time that Yeshua said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you concealed these things from the sophisticated and educated and revealed them to ordinary folks. 26 Yes, Father, I thank you that it pleased you to do this. This is the ESV version: 25 At that time Jesus declared,“I thank you, Father,Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26

Matthew 9:32-38 32 As they were going, a man controlled by a demon and unable to speak was brought to Yeshua. 33 After the demon was expelled the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed. “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Isra’el,” they said. 34 But the P’rushim (Pharisees) said, “It is through the ruler of the demons that he expels demons.” 35 Yeshua went about all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Ki

Matthew 9:14-17 14 Next, Yochanan’s talmidim (disciples/students) came to him and asked, “Why is it that we and the P’rushim (Pharisees) fast frequently, but your talmidim don’t fast at all?” 15 Yeshua said to them, “Can wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them; then they will fast. 16 No one patches an old coat with a piece of unshrunk cloth, because the patch tears away from the coat and

Matthew 6:1-4 6 “Be careful not to parade your acts of tzedakah in front of people in order to be seen by them! If you do, you have no reward from your Father in heaven.2 So, when you do tzedakah, don’t announce it with trumpets to win people’s praise, like the hypocrites in the synagogues and on the streets. Yes! I tell you, they have their reward already!3 But you, when you do tzedakah, don’t even let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.4 Then your tzedakah wi

Matthew 5:21-26 21 “You have heard that our fathers were told,‘Do not murder,’and that anyone who commits murder will be subject to judgment.22 But I tell you that anyone who nurses anger against his brother will be subject to judgment; that whoever calls his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Sanhedrin (court/council); that whoever says, ‘Fool!’ incurs the penalty of burning in the fire of Gei-Hinnom (fire/hell)!23 So if you are offering your gift at

Matthew 5:13-16 13 “You are salt for the Land. But if salt becomes tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except being thrown out for people to trample on. 14 “You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they
