Aloha!
Well friends how are you all? Enjoying the hunting hopefully! Well, this weeks lesson is full of insights that will help us live the Christian life on Earth. The chapter is also an outstanding lesson to use your cross referencing skills. I crossed referenced 18:2, 18:10-14, and 18:18. Cross referencing provides further insight and helps clarify the meaning of the scripture. Always begin your cross referencing by reading the account in another Gospel (if it is recorded) before looking at the Epistles or turning to the Old Testament.
Note: Look for comparisons, repeated phrases, and key words. List what you learn about each. Don't forget to give this chapter a theme... In your opinion what is the thread that runs thru the chapter?
As you study ask the following observation questions or use the following questions for your discussion.
What do you learn about the Kingdom of Heaven from this chapter?
How does that help you live as a child of the King on Earth?
What do you learn about the consequences of sin from this passage?
What do you learn from verses 18:10-14?
What do you learn about forgiveness?
What was your key verse?
How have you applied that verse to your life?Enjoy your time with the Lord as you study the Living Word!
By the way... watch for a posting on chapter 17 on Friday... I missed that chapter due to vacation but will catch up later this week.

Why be a Treasure Hunter?
"Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding."
Proverbs 2:3-6 NLT
We are Treasure Hunters because God reveals Himself to us through His word! It is His primary method of communication. Through it He comforts, guides, encourages, teaches and expresses His love for us. It also protects us from being led astray. It is estimated that of the 80% of Americans who say they are Christians, less than 25% read their Bibles and fewer study their Bibles. Reading our Bibles is part of cultivating a personal intimate relationship with the Bread of Life, the King of Kings!
We have been invited on the greatest journey, the most amazing adventure ever undertaken... the privelege of knowing and walking with God. How can we not be Treasure Hunters?
