Thought I would share the Scripture that we're gonna study tonight.  God bless!

Matthew 4:12-25
"When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15 "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, along the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned." 

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."  20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him."
NIV

Is your Bible Study group working throught the entire book of Matthew?

Our Pastor has been doing a complete sermon series on the Gospel of Matthew. We have been in Matthew for about a year.

That series sounds great!
Yes.  We started Matthew after finishing the book of James.  Except we took a two week break between the two books to talk about the different translations (styles, translation philosophies, word for word, thought for thought, etc).  We spent nearly a year and a half in Genesis and had our youth meet with us for four weeks while we talked Creation and evolution, what they'll be taught in school and what is the Truth.

It sounds like you go to a good church.

BamaDave, I have noticed the "Missionary to WV" at the bottom of your posts. What's that about?

:lol2:
That's what I tell these folks up here in WV.  That I'm a missionary to them.  I'm a pastor here in WV but I'm not from WV.  I'm from MS and AL.  I've been here nearly nine years sharing the Gospel and Alabama Football with them.  Made a number of converts in both fields!   :lol:

Keep up the good work. Where in WV are you located?

Northern Panhandle.  Moundsville, WV.  Marshall County

I've known about this forum for a year or so, a member on a south Alabama fishing forum told me about it.  Lurked here a few times then finally decided to join.

We are glad you decided stop lurking and start posting.  #+

God Bless BamaDave. Welcome, I think SuperCoach has started a Super Site for Worship and Prayers, then Alabama anything you want to talk about. Amen!

That is great.  My son is a minister. I'll have to tell him he should take his vacations here (WV), instead of Haiti or Uganda. Have you been preaching 'the sins of gimmick football?' Welcome!

Thanks!  I'm glad to be here!

Thanks Ricky023.  I enjoy reading your posts and prayers!

Thanks BamaWV.  What part of WV are you in?  I've had to be careful about football the last two weeks here.  The people of WV are in football mourning!
