hearts.20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of
Scripture came about by the

had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human,

FOUNDATION SETTING PRECEDENT
EXODUS 19:3-9“And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the
house of Jacob, and tell the children of

EXODUS 19:3-9Israel: 4 ‘You have seen what I
did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now
therefore,

EXODUS 19:3-9if you will indeed obey My voice
and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all
the earth is Mine.

EXODUS 19:3-96 And you shall be to Me a
kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the
children of Israel.”
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATION SETTING PRECEDENT
EXODUS 19:3-97 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people,
and laid before them all these words which
the LORD commanded him.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATION SETTING PRECEDENT
EXODUS 19:3-9Then all the people answered together and said, “All that
the LORD has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought
back the words of the people to

EXODUS 19:3-9the LORD. 9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to
you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak
with you, and believe you forever.”

FOUNDATION SETTING PRECEDENT
EXODUS 19:3-9So Moses told the words of the
people to the LORD.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONKEY POINTS:•The BIBLE, WORD of God, is considered by God to be a COVENANT document not a voted upon treaty. •The LORD looks for the POWER OF AGREEMENT among His people.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONKEY POINTS:•The Bible is always interpreted correctly when we have the attitude of HIS WORD being HIS COVENANT with HIS PEOPLE. When we abandon that idea, we have lost the CORRECT interpretation of the WORD.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONKEY POINTS:•When we reduce God’s WORD down to a set of human principles or WORDS, we WILL CREATE false teachings and false doctrines.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONKEY POINTS:•No matter how we look at the Gospel records, we must remember that these documents are GOD’S COVENANT. They show us the building blocks of HIS promises and provision for us.

FOUNDATIONS •FACTS OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
•It contains names, places and historical events that can be measured against time and space.

New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONS •FACTS OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW•It’s publically known and recognized by the early Church as an authoritative and an accurate source of Jesus Christ.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONS •FACTS OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW•The Church was built upon the foundations of the Apostles and prophets, and whatever was taught had to stand up to that.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONEPH. 1:19-22Now, therefore, you are no
longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members
of the household of God, 20 having been built on
the foundation of the apostles
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONEPH. 1:19-22and prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted
together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONEPH. 1:19-22 22 in whom you also are being
built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONKEY POINTS:•The gospels are both the DESIGN and ENERGY (LOGOS) to build in us a place for GOD to dwell. And there is no out-of-place or faulty brick or foundation for God’s house in us.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONS •DNA OF MATTHEWThe gospel of Matthew is not a commentary upon the life of Jesus Christ. It is the very words used to build the structure in each of us for the HOLY SPIRIT TO DWELL.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:1-3Then Jesus was led up by the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And
when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward

came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command
that these stones become bread.”
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONS •MATTHEW the BUILDER
NOTICE: There is no prohibition against satan coming to us with temptations in our human weakness. If satan did it to Christ, so he will do it to Christ-followers.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONS •MATTHEW the BUILDER
QUESTION: If Jesus was alone then how did Matthew gain this information about the events of the TEMPTATIONS of Jesus Christ?
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONJOHN 20:30-31And truly Jesus did many other
signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written
in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ,
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONJOHN 20:30-31the Son of God, and that
believing you may have life in His name.
New TESTAMENT

still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONLUKE 24:44-48and the Prophets
and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the
Scriptures.
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONLUKE 24:44-4846 Then He said to them, “Thus
it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to
suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that

New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:3-4Now when the tempter came to
Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that
these stones become bread.”4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live
by

FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:3-4bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from
the mouth of God.’”(Deut. 8:3)

FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:5-7Then the devil took Him up into
the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and
said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down.
For it is written:

FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:5-7‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands
they shall bear you up,Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’” (Psalm 91:11-12) 7 Jesus

your God.’”(Deut. 6:16)

New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:8-11Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain,
and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All
these things I will give You
New TESTAMENT
FOUNDATIONMATTHEW 4:8-11if You will fall down and worship
me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! (Get
behind me satan!) For it is written, ‘You shall worship
the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”(Deut. 6:16)
