0:00.0	Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, president of One Passion Ministries.
0:07.3	And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture
0:11.4	so that you can better understand the word of God
0:14.2	and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this
0:18.9	section of the Bible. Let me just start in the word of prayer. Welcome those watching on live stream,
0:27.0	whether it's live or delayed broadcast, wherever you are around the world.
0:34.0	Welcome.
0:35.0	We're here in Dallas, Texas, waiting on you.
0:38.0	So come on.
0:39.0	Father, thank you for this opportunity to meet, to study your word. We do not take it for granted that you would provide a place for us to meet and give us the freedom to meet and give us means of

2:18.7	So beginning in verse 17, Jesus in the sermon on the mount said do not think that I came to abolish the law or the
2:28.6	prophets I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
2:33.7	For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away,
2:39.2	not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the law until all is accomplished.
2:47.0	Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same shall be called least in the
