Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath
Marvin Patterson
Matthew 12:1-14
A man and his young son went to church, and when they came out the father was complaining that the service was too long, the preacher was no good, and the singing was off-key.
Finally the little boy said, "Daddy, I thought it was pretty good for a dime."

The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her preacher father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day she asked him why.
"Well, Honey," he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages, "I'm asking the Lord to help me to preach a good sermon."
"Well then, how come He doesn't do it?" she asked.

In chapter 10, Jesus sent His 12 Apostles out on their first missionary journey to spread this wonderful news about the Savior ...
