Free Study Bible Notes

Here's when you might think it would be nice to have a good study Bible: your pastor is preaching on a controversial topic from a complicated text. You know he's probably not going to be able to answer all your questions in the allotted time, and you wish you could get some further insight.

Well, as you know, I'm preaching from Matthew 5:31-37 on divorce and oaths (two sections from the Sermon on the Mount) as well as a later passage, Matthew 19:1-12, which is also about divorce. And, at risk of stealing my own thunder, I'm more than happy to point you to a good resource on these texts.

A few months ago, I posted on the new ESV Study Bible. There is an online version in which anyone can have complete access to the notes on Matthew. Go here to get started, and you can enter the chapter to go anywhere in Matthew. There are plenty of notes on this week's sermon texts, so read up!
