Dear brother, enjoyed your outline of Matthew. Another interesting one, which I heard from D. Gilliland, is:

The suitability of the Sovereign (1-4)
Historically (1)
Prophetically (2)
Officially (3)
Morally (4)

The standards of the Sovereign (5-7)

The signs of the Sovereign (8-9)
Half of all the miracles mentioned in Matthew are in these two chapters

The spurning of the Sovereign (10-12)

The secrets of the Sovereign (13-18)

The skill of the Sovereign (19-22)
Answering questions

The sentence of the Sovereign (23-25)

The suffering of the Sovereign (26-27)

I've nothing marked for chapter 28; can't remember if I failed to jot it down, or if it was included with chapters 26 & 27.

In Christ, Billy

Dear brother Billy,
I appreciate the additional thoughts from your notes. For chapter 28, I would add "The supremacy of the Sovereign".

I've enjoyed brother D. Gilliland's ministry on numerous occasions through recordings. I've also been following your "In the fields of Boaz" blog for sometime now and have enjoyed the thoughts there too.

Nice to know that the Lord has His people all over the world and the internet (though with its dangers) has helped to connect us.

In Christ,
Jaya
