In this complete Bible Study on Matthew, learn how this book of the Bible applies to your daily work.

With more than fifty citations from the Old Testament, Matthew stands in the gap to unfold the grand drape of the New Testament stage, proclaiming that all messianic prophecies in the past have now been fulfilled in Jesus. The Kingdom of God will now be extended through the building of Christ’s church, and the promise to make Abraham’s descendants numerous will now be fulfilled through the Great Commission.

It’s hard to describe what the kingdom of God is like, so Jesus makes comparisons to things we know, and contrasts his kingdom with the religious establishment. In our hearts we know what God is really like, but Jesus shows us with his life, and finally his death. But that’s not the end of the story…

This simple plan will lead you through the Gospel According to Matthew from beginning to end.

Matthew, one of Jesus’ inner circle, was inspired by God to write one of the four biographies about Jesus, and it can change your life.
