After that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he left everything behind, and got up and began to follow Him. And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them.

Matthew, the former tax collector turned devoted disciple, and James the Less, the brother of Matthew, are both chosen as apostles by Jesus Christ. Matthew's story reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's transformative grace. His swift response to Jesus' call is an inspiration for us to follow Christ immediately when He calls us to a higher purpose.

Jesus spent a lot of time ministering to messy people. Today’s churches seem to spend a lot of time serving the clean and tidy. So where did things go wrong? In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe dives into Jesus’ plan for those who come to Him in faith. Hint: It doesn’t involve making messy people more tidy.
Loving people seems easy until we get to the “loving people” part. Now more than ever, loving people is hard. In this 5-day reading plan, Pastor Adam Weber walks us through how to love the hardest-to-love people in our lives, not because love is easy, but because love has a name, and that name is Jesus.
Following Jesus might cost you money, time, energy, comfort, popularity, acceptance, pleasure, or countless other things that we all prefer, but walking through life with the only One who can forgive your sins, provide a remedy for death, and offer you a place in the presence of God is so worth it.
