Who is Jesus? This is the ultimate question. Because if Jesus really is who He said He is, it changes everything. But if Jesus is not who He said He is, it also changes everything. Join us in part two of our journey through the Gospel of Matthew to continue to discover the answer to this ultimate question.

Who Is Jesus? Part 2

Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers.  This is the seventh of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  Jesus talks about the “do’s and don’ts” of His kingdom.  How to sum up the Kingdom: see others like God sees them, and treat them like God treats them.

Matthew 8-12: The Mission of the Kingdom

Find hope in Jesus by exploring the opening chapters of Matthew’s Gospel. These chapters reveal who Jesus is: fully human, fully divine, Immanuel—God with us.

He is the beloved Son of God, fulfilling the promises made to Abraham and David. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus not only shows us how to live in the kingdom of God but also makes a way for us to enter it. As His ministry begins with the call to repentance, we see the long-awaited kingdom finally breaking into the world. Hope is here!

Who Is Jesus? Part 4

This devotion (taken from the Book of Matthew) will equip you with biblical truths, and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.

Book of Matthew

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. From the ultimate message on Christian living (Sermon on the Mount) to the invitation to find rest in Jesus, from the parables to understand God and grace to the final week of Jesus’ life, Matthew offers us a Jesus Christ Crash Course.

Jesus Christ Crash Course (Part 2)

"What's In A Word?" is a three-part video series that takes you on a journey of discovering the transformative power in a word. This series uses Scripture to teach on the power in the Word that God speaks over us, the words we speak over ourselves, and the power of Jesus Christ as the Word.

What's in a Word?

Jesus calls each of us to spread His Gospel to the world. Matthew 28:18-20, some of Jesus' last words to His disciples, reads: "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Are you living out His calling? How are you letting Jesus transform and lead you? 

Calling

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' most inspiring and challenging description of the Christian counterculture. John Stott's teaching on this timeless text shows how its value system, ethical standard, religious devotion and network of relationships clearly distinguish it from both the nominal church and the secular world.

Going through the example that Jesus gave us in the Lord’s Prayer, we will explore different elements of prayer and discover ways to develop our own prayer life.

How Then, Shall We Pray?

Chapter 5 is the centre point of Matthew’s presentation of the sayings of Jesus, particularly as it relates to the Law. I hope you are as taken by the words and authority of Jesus as I have been. This is nothing less than our manifesto – kingdom behaviour, ethics, and call, all in these verses. What Jesus says is pure genius. How Matthew puts it together is inspiring.

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ orientation address to His disciples.

This is where the Lord chooses to begin His disciples’ training with solid building blocks for a godly life.

Building On The Rock

Reading the news can be discouraging—even demoralizing. Unfortunately, we cannot convict a single sinner of a single sin or change even one person, much less our culture. But God can. To join him, we must submit our lives to the only power that can change the culture. When Jesus said, "Blessed are . . . " to launch the Beatitudes, he invited us to precisely such an empowered, transformative life.

Blessed: Jesus' Invitation To A Transformed Life

This series will help you understand the Biblical foundation for how successful executives do work differently.

Let God lead your heart as you read this powerful message. 

When You Pray.

When Jesus said that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few, he also provided the initial step for solving this dilemma. “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Matthew 9:37-38, Luke 10:2, NIV). This plan examines how praying “sending prayers,” enables followers of Jesus, to have an impact in advancing the gospel.

The Prayer Request of Christ; "Making an Impact Through Sending Prayers."

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever.

Parables of Jesus: Practical Kingdom Explanations

The incredible story of Jesus’ horrific death and miraculous resurrection has been retold so many times that, if we’re not careful, we might overlook the significance of some of the smaller details of the events that took place between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.
