Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 10:6

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 tenth of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  Jesus shows His disciples how to reach out to a broken world – their world.  Then He sends them out to touch it with the Kingdom truths they have learned.  

People typically see Jesus through the lens of their own cultural norms, forgetting that He was a Jewish man living in a Jewish land. Understanding Jesus’ cultural and religious context can give you fresh insights into His life and ministry and even transform your relationship with Him. You’ll discover new reasons to fall in love with Him all over again. 

You have a God-given purpose waiting to be discovered. You have people around you ready to encourage you. And you may not know it yet, but you have everything you need to chase your passion. This Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, I’m In, will help you answer one important question: Are you in?

Have you ever wondered what your calling in life is? It is an important question to ask oneself. And what better place to answer this important question than to look at how Jesus called his first disciples, as recorded in the Gospels. As we discover God’s calling on our lives, we will allow Jesus to rearrange our priorities – and it all starts with a relationship, with following him.

Every believer is called to make disciples. If God has given you a fresh vision for helping people know Christ, grow in their relationship with Him, and help others do the same, you are in an exciting place—at the core of Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)! Over the next six days we will explore how Jesus helped people grow spiritually—principles that are still essential for disciplemakers today.

The first thing that Jesus did when He came to the disciples was to call them to follow Him. And He added: to make fishers of men. In the same way, Jesus is calling us to follow Him and make fishers of men. Many think only about salvation when Jesus calls them. No, He calls us to repentance and to be fishers of men. It is one concept.

God is calling all of us to be disciple-makers. But He also has a specific calling for all of us - a specific place in the church or the world where we must live out our calling.

When God calls you to ministry, it can be overwhelming, but it can also be the best thing that ever happens to you. If your heart’s been stirred to plant a church, start here in God’s Word. Dig in to this seven-day reading plan from the experienced church planting team at Network Churches, and find the encouragement you need to step out into God’s calling.

Jesus’ disciples were losers like us—yet God loved them and made them world-changers, and He can do so with us too.

Three times in I Samuel, Jonathan said to his young armor bearer, "Come, Let's Go!" Three times in Revelation 22 Jesus said, "I'm coming soon!" It's been more than 2,000 years since Jesus made this promise. Jesus gave the church a simple job to do. It's called the Great Commission. So church, why hasn't Jesus COME back yet? We need discipleship in evangelism! COME, LET'S GO!
