Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 9:14

In part three of this verse-by-verse breakdown of the Gospel of Matthew, we'll work our way through Matthew 8-12.

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.

We are entering a season of focused prayer & fasting. This is a time of digging deep wells in God, of refreshing and seeking God. Be challenged to do more than just abstain from food, set yourself apart mentally, physically, and spiritually. God promises if we seek Him with our whole heart, He will be found. Let's draw closer to God than ever before.
