Matthew

The long-awaited Messiah first promised in Genesis surprised everyone. He was not the kind of Savior people were looking for then … or now.

Gentle and compassionate to the marginalized yet bold in confronting religious institutions, Jesus came to make rebels His children. Forging the only path to forgiveness and salvation, Jesus deserved a crown of glory but willingly wore a crown of thorns. His death looked like defeat but brought eternal victory.

Embracing the words of Jesus will change your life.

A Deeper Way to Study Together

Through our four-fold approach, members answer daily questions from Scripture in a personal study time and then discuss the passage in a weekly discussion group, listen to teaching on the passage and then finally read notes that explore the passage further. Everyone, all ages, explore the same Scripture passages so family’s can share their learnings together.
