Week 2 (November 2): Matthew: The Lion — Jesus the King

Matthew opens with a royal genealogy and never stops announcing “the Kingdom of Heaven.” Aimed especially at a Jewish audience, Matthew presents Jesus as the long-promised Messiah-King who fulfills the Law and the Prophets and calls disciples into a new way of life. 

From the Sermon on the Mount to the Great Commission, you’ll see how Matthew organizes Jesus’ teaching into five great discourses and why that matters for your daily obedience. If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament promises land in Jesus—and in us—this week will help you follow the King with clarity and courage.
