Diving into Matthew 11:12 with context from Matthew’s Gospel to help us understand Jesus’ riddle-like statement “…the Kingdom of Heaven is taken by violence, and the violent lay claim to it.”

Dive into Matthew 11:12 with me

Walking through Matthew 7-9 with an eye on authority as Jesus Christ demonstrates his, teaches with in and on it, and challenges what passes as authority

Thoughts on the reading from this week in Matthew 4-6.

Leaning into Esther’s story for concepts and illustrations of being still and knowing God

Walking commentary on Matthew 1-3

Monday-Tuesday read all three chapters multiple times to get the big picture

Wednesday-Friday go back and read details and study/research those to dive deep

Saturday-Sunday revisit anything and read the big picture again. Look forward into next chapter for the connection moving into next week.

Looking at David in 1 Samuel 22 and 23 as an example of how we can be still even in chaotic moments.

Looking at Martha in John 11 and 12 in the light of Psalm 46:10

Looking at Mary in Luke 10 and John 12 to learn from her about stillness, listening, and worship.

From the garden of Eden to graves, to the garden of Jesus’ tomb and his resurrection life.
