Discipleship

 

Matthew Chapter 4-7

(Feb-Apr 2021)

One of the features of Matthew is that Jesus' teaching on the distinctive life of His disciples, is introduced straight after He calls His first disciples. Jesus is making it clear from the outset, how life (values, righteousness and attitudes) will be different amongst His followers.

The Call of the King

 

Matthew Chapter 10

(Jul-Aug 2021)

Jesus makes His disciples the answer to their own prayer, that the Lord of the Harvest would send out labourers into the harvest [Matt 9:38]. Although we live on the other side of the resurrection, in His instruction to them about how they are to go about their mission, there is much we can learn about how we are to 'make disciples of all nations' [Matt 28:19].
