Mattiyu 16:4

Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers. This is 17 of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  There are many aspects to revelation. Here in this Bible plan we look at some of them. Sometimes they are simple. Other times they are profound and life-changing. 

James wrote: "... if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.” (James 1:23-24 NLT) The Pharisees thought they were obeying the word. I wonder, could this be us? Are we Pharisees? You’re invited to gaze afresh, ditch religion, and grow in the childlike intimacy God desires and adores.

In this final phase of leadership development, Jesus’ style is radical and it flies in the face of many of the popular beliefs of leadership at the time. Get ready to see leadership Jesus-style. During this phase Jesus reveals to his committed core of disciples the Father’s master plan for reaching the world.

This reading plan explores the first Gospel. This Gospel explains that Jesus was the king of Jews that brought the kingdom of heaven, even though Jesus didn't arrive in the way people expected.
