Matthew

If walls could talk or cities had voices, what would the Bible’s ancient sites say about Jesus and your life following Him? Come along on a creative journey through the perspectives of various Bible sites, as “they” describe their encounters with the God of Israel and His Messiah. Can you guess each site before the reveal at the end of these devotions?

If Walls Could Talk

Jesus was intentional with his parables; the synoptic gospels, which give us an overview, present the parable of the sower, the wheat and the weeds, the mustard seed, and the yeast as a whole invitation to grow toward a full life that is given to others.

This is a seven-day video series which goes verse-by-verse through The Lord’s Prayer. Watch a short, meditative teaching, then engage with reflection questions and prayer prompts throughout the day. It is designed to deepen your understanding of this beautiful passage of scripture and enrich your daily prayer life. 

Our Father in Heaven - a Week in the Lord's Prayer

Over the next 7 days, explore The Lord's Prayer. The disciples saw Jesus' prayer life alive, vital and centred on the Father. They asked Him to teach them how to pray. As followers of Jesus in the 21st century, we can ask the same: 
Jesus, teach us to pray. 

Teach Us to Pray

Perhaps the concept of “conversion” (or “repentance”) evokes resistance in you. It may sound old-fashioned or like an ideal that is impossible to attain. Perhaps you know it is important, but you keep putting it off. That is precisely why Matthew’s story is so instructive. He shows what it truly means to repent, turn to God and follow Jesus.

From Tax Collector to Disciple. How Matthew’s Life Changed When He Answered Jesus’ Call

Many Christians trade their good portion in Christ for their good performance. They serve God while struggling to enjoy God. In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus steps into the tension between submission and service. This seven-day devotional challenges how we think about discipleship, worship, and ministry, and calls us into joyful surrender.

The Good Portion

The people kept asking Jesus for a sign, even after seeing Him heal, deliver, raise the dead, and forgive sins. Still, they wanted more. Jesus refused to perform on demand. Instead, He pointed to the sign that would matter most: Jonah. Three days. A tomb. An empty grave. This study walks through Matthew 12:38–45 and asks a hard question: have we been chasing experiences when God has already given us the resurrection? Three days. One Christ. The only sign we will ever need.

Be challenged. Be stirred. Be mature. Be inspired.

Wisdom & Wonder: A 3-Day Devotional With Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell

The Beatitudes are not merely inspiring words, but the inner path that Jesus outlines for living according to the Kingdom of God. They aim first and foremost at transforming the heart before any visible action. Jesus reveals the character and attitudes that He forms: humility, repentance, gentleness, justice, mercy, purity, peace, and faithfulness. This path requires truth, dependence on God, and renunciation of pride. True blessing comes from a heart aligned with God. This reading plan invites us to a gradual inner transformation by the Holy Spirit.
