मत्तियाह 15:29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.

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.

This 6-day plan explores the "and"—of the incarnation, of the kingdom, of grace, and of lament—and invites us into the practice of wonder and worship.

What does it look like to walk with God faithfully? While there will certainly be moments of extreme faith, most of the time it looks like one act of obedience at a time.
