Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 4:2

Why do we struggle to embrace a Kingdom lifestyle? Often, it is because we are shaped more by the world than by God’s Kingdom. Culture, false identities, distractions, and misplaced priorities pull us away from His design. Kingdom living is not occasional spirituality, but daily alignment with God’s ways. Through His presence, His Word, prayer, discipline, and surrender, we are transformed. As we grow in our identity and purpose, our lives begin to reflect His nature, reveal His glory, and become instruments through which He strengthens others and establishes Kingdom culture.

You said yes to Jesus. Now what’s next? Inside this devotional, you’ll discover more about what your decision to follow Jesus means.

If you have been in church for any length of time, you’ve likely heard the call to “make disciples.” But what does that really mean? 1 John 2:6 (NIV) says, “Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” To be a disciplemaker is to live like Jesus and do what He did. This reading plan invites you into The (Jesus') Disciple Making Story, exploring how Jesus intentionally formed disciples—and how His way shapes our lives today.

Jesus said that we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free (John 8:31-32). Yet our enemy, the devil, is bent on twisting God’s truth in his all-out efforts to "steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10). The epistle of Jude exhorts us to contend for truth. Let’s pray through Jude, and be emboldened today to fight for the faith!

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever.

Why does America like fast food? Because it’s quick, convenient, and tastes amazing. But when we view our faith through that lens, we become spiritually out of shape consumers who end up living a faith dependent on speed, convenience, and hyper-palatability. But God’s desire for us in life is to slow down and live lives of intentional discipleship; to develop lasting faith in a fast culture.

What happened in Eden has shaped us all. From joy in the Creator’s presence to the collapse that brought death—still felt and passed down until He comes. The principles of Creation reveal God’s character and His mind. And when we look at the first man and woman, we also see ourselves more clearly. As both a psychologist and a follower of Christ, I find this deeply moving. So I invite you to join me in returning to Eden, to reflect on what truly happened there—and what it means for us today.
