Matthew
The Book of Matthew
Join Hillsong East Coast as we journey through the Gospel of Matthew in our Connect Groups. Over the course of 8 weeks, read through the book of Matthew and reflect on some of the themes found in the reading with a devotional and group discussion at the end of each week.
Blessed: Unlocking the Power of the Beatitudes
What if true blessing isn’t about wealth, success, or comfort—but about something far greater? In the Beatitudes, Jesus reveals a powerful, countercultural way to experience God’s kingdom in everyday life. Over the next nine days, we’ll dive deep into what it means to be poor in spirit, how mourning brings comfort, why meekness leads to inheritance, and how hungering for righteousness fills our souls. We’ll also explore mercy, purity, peacemaking, and the reality of persecution. Through reflection, scripture, and real-life application, this plan will challenge and transform your understanding of what it truly means to be blessed.
The Nine Beatitudes of Jesus
God has ordained you for greatness. But some attitudes ought to be developed in you before you can get to that height of greatness God purposed for you. In this plan, I’ll help you cover all the nine beatitudes Jesus spoke about in Matthew 5:1-12.
Maturity for the Mission
During this 3-day devotional, Jada discusses the paradox of being on mission for God. The mission God has called us to requires a level of maturity that doesn’t rely on the applause of others. Maturity is not about the amount of knowledge you have or the actions you display. It’s being able to respond immediately to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, especially when it goes against the craving of the flesh.
The Gospel According To Matthew
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.
The Strangers on the Road
During this seven-day Bible study, we will take a closer look at each character in the parable of the Good Samaritan and seek to answer three questions: 1. What do we know about the stranger? 2. How does the stranger point to Jesus? 3. How do these answers impact us? As we examine Luke 10:25-37, it becomes clear that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are revealed in every detail of this famous story!
Dig Up Your Talents: A Biblical Reflection on Matthew 25
The timeless parable in Matthew 25:14-30 illustrates the importance of using the gifts and resources God has given us for His purposes and the consequences of neglecting or misusing them. In this 3-day plan, A. Margot Blair invites you to consider whether you have buried your talents. If so, it's time to dig them up. Let's dive in.

Blessed: Jesus' Invitation To A Transformed Life
Reading the news can be discouraging—even demoralizing. Unfortunately, we cannot convict a single sinner of a single sin or change even one person, much less our culture. But God can. To join him, we must submit our lives to the only power that can change the culture. When Jesus said, "Blessed are . . . " to launch the Beatitudes, he invited us to precisely such an empowered, transformative life.
