Matthew

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 the 1st of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew. How does the journey start? It brings in the stories of many people – you might even see yourself in these people. Each played an important part in the birth of Jesus.

Starting The Journey -  Disciple Makers Series #1

"What's In A Word?" is a three-part video series that takes you on a journey of discovering the transformative power in a word. This series uses Scripture to teach on the power in the Word that God speaks over us, the words we speak over ourselves, and the power of Jesus Christ as the Word.

What's in a Word?

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' most inspiring and challenging description of the Christian counterculture. John Stott's teaching on this timeless text shows how its value system, ethical standard, religious devotion and network of relationships clearly distinguish it from both the nominal church and the secular world.

What is The Kingdom? Follow along in Jesus teachings, encounters and miracles. From Jesus walking on water to unveiling the call to sacrificial love, Matthew 14–20 reveals a counter cultural Kingdom that challenges earthly expectations and invites us into radical grace, servant-hearted leadership, and unwavering faith. Each devotion will reflect on the upside-down values of the Kingdom, urging us to step beyond comfort and embrace Christ’s way of living.

Over the next forty days we will journey together through the Gospel of Matthew that we might center our hearts on Jesus.  Each day of Lent will include a short video devotional (4-7 minutes) given by one of our church members at the City Church Beijing International Christian Fellowship.

It is our hope that these devotionals will remind us of who Jesus is and why He came.
