Matthew-2

In this continuation of Through the Bible, Zac Poonen examines the Gospel of Matthew as a revelation of the Kingdom of Heaven and New Covenant discipleship. He contrasts an earthly-minded religious life with the heavenly life Jesus came to establish, urging believers to look to Jesus rather than use the failures of Old Testament saints as excuses for sin. The study explores coming to Christ for rest, learning His gentleness and humility, receiving revelation with the teachability of a child, overcoming sin through grace and faith, waiting upon God rather than originating our own work, understanding Christ as the foundation of His triumphant Church, forgiving others from the heart, and serving God with the right motives. Ultimately, the message leads to Christ’s Great Commission: Christians are called not merely to produce converts or outward religious change, but to make disciples who obey everything Jesus commanded.
