Matthew was a failed Jew who found the Messiah. To Matthew, Jesus was the fulfillment of the promises that God made to Israel for a savior who would save them from their oppressor. Yet, Matthew found, like us, that his greatest oppressor was himself, and his own sin; only Jesus can rescue us!

Who is Jesus? Philosophy, literature, art, politics—all of them have been profoundly impacted by the life and teaching of this one man. Christians even call him the Son of God! So who is he?

Among theologians, the book of Ephesians is known as the very mountain peaks of scripture. For you and I, it is both profoundly deep and intensely practical. In Ephesians we learn who we are and how to walk it out. We are adopted by the King of Kings, and heirs to the Kingdom. And yet this incredible calling is all grace. We don’t earn it, but we can walk worthy of it - in unity and humility, in light and in love. A little walk we call grace swagger.

Every church leader is given a sacred trust from God - to lead, guide, and teach God's people under their care.

Paul's timeless advice to Titus applies today more than ever. For the church planter - it's a survival manual. For every Christian - it's a resounding call to be faithful with all that God has entrusted to you. Peyton Jones & Kris Langham guide us.
