2025 - Seeking His Kingdom - Studies in the Gospel of Matthew (Part 1)
The opening chapters of the Gospel of Matthew introduce us to the King of heaven and the nature of His kingdom. From the genealogy and birth of Jesus to His bold preaching, powerful miracles, and kingdom-defining parables, Matthew 1-14 lays a rich foundation for understanding who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him.
This volume contains a collection of lessons presented during the Bear Valley Bible Institute’s annual lectureship, all focused on Matthew’s inspired account of Jesus’ early ministry. Each chapter explores key texts and themes—His identity as the Son of God, the righteousness of His kingdom, the cost of discipleship, and the authority of the King who calms storms and calls sinners.
Rooted in a high view of Scripture and a deep reverence for the Lord, these lessons are designed to instruct, challenge, and encourage. Whether used for personal study, sermon preparation, or classroom teaching, this book will help every reader more fully appreciate the beauty and power of the King and His mission while on earth.
We invite you to journey through these inspired texts and renew your commitment to seek first the kingdom of God.
