Matthew: Making Disciples for the Nations, Volume 1 (Chapters 1—13) (Reformed Expository Bible Studies)

The gospel of Matthew is not just the story of Christ’s ministry on earth―it’s also a wellspring of instruction on day-to-day Christian living. Showing how the new covenant fulfills old covenant promises and how the law of Moses applies today, Matthew writes to make disciples, forming the minds, hearts, and hands of believers. Designed for groups and individuals, this Reformed Expository Bible Study gives users the resources they need to delve into God’s Word and understand and apply it for themselves, leading to biblical transformation. Background information and commentary lay the groundwork before readers observe and analyze the Scripture text. Each of the twenty-six lessons makes connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology before concluding with a section for personal application and a prayer prompt.
