Matthew 8:18-19

This 4-day devotional is based on the song, "The Case For Christ" by JT Murrell from the album, The Case For Christ: Songs Inspired By The Original Motion Picture. This plan explores the scriptures behind the album's opening anthem. The song "The Case For Christ" was written by Matt Toney.

This reading plan from Scarlet Hiltibidal is an invitation to give up your striving, to accept that you are the worst, to embrace that you are poor in spirit, and to receive the perfect love from the very best: Jesus. God’s offering to us—the broken, the hopeless, the try-hards, and the imperfect—leads us to humility, repentance, and dependence on Jesus as our Savior. That’s where we find freedom and joy.

Leadership ebbs and flows in effectiveness based on how well we follow Jesus. Boyd Bailey reminds us in this 5-day reading plan to follow Jesus first, keep integrity and accountability at the forefront of planning, and stand up for what you know to be true for yourself and others in the role He has placed you.

Jesus has come to bring healing and freedom. 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 ninth of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  Jesus recites the Messianic promises – and then does them! Come watch a Man keep His promises.
