How the Kingdom Advances (Matthew 4:12-25)
/The Gospel of Matthew is all about Christ’s kingdom coming, but how is his kingdom expanding today? In the midst of the chaos of our world and the anxieties of our lives, how can we see God making progress? And how can we join him in bringing light to the darkness around us? This Sunday’s passage is about how Jesus’ ministry starts and spreads. We’ll see the surprising power of where he begins, who he recruits, and how he works to inaugurate heaven’s reign on earth.
