Matthew’s call narrative moves fast: Jesus proclaims the kingdom, then calls disciples who immediately leave their nets, boats, and family. Matthew insists discipleship isn’t a private conviction or performance of virtue, it is a reordering of allegiance. Following Jesus reshapes real life, loyalties, and the systems we participate in.
Matthew 4:12-23 (3rd Sunday after Epiphany) – January 22, 2023
This is a transitional section in Matthew to get us to the Sermon on the Mount. And because of that, it can feel like there are a thousand things going on and none at all. But, I think if we pick one lane, there are some possibilities for really meaningful topics.
