The Gospel of Matthew is the story of the King who finally arrived. But how do you teach it to your kids?

For centuries, Israel waited. They waited for the promised descendant of Abraham who would bless all nations. They waited for the heir to David's throne whose kingdom would never end. They waited for a Messiah who would rescue them, restore them, and make everything right.

Then, in a small town called Bethlehem, a baby was born.

Matthew's Gospel tells the story of Jesus-the King Israel had been waiting for. It's a story of miraculous healings and impossible teachings, of disciples who kept missing the point and enemies who understood all too well. It's the story of a kingdom that turns the world's values upside down, where the last are first, the humble are great, and the way to find your life is to lose it.

And it ends not with defeat but with resurrection-and a mission that continues to this day.

What Is the Gospel of Matthew? makes this essential Gospel accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that doesn't water down the hard parts or talk down to kids, this guide walks through all twenty-eight chapters of Matthew with:

Engaging illustrations from pop culture-from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to Avengers: Endgameto The Karate Kid-that connect biblical themes to stories kids already know and love Jesus' teaching made clear-unpacking the Sermon on the Mount, the parables, and the Great Commission in ways that challenge and inspire young readers Real-life application-helping kids see how Jesus' radical message about worry, forgiveness, greatness, and following him speaks directly to their own lives

Whether your child is learning what it means to follow Jesus, wrestling with hard questions about faith and doubt, or ready to explore the most influential book ever written, What Is the Gospel of Matthew? will show them that the King who conquered death is still calling people to follow him today.

Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.

A graduate of Freed-Hardeman University, he preaches for the Newport Avenue Church of Christ in Bend, Oregon.
