When Jesus called Matthew in Mark 2:13-17, it was one of the more scandalous things Jesus had done. In this devotional bible study for men on Mark 2:13-17, I’m going to talk about why it was scandalous when Jesus called Matthew to be his disciple. 
 
I’ll tell you what, though, bro, I’m glad that Jesus called Matthew to be his disciple. Because Jesus called Matthew to be his disciple, I have hope that Jesus has a plan and a purpose for me, too. I’m going to explain why in this episode. Listen to this devotional Bible study for men, and I think you’ll see what an awesome thing it is for you that Jesus called Matthew.

What is your kingdom assignment? I hope this episode challenges you. No, really. You have an incredible opportunity to be part of God's plan to solve all of humanity's problems. God has an assignment for you in His kingdom. That assignment will impact others, for sure. But, it will also make you feel crazy satisfied and full of purpose. 
 
There's a catch, though. If you want to be part of God's master plan to heal humanity's brokenness, you have to give up your own agenda. Your life will have to be governed by the agenda of the Kingdom of God. Is it worth the trade-off? That's what you'll have to decide. 
 
In this episode I focus on Acts 1:3-8. In this passage the disciples were ready to advance an agenda. The problem was that it wasn't the agenda of the Kingdom of God. Jesus had to guide them so that they could see the importance of living according to the agenda of the Kingdom of God. Hopefully, we'll be able to do the same.

What is Your Kingdom Assignment? A Men&#39;s Bible Study on Acts 1:3-8

Focus on what you can become not on what you currently are. Why? Because that's what Jesus did when he called his first disciples. He called them based on what they could become, not on what they currently were. 
 
This video is season 2 episode 3 of The Christian Bro Code podcast. 
 
In Matthew 4:18-19 Jesus told Peter and Andrew, "Come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men." There's much more to this call than meets the eye. With these simple words Jesus demonstrated that he was far more interested in what these men could become than in what they currently were.

Jesus Said "Come Follow Me" - Why is that important? (Matthew 4:18-19)

Sure, Jesus eats with sinners. But why? It all has to do with the "S" word. What's the "S" word? I explain it all in this men's Bible study on Mark 2:13-17. 
 
Mark 2:13-17 teaches that Jesus called Levi (Matthew) to be his disciple. Immediately after Jesus called Matthew to be his disciple, Jesus went to Matthew's house for dinner. A bunch of sinners and tax-collectors went over to have dinner with Jesus. The scribes didn't like that, but Jesus gives the clearest explanation as to why he was eating with sinners. 
 
This teaching is part of a series that is a Men's Bible Study based on The Gospel of Mark. This teaching focuses on Mark 2:13-17, where we find out that Jesus eats with sinners.

This video is a Bible Study about "doubting" Thomas in John 20:24-29. If your faith in Jesus has ever gone through a moment of doubt, this video will help you understand that Jesus doesn’t condemn you because you doubted. As we walk through this passage, I point out two key insights that I know will encourage you and show you that Jesus doesn’t define you by your moment of doubt.

"Doubting" Thomas was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. He walked with Jesus for three years. He witnessed the many miracles of Jesus. He saw Jesus liberate those oppressed by demonic powers. He witnessed Jesus heal countless individuals of diseases and illnesses. In spite of all he witnessed, Thomas doubted. 
 
When the other disciples told them that Jesus had risen from the dead, Thomas doubted. Not only did he doubt, but he declared that it would take an incredible amount of undeniable proof to get him to believe. Although Thomas doubted, Jesus did not condemn him for his doubt. If you've ever doubted what Jesus can do, Jesus does not condemn you for your doubt!
