A 40-Day Bible Study on Matthew
“Go therefore and make disciples” — Matthew 28:19

- Read and reflect on Matthew’s Gospel.
- Meditate on Jesus and the good news he brings.
- Pray through the Gospel of Matthew.
- Apply Matthew’s Gospel to your life.

Praise for the Planted in the Word Series
I cannot think of a greater gift to the church than a biblically rooted devotional series, which spans the entire New Testament. The Planted in the Word series will nourish the faith of Christians in a profound way for many years to come.
—R. Albert Mohler, president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kentucky
“This daily devotional is something I’ve longed for. It is expositional, theological, and practical as it walks verse by verse through a book of the Bible in just 40 days. With such an outstanding stable of contributors, it is certain to become widely used in the days to come.
—Daniel L. Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, North Carolina
I’m excited to place these valuable tools in the hands of our church members, knowing they will be well-equipped to grow in their faith.
—Jason Dees, senior pastor, Christ Covenant, Atlanta
