But do you ever feel like you're missing something — like there's a deeper layer you can't quite reach on your own?Maybe you've wondered:➡️Why does Matthew's gospel feel so different from the others?➡️What did it actually mean for Jesus to be called "King of the Jews" — and why did that phrase carry so much weight?➡️How do I study the Bible in a way that actually changes how I live?This week on Word Alive (Week 2), we're going deeper into Matthew 1–2 — and the picture of Jesus that emerges is stunning.We'll uncover why Matthew includes the details around Jesus' birth that he does, what the Magi's arrival really reveals about God's plan, and how one Hebrew word — shema — might completely reframe what it means to "hear" from God.You'll walk away with: ✅ A clearer picture of Jesus as King and Messiah ✅ Practical Bible study tools you can use this week (BibleHub Interlinear, Atlas, cross-referencing) ✅ A deeper understanding of the 400 years of silence — and why everything breaks open in Matthew 2 ✅ Free resources, handouts, and a reading plan — all in one place📂 Grab your resources & handouts: https://higherpursuitministries.com/r...Bring your Bible, a journal, and colored pencils if you have them.
