Matthew 4:23-5:2
The Presence of the King

Matthew 4:18-22 dealt with the call of the first disciples, and their response to follow the King. “The Personnel of the King” showed us that Jesus' kingdom advances through ordinary people who hear His call, leave their old priorities, and follow Him together. Today we’re looking at Jesus ministering to the larger community of “ordinary people,” literal multitudes, as He moved about Galilee to teach, preach, and heal.
