Matthew 19 Discussion

Описание: What if the way you run your home is the clearest window into your allegiance to Jesus? We walk through Matthew 19 and trace a bold through-line: covenant marriage, children welcomed and blessed, money dethroned, and discipleship that costs something real. The Pharisees arrive with a legal question about divorce, and Jesus answers with creation’s design—marriage as a covenant God joins, not a contract we negotiate. Parents bring their kids, the disciples try to push them away, and Jesus literally reaches out, blessing the little ones and reminding us that the kingdom belongs to the humble, not the high-status.

From there, the rich young ruler steps into the scene, confident in his record yet captive to his wealth. Our conversation gets honest about the grip money can have on our identity and courage, and why Jesus presses the tender spot: sell, give, follow. We contrast the ruler’s sadness with the disciples who left their boats and livelihoods, and we sit with Jesus’ promise that with man salvation is impossible, but with God all things are possible—even for the hardest heart. Along the way, we draw a practical picture of a household as a “little commonwealth”: a place that honors marriage vows, treats children as blessings, and keeps wealth in its proper place as a tool for love and mission, never a master.

You’ll come away with clear applications: uphold the sanctity of your vows, model repentance and restoration in front of your kids, loosen your grip on money through real generosity, and hold even good gifts with open hands under Christ’s call. If you’ve felt tension between family responsibilities and wholehearted discipleship, this conversation offers both challenge and hope.
