Matthew 11:28-30 This week we will continue to make our way through the middle of the Gospel of Matthew and focus on the demands of discipleship.

As we continue to proceed through the season of Pentecost, we began what will be an extended journey through the middle of the Gospel of Matthew. The focus in Matthew 10 is on discipleship.
