Lesson 1

So many people struggle with their past. They have lied, stolen, gossiped, etc. and they believe that they are just “too bad” for God to accept them The Bible tells the story of Matthew, a tax collector. He lived his life lying, stealing, and cheating people out of their money. People hated Matthew. But, one day Matthew met Jesus, and everything changed. Matthew became one of Jesus’ closest followers. His story proves that no matter what you have done in the past, Jesus can forgive you and wipe the slate clean. With your new life in Christ, you will do great things for Him. God will accept anyone who is willing to give Him their whole life
