Matthew For You
“Matthew’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus, Immanuel, God with us, Israel’s Messiah and the hope of all nations. If you are a Christian, this is the story of your Savior-King. Matthew’s Gospel is something of a training manual to show you how you can live within this wonderful story.”
Unpacking the Gospel, pastor and theologian Tim Chester helps readers to follow the contours of Matthew’s writing, seeing how Jesus fulfils the Old Testament, what membership of his kingdom looks like in our lives, and how the hope of Jesus is for the whole of the world.
God’s Word For You resources are accessible commentaries. They are designed for devotional reading or teaching prep, or to help you dig deeper into the Bible. Each commentary offers expository reflections on a book of the Bible and includes straightforward insights into history, culture and more.

Enjoying Jesus : Experience The Presence And Kindness Of The Son Of God In
We know Jesus has saved us. We know we need to trust him. But too often there’s little sense of a lived experience of him–of enjoying him and being a joy to him, of loving him and being loved by him, of interacting with him as we walk through each day.
In Enjoying Jesus, Tim Chester explores how Jesus acted and interacted with people in Luke’s Gospel and how, through his Spirit, we can experience the joy of Jesus’ presence and companionship in our day-to-day lives.
This book is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with Jesus, especially those who feel disconnected from God or those going through the motions of the Christian life without joy. It will also help new Christians who want to understand how Jesus is with them by his Spirit.
Each chapter includes reflection questions and practical suggestions on how to experience a close, joyful relationship with Jesus. The accompanying discussion guide makes this a useful resource for small groups.
Our Radiant Redeemer
This devotional looks at the transfiguration of Jesus in depth, giving readers a glorious lens through which to view Jesus during Lent and Easter.
Tim Chester says:
“The transfiguration is a light that illuminates the meaning of the cross and resurrection. As we look deeper, we’ll discover that it’s not just Jesus who is transfigured. His promise is that we, too, can be transfigured by the light he brings to our lives.”
As we see Jesus in all his glory, we will be reminded of how marvellous he is and how brilliant our future with him will be. We will be moved to worship Jesus with our whole lives, giving thanks for all that he is and all that he has done.
Each of the devotions includes prompts to reflect and pray.
