The Story of How Christ Established His Kingdom

The Matthew: The King and His Kingdom Online Access provides access to all twenty-four video sessions for this study. Online Access also includes a digital workbook.

Over twenty-four engaging sessions, this program explores key moments of the Gospel of Matthew through topics such as:

Matthew 1: Jesus, Son of David, Son of Abraham
Matthew 16: Jesus Establishes the Church
Matthew 28 and Conclusion: Triumph of the King

Matthew: The King and His Kingdom will explore how Matthew portrays Jesus as the true King who fulfills the Law the people of Israel have failed to keep and who introduces the new law that will accompany the New Covenant.

Led by Jeff Cavins and Sarah Christmyer, this program explains how Jesus is empowering us to a new level of holiness and shows how we must be thoroughly immersed in the kingdom of heaven on earth, the Church, to live it.

Note: Purchase of online access grants immediate access to the study videos and workbook for two years. If you've already purchased access, view the study online here.

Jeff Cavins

Author

Jeff Cavins is recognized both nationally and internationally as one of the most effective and engaging speakers in the Church today. Few can communicate their love for Jesus Christ with as much zeal, clarity, and enthusiasm as Jeff Cavins. In addition to his outstanding presentations related to Catholic Bible study, Jeff is available to speak on a variety of other faith-formation topics.

After twelve years as a Protestant pastor, Jeff returned to the Catholic Church under the guidance of Bishop Paul Dudley. His conversion story, one of the best known and most inspiring stories of its kind, is chronicled in the best-selling book, My Life on the Rock. After his conversion, Jeff received an MA in Theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville.

Over the past several decades, Jeff has dedicated his life to developing The Bible TimelineⓇ: The Story of Salvation, a practical, interactive program that helps people read the “big picture” of God’s plan of salvation in Sacred Scripture and understand its meaning for their lives.

For 2025, The Bible Timeline has been refreshed with new videos filmed on location in the Holy Land, Greece, Rome and several other locations, and new presenters such as Fr. Mike Schmitz, Mary Healy, and Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio. The Great Adventure Bible Timeline presents the entire sweep of the Bible in a way that is easy to understand and genuinely fun to engage. As the foundational element of The Great Adventure Learning System, the Bible Timeline has revolutionized Catholic Bible Study for hundreds of thousands of Catholics.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Ascension Bible Studies

Who can I reach out to with additional questions?

If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-376-0520, chat with us by clicking on the chat to the right, or email support@ascensionpress.com

Can I stream my study videos on a Smart TV?

Thinkific may have issues streaming on Smart TVs. This is because Smart TV web browsers differ from standard computer browsers, and Thinkific does not support Chromium, which is the browser system used by most Smart TVs.

If you are having trouble loading videos on your Smart TV, you can try connecting a laptop or desktop computer to your TV using an HDMI cable and playing the videos from your computer. Many customers have found this to work well.

If you prefer to use AirPlay or screencasting from a mobile device, this may also work, as long as both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Unfortunately, Ascension is not able to troubleshoot issues related to individual Smart TVs or casting devices.

Do I need DVDs to run a study in person?

There are three ways your group could view the study videos:

You could watch the videos on DVD, gathered as a group.
You could watch the videos streaming from our Thinkific website, gathered as a group.
Each person could purchase the online access and watch the videos independently at home on the Thinkific website.

We strongly recommend purchasing the DVDs for in-person group viewing because this is usually the easiest method for volunteer leaders to manage and because the DVD sets can be reused later by other Bible study groups in your parish.

Does the online study access expire?

Online access to our studies do expire after one year (or two years, if you are using The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation, Foundations of Faith: A Journey Through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or Matthew: The King and His Kingdom). This access begins from the day you purchase your online access, or from the day you set up your access (if you are using a group enrollment link given to you from your small group leader).

How do I access the all-digital online course after I purchase?

After you purchase a product that includes access, check your inbox for an email from our partner Thinkific. In order to access your online study, you will receive a link in that email to create a free account with Thinkific and access your study.

You will then be able to access your online study at ascensionpress.thinkific.com.

(Note that if you have already created a Thinkific account through Ascension, you will not need to create a new one, but will then receive a link to access your online study directly.)

If you purchased multiple online course enrollments for your small group, you'll receive an email the day of your purchase with a link which you can then forward to your students. With this link, each student can create their account and access their online course.

Will I need a workbook to complete a study?

The workbook is an integral part of the study, containing reflection and discussion questions. To get the most out of the study, we recommend each participant have a Bible, his or her own workbook, and for studies that include an additional reading book, we encourage a copy of that as well.

What study materials will my group and I need?

You can choose the study materials that best fit how you plan to journey through the study!

If you are leading a small group, we recommend purchasing the program’s Starter Pack for yourself, along with a Study Set/Workbook and Online Access for each participant.

If you are journeying through the study on your own, we recommend purchasing a Study Set/Workbook and Online Access for yourself.

In addition, we recommend that everyone have a Catholic Bible and Catechism of the Catholic Church. We recommend the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition and The Great Adventure Catholic Bible, which incorporates the same color-coded learning system used throughout our studies.

Can I download and print out the digital workbook from a study?

Our online edition of a study includes a digital copy of your workbook. This workbook is in a read-only format, and therefore cannot be printed out as this is a violation of copyright and intellectual property law. This version of the workbook is also unable to save student responses.

If you would prefer a printed copy of your workbook and have ordered the online-only option in error, please contact us with your order number and we will be able to help you set up your order for the printed materials instead!

I felt as if I were walking with Jesus on this earth

From the very first Lesson I felt as if I were walking with Jesus and listening to Him as He talked with His disciples and called His apostles and dealt with the Jewish leaders of the day. Understanding that Jesus came to fulfill and Law and the Prophets, He came to do the will of His Father and He accomplished it and then gave us all that we would need to go out and disciple the nations. The beauty of Matthew's Gospel is that is filled with details and vision for each of us to become disciples in this 21st Century as well. I completed this study because I am about to begin to facilitate it to a Bible Study group at my Church. I can't wait to share it with them and watch them grow in the knowledge that it holds for them in their journey with the Lord.

One of the best yet! Well worth the

One of the best yet! Well worth the time will probably come back and do this again. Really great for church Bible studies. We take the gospel for each cycle and study it starting an advent. And very helpful especially for me preaching.

Mercy and love for me.

Starting with this first bible study, understanding each session and how it comes together is amazing. But for me, it caused me to want more and seek more knowledge and wisdom. Over time going into to Lenten /Easter and the Divine Mercy season's, I found myself practicing this season correctly and for the first time in 57 years. Along with 16 spiritual messages from heaven during lenten in the desert with our Lord, Jesus came and found me, brought me back to the Flock. Also having mercy & love for me. Thank you Holy Trinity and Blessed Mother Mary for your Love for me!

Our discussion group is enjoying the videos. However, a set of disks might have been a better option only because streaming during a group setting gets risky sometimes with outages and other IT related challenges.
