  The Book Of Matthew

  Matthew’s Gospel is centered on the inauguration of the kingdom of heaven. The message of the kingdom is first championed by John the Baptist, who prepares the way for Jesus Christ, the Messiah of God. In Matthew, we find that the only proper response to the message of the kingdom is repentance, faith, and discipleship. How will you respond? This fifty-week sermon series will give your congregants the opportunity to respond wisely to the message of the kingdom.
