May 2021 Reflections

May 30, 2021 by Krisan Marotta

We’ve finished the first major section of Matthew’s gospel (chapters 1-4). We will be in the beatitudes for the next several weeks. 

In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you.

Reply back and let me know what you’ve learned from the Gospel of Matthew so far. I’ll pick a few favorites to include in next month’s email. (This should be fun!)

The WitW podcast was recently added to JioSaavan and Gaana, two of India’s favorite online music and podcast portals!  Welcome new listeners!  We’re glad to have you along!


May 2021 podcasts

13 Matthew 4:12-25 Early Ministry

As Matthew closes this first section of his gospel, he highlights the Galilean nature of Jesus’ early ministry. Matthew summarizes Jesus’ early ministry as marked by healing and teaching.


14 Matthew 5-7 Sermon on the Mount Introduction

In this introduction, I’ll contrast the different approaches to the Sermon on the Mount and explain which approach I take.

15 Matthew 5:1-12 What is a beatitude?

Before we look at the beatitudes, we need to understand what it means to be blessed, the nature of a beatitudes (Jesus wasn’t the first to employ them) and how Jesus expects us to understand them.

16 Matthew 5:1-3 Poor in Spirit

Unlike those who are self-satisfied and see themselves as spiritually rich, the poor in spirit know that they are morally bankrupt and nothing in this world can give them what they truly need. This knowledge is a core conviction of saving faith.

There are so many different ways to listen to podcasts, getting started is confusing. Here are some tutorials for Android, iphone, Spotify, Alexa, Audible, etc.

You can also make your own “app” to access podcasts directly from the wesite.

Please tell your friends about the podcast — but more importantly encourage them with something you learned.


What have you learned from this study? Email me through the website.  I’m always eager to hear from you.
