02 Matthew 1:1-17 Genealogy of Jesus

01 Gospel of Matthew Introduction

February 3, 2021 By Krisan Marotta

Jesus claimed that “all authority in heaven and on earth” has been given to him (Mt 28:18). If that’s true, and I believe it is, then we benefit by learning all we can about Jesus. Matthew wrote this gospel to tell us who Jesus is and what that means for us.

Gospel of Matthew: Behold, the King!

January 27, 2021 By Krisan Marotta

Matthew gives us one of the earliest records of the teaching of Jesus. His gospel is famous not only for his use of the Old Testament, but also for recording 5 sermons of Jesus, including the Sermon on the Mount. Placed first in the New Testament, Matthew’s gospel provides the necessary continuity between the Old and New Testament.
