Matthew's Narrative Framing and Purpose

We begin our study of the gospel of Matthew, which makes the point that Jesus is the greater Moses and has fulfilled all that God intended for the people of Israel. Jesus had one clear message: “repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

In this episode Pastor Joby, Pastor Britt, and Pastor Vinke discuss the genealogy of Jesus and how it shows us the amazing reality that God can use anyone. They also explore the ways in which knowing the matanarrative (the big story) of the Bible helps us better understand each passage we read.
