Join us for a deep dive into the Gospel of Matthew, where we explore the genealogy's significance, themes of discipleship and Galilee, the centrality of the kingdom of God, the transition from old law to new, Jesus portrayed as the new Moses, and Matthew’s presentation of the Passion story. Discover how these themes resonate in our lives today.
