The Adult Ed Committee invites YOU to challenge yourself this summer by reading all 28 chapters of Matthew’s gospel in 14 weeks. Matthew contains more of Jesus’ teachings than any other gospel. It also gives us many ways to understand and appreciate Jesus: as the Messiah of Israel, the King of kings who will rule and save the world; a teacher whose spiritual authority is unrivaled; a healer; a miracle worker; both Son of Man and Son of God; the Savior of all. Why not join together with your family and church community, and take the challenge? Click here to download the summer reading schedule. A wonderful, readable commentary on Matthew is Matthew for Everyone, Parts 1 and 2, by N.T. Wright (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2004).
