Matthew Introduction (Part 1)

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg introduces the study of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that the church today does not always agree with his message. He asserts that being a Christian means following Jesus and committing to obey and follow his example. Gregg notes that the historical study of the Bible and the four documents written by people who knew Jesus, including Luke who was not an eyewitness, offer a good source of documentation for this purpose. He plans to explore the Gospel of Matthew in detail, verse by verse.
