I have just finished a preaching series helping us understand the Old Testament book of Hosea and helping us apply its truth in today’s world. I have really enjoyed doing this, and I hope it has been of benefit to others. You can listen to the series by following the links on our website.
In September, I intend to look at Matthew’s gospel. Too often we just read stories from the gospels, without looking at the overall message that the gospel writer wants us to hear. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each tell the same story but with different emphasis. We will be looking at the message that Matthew is conveying. In doing so we will get to know Jesus, his message and the good news better.
I am looking forward to it.
In preparation for this series you might want to spend some time over the Summer reading Matthew’s gospel, allowing it to speak to you. One of the books I have used in preparing for this series is Matthew for Everyone by Tom Wright. It has 57 very short, easily readable chapters bringing to life the first half Matthew’s gospel. If you set aside 15 minutes each day over the Summer to read a chapter and allow God to speak to you, I know it will do you good. It will help this be a memorable Summer.
