We recently concluded our study of Israel’s ancient prophets, and starting October 4th we jump right into the story of Jesus from the book of Matthew. In many ways, the prophets serve as a perfect introduction to the life of Jesus, who intentionally modeled his teaching and his ministry on the message of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others. Join us as we listen with fresh ears to the man who came to the countryside of Galilee proclaiming: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
