A Study in Matthew.

One of the adult Sunday School classes has begun a series of lessons on the gospel of Matthew. It's a big project, but we want to see the book as a whole, from start to finish. To help everyone get ready for Sunday, we are providing some studies on CD the week before. The same files are here, in print form. Following the model that we used for Daniel, there are explanations included for much of the book, gleaned from commentaries and other helps. And there are occassional stories, just for fun. The stories may jog the memory about the passage or its application, but they are very loosely connected to the text. Finding the connection between story and scripture may, at times, provide the reader with an interesting puzzle.
