BIBLE STUDY 2023
To coincide with the Year A liturgical cycle, the next Bible study course will be the Gospel of Matthew. It is offered in 2 parts. The first course is 5 weeks long and will go from February 1 to March 1. Part 2 is 4 weeks long and will run from March 8 to 29. The cost for each course is $20.
Standing at the start of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew provides a bridge from the Jewish world awaiting a Messiah to the emerging Christian world of Jesus and his followers. This Gospel introduces us to Jesus as the Master Teacher whose words of instruction are captured in large teaching sections. Part One covers Matthew 1:1–16:28, from the birth of Jesus through much of his public teaching life, to the first prediction of his passion.
Beginning with the Transfiguration of Jesus in chapter 17:1, the Gospel of Matthew continues to reveal through Jesus' teachings what it means to be a disciple. This second part of the study of Matthew reveals a growing tension as Jesus ministers around Jerusalem, is arrested, is crucified, and rises to new life. Revealed as Emmanuel (God with us) at the start of the Gospel, Jesus will promise his continuing presence as the disciples are commissioned at the close of the Gospel.
The course will be offered on Wednesdays at 10am and 1pm in the parish social space and at 7pm on Zoom.
