I'm working on Matthew today, figuring out the structure of chapters 1-4 for Sunday morning bible study. The text for the sermon is Matthew 4:12-25, but for the bible study, I'm teaching an overview of the chapters 1-4.
I think I'm going to look these chapters in terms of three questions:
1. How does Matthew indicate, within his gospel, we can learn about Jesus? [I found at least 6 indicators that teach us about Jesus. How many can you find in chapters 1-4?]
2. What does Jesus himself call you to? [I found 3 things; how many do you find?]
3. Will you choose Jesus? [This question reflects that we are actually choosing the man himself, not choosing just to follow him, or just to listen to him. There are many things to choose in life, but will we choose rightly?]
On this blog I typically post audio devotionals, Bible study notes or resources that I'm working on for use at the Otisville Church of Christ, where I preach, or short articles about ministry and church leadership. Occasionally I post a book review.
For more regular "microblogging," or to connect with me online, do so at Twitter or Facebook.
I upload and post my sermon from Sunday each Monday. You can find sermons and an RSS link at my Sermons page. You can listen to sermons online or download them in MP3 format.
Although I work for the Otisville Church of Christ in Otisville, Michigan, this blog represents my own thoughts and does not necessarily correspond to the views and workings of the Otisville Church of Christ.
