MATTHEW. With its emphasis on the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, Matthew's Gospel forms a natural bridge between the Old and New Testaments. While it is directed toward Jewish readers, it has never been limited in its audience. From the visit of the Magi reported at the beginning of this Gospel to the words of the Great Commission at its conclusion, the larger sphere and interests of the Messiah are clear. Throughout Matthew's Gospel we learn that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah, come to redeem His people. LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ.

In Jesus, God Fulfills His Promises
Throughout his Gospel, Matthew takes us back to the Old Testament over and over again to remind us of all that God promised. Since the Fall, humanity had been waiting, hoping for a way back to the Garden, back to life with God and God with us. In Jesus, God fulfills His promises and shows us the way. Matthew will walk you through Jesus' most famous teachings--in both word and deed--showing you what it means to live with Him now so you can live with Him forever.
