Invitation to the New Testament

Using Matthew’s Gospel as a starting point, this study explores how the New Testament writers and the early Christian community wrestled with the coming of Jesus --  his life,, actions, mission, death and resurrection – and the implications of his arrival for their lives and their communities of faith.  Moving through the Gospel of Matthew sequentially, the overarching themes from this story of Jesus provide the conversation topics for each of the eight sessions.  Each theme is then traced through other related passages in the New Testament.

Who is Jesus and what is his significance for our lives?  Participants are invited to join this conversation, to study afresh this story of Jesus, and to Learn more about their calling to discipleship and to community.
