This year’s study, “Matthew: the King and His Kingdom,” will explore how Jesus fulfills God’s promises and establishes his kingdom on earth. The 24-week study of the Gospel of Matthew includes video sessions featuring Jeff Cavins, small group discussion and a personal reflection speaker each week. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of Christ as the fulfillment of God’s plan and discover what it means to live as a citizen of the Kingdom of heaven on earth.
