Ever since the season of Ordinary Time (Cycle A) began in January 2014, we have been listening to Gospel readings from Matthew, and we will continue to hear these at Mass until late November.  Wouldn't you like to have a better understanding of this Gospel and of what Jesus did and taught?

Building directly on the foundation laid in the 24-week course, The Bible Timeline, Step Two in The Great Adventure Bible Study Series, Matthew: The King and His Kingdom shows how Jesus builds on the foundation laid in the Old Testament to inaugurate the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Experience how Jesus relived the life and struggles of Israel to become the faithful and victorious King, and see how the promises of the Old Testament are fulfilled in Christ and his Apostles. This series is an ideal follow-up study to the basic narrative of Scripture taught in The Bible Timeline Course.
 
You will:

• See Jesus as the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, the new Moses, the true manna, the new Temple - and learn what this means for us today.
• Learn how Jesus reconstituted the struggling kingdom of Israel around Himself and brought it to a new level in the Kingdom of God, open to all people.
• Witness the seeds of the Church in the foundation Christ built on the twelve apostles, with Peter as His vicar.
• Discover the roots of the sacraments, and see how Jesus? words and actions are reflected in the holy sacrifice of the Mass.
• Watch Jesus re-live the life and history of Israel as the obedient Son who trusts the Father to the very end, defeats death, hell, and the grave, and rises to new life.

 
*The Great Adventure: Bible Timeline or the Great Adventure: Quick Study are strongly suggested as pre-requisites for the Matthew course.
