Matthew
The Introduction
So why start up a new series? Do I need another series like I need another hole in my head? Perhaps.
We moved to Kentucky from Oklahoma in early 2022 with my in-laws coming with. I started this series in anticipation that we might not find a local church instantly and wanted to be prepared from the jump not going to church for a long while. Keeping it all the way real with you: I knew my in-laws would be slow going to church and wanted to provide the word of God to them. 1
We did end up finding a church April and have been faithfully attending. It was God's grace I started this series and his grace, I will finish it.
An Update
I need y'all to look at God! What he started, he will finish!
I just finished teaching my first series at my church, Reforming Truth (Lexington, KY) and was giving some thought on what my next series will be.
Matthew seems as natural as the next step because:
- The end of Ruth is the beginning of Matthew. That is, the genealogy of Jesus.
- Still building on and running with what the elders were teaching through: Chad Bird's The Christ Key.
- Lastly, I prepped the entire book of Matthew already. I just need to write it out.
