Exposition of Matthew

About this series

This series argues that Matthew presents Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and sovereign King who inaugurates the kingdom of heaven by fulfilling the Old Testament, exercising divine authority, and calling a people to Himself. Through sequential exposition, the series demonstrates that authentic discipleship requires a righteousness that exceeds external religiosity—a transformation of the heart manifesting in repentance, worship, humility, and love for enemies—while warning that those who reject Christ, cling to religious self-deception, or refuse to forgive face severe judgment. Ultimately, the series presses the congregation to rest in Christ's finished work, to pursue kingdom living that mirrors the character of their heavenly Father, and to order their relationships, prayers, and priorities around the lordship of the One who is greater than Jonah, Solomon, and the Sabbath.
