Matthew's Gospel is unique in that it was written by a Jew to the Jews to convince them that Jesus was and is the Kingly Messiah.
In this message, Nathan talks about the Apostle Matthew, his audience, and how he structured the Gospel to showcase the truth about who Jesus is.
And while this Gospel was written to the Jews, it has a powerful message to every believer.

John’s Gospel is unlike the other three—it is more intimate, relational, and passionate. John longs to his readers to believe and experience the life, love, and light of Christ.

Culturally, our identity is often wrapped up in our professions, abilities, or history. But as believers, our identity is to be IN Christ.
As Paul begins his letter to Titus, he declares his identity, in turn reminding us that regardless of our past, profession, or talent, we need to come under the authority of and be a willing vessel for God’s use.
