Week 18 – A Study in the Gospel of Matthew 5.5
Lakewood, Washington
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
– Matthew 1:20-21, NASB1995
The SW Lakewood Neighborhood Bible Study is a Non-Denominational group of Christians from a variety of backgrounds who gather once a week to study the Bible. The group had an interest in learning about the Old Testament connections to Jesus and the New Testament Scriptures, so they asked Michael to lead the discussion time.
From April to September 2021, he took the group through the first five chapters in the Gospel of Matthew. In these studies, Michael taught from the notes of the sermons he delivered at The Front Range Messianic Community years ago. Each teaching had eye-opening moments and exciting revelations that some in attendance had never considered.
