The Compassionate King: Unpacking Matthew's Gospel

Join Rev. Chris Gordon and Dr. Steve Baugh (Professor Emeritus, Westminster Seminary California) for an insightful discussion on the Gospel of Matthew. They delve into the central theme of Jesus as the "Compassionate King," exploring how his mission wasn't just about physical healing but fundamentally about saving people from sin. The conversation examines key passages like the encounter with the Canaanite woman, the Beatitudes, and the Great Commission, tackling challenging concepts such as the difficulty of discipleship, the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, legalism versus antinomianism, and the authority of Christ. Discover why Matthew presents a demanding yet grace-filled call to follow Jesus, the Lord of the law and the Sabbath.
