Theology Of Matthews Gospel
$69.99
A Theology of Matthew’s Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend, and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, “God with us,” as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity’s redemption. Matthew’s Gospel establishes Jesus’s identity as the heir to the promises of Israel’s throne through king David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus’s message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6). But, strikingly, Matthew’s Gospel also offers evangelistic hope to Gentiles, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Messiah is available to all the nations (28:19).
The book emphasizes the three horizons that comprise Matthew’s gospel: history, theology, and literature. The first horizon focuses on Jesus’s historical ministry. Here Matthew provides for us a record of God’s activities in history in the arrival of Jesus Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. The second horizon develops Matthew’s theological perspective for his audience(s). Here we attempt to understand and isolate Matthew’s unique theological perspective of God’s activities in Jesus Messiah. This is a central focus, emphasizing Matthew’s theological perspective of the Old Testament, Christology, the kingdom of heaven, discipleship, the Church/church, Israel (past, present, and future), the death and resurrection of Jesus, mission/commission, and eschatology/eternity. The third horizon emphasizes today’s reader(s) engaging with Matthew’s Gospel as literature. Here we attempt to capture the significance of the perspective of today’s reader’s understanding of Jesus Messiah’s activities in history and Matthew’s theological perspective for the contemporary church.
In this book we view Matthew’s perspective of God’s activities in Jesus’s unfolding earthly ministry. The alternating sections of narrative and discourse provide for his readers Jesus’s example to follow and Jesus’s words to obey. Therefore, Matthew’s Gospel is at least in part a manual on discipleship to Jesus Messiah in the kingdom of heaven. In the six Narratives, Matthew reveals Jesus’s true identity in his deeds, and introduces themes that will lead to instructions to Jesus’s disciples in the Discourses. The six Narratives provide the example that Jesus’s disciples are commanded to obey. In the five Discourses, Matthew rec

30 Days Of Praying The Psalms
$17.99Walk in the footsteps of a king!
King David is regarded as one of the Bible’s greatest heroes for one reason: he was a sold-out worshipper. Through all of his success, failures, and pain, David worshipped God with his whole heart. The book of Psalms provides a record of his songs to God-a window into his prayers as he wrestled through every circumstance across the full spectrum of human emotion.
David’s example is an important model for modern-day Christians, and his words in the Psalms provide powerful language we can use in own journey.
Psalmist and worship leader, Julie Meyer, has spent decades helping everyday believers encounter God through Davidic worship. By declaring and singing the Psalms, Julie has discovered that she is able to access that same open Heaven as David-a spiritual dimension where we are confident that God hears us (even when Heaven seems silent), we know that He’s with us (even when He feels distant), and that – whether we feel it or not – we can trust that the giant-slaying God of David is fighting on our behalf!
In 30 Days in the Psalms, Julie takes you on a prayer journey through 30 of David’s Psalms, equipping you with:
*Templates for powerful breakthrough prayers.
*Guidance for singing and declaring your way into an awareness of God’s Presence.
*Simple keys to lay hold of God’s promises for healing.
*Easy and comfortable language you can use when talking with God.
*The ability to make God your refuge through every storm.Like King David, Julie Meyer has seen every type of need answered by singing and declaring God’s faithfulness through the Psalms. Now, discover how you can see the same in your life!
