MATTHEW 18
In February 2023 we welcome Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Gibbs, author of the definitive three-volume Concordia Commentary on Matthew, who leads an engaging study entitled “Wait ... What? ... Who is the Greatest? — A Study of Matthew 18.” Some parts of Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18 are well-known, and they stand out. Other parts of the chapter are often overlooked. But what happens if we read the entire chapter in its context in Matthew’s Gospel? Join us for this study that will invite you to joy, humility, and a new way of living together as Jesus’ beloved disciples.
Dr. Gibbs is a noted speaker, author, and professor emeritus at Concordia Seminary.
