Part 2 - "Israel's Response to the King - 1" (Matthew 4-10) - We look at a simple outline of Matthew's gospel, noting the nature of Jesus' ministry as seen in Matthew 4:12-25), the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5-7, the miracles of Jesus in Matthew 8-10, and the responses of the people of Israel to the King in Matthew 11-18. In this lesson, we focus on their response to His teaching and begin looking at their response to His miraculous works.
In this series, we study Jesus' use of parables as a teaching tool, looking at how and why Jesus used parables, as well as examining the major parables recorded in the synoptic gospels.
