The King’s Triumph
“...All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." - Matthew 28:18
The King’s Triumph
Pastor Carol Peters
Sundays, Feb 9, 16, 23, Mar 2
10:30am-11:30am
Room B
The Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as the promised Messiah, the long-expected King. This 4-session class, taught by Pastor Carol Peters, will follow Jesus the King as He nears Jerusalem and enters the city on Palm Sunday. We will view Jesus’ final week with its dangerous conflicts, His strong denunciations, and His apocalyptic warnings—all through the eyes of Matthew. We will see Jesus endure the cross and triumph through it, boldly declaring, “All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Me.” What does it mean for us today to be followers of King Jesus, to give Him our allegiance, and to anticipate the coming of His Kingdom?
Whether or not you participated in the fall class, the Gospel of the King, you are invited to join us for its concluding sessions.
