The 2023 devotional series explores how Matthew's gospel sheds light on Christ in the Old Testament. These daily messages are intended to bring inspiration and insight as we appreciate the amazing sensitivity and depth shown in Matthew.
The first 5 talks are public. To continue listening, you'll need to log in (as a website member). The final 4 talks summarize what we've learned, teach us about the apostle / evangelist Matthew, include a list of key verses in this gospel, and offer a quiz to test your knowledge.
The messages begin on 1 January 2023. You can access them from this page—though not in advance. (For example, Prism 05 is live on the 5th; Prism 31 on the 31st.)
