The book of Matthew records more of Jesus’ words about his kingdom than any of the other gospel books. He commands us to seek first his kingdom (Matthew 6:33) and to pray for his kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). Join us as we dive deep into the book of Matthew and discover what it means for us as his disciples today. We will gather each week for a live teaching and small group discussions. Childcare is complimentary with advance reservation. Email women@sapres.org for reservations. Cost is $20. Scholarships are available.
