In this conversation, Pastors Erik, Cody, and Gavin discuss the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 14-20 – from the death of John the Baptist right up to Jesus journey to Jerusalem. Read the chapters, listen to the audio of the conversation, and chip in on the comments section below with your own thoughts on the Scripture and to these three questions:

1. What word, phrase, or story most resonated with you personally as you read this section of Scripture?
2. What does this swath of text invite us to as a community of disciples?
3. If you’re sitting down to read these chapters, what drink or snack would pair best with the reading?

For next week’s Bible Convo we will be discussing Matthew 21-28 – that’s Jesus’ whole Jerusalem experience including the death and resurrection texts; you’re invited to read that section of text and come up with your own thoughts on the the same three questions we used today.
