On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the Gospel of Matthew, the main focus of Year A in the three year lectionary. They take up some of the popular misconceptions about this gospel, and how they can distort its proper use in the pulpit. Especially central is the place of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, and how that should shape our understanding of the rest of the story this first gospel tells.
