Psalms are filled with truth that God's people actually sung together, songs of hope based on the truth about God and what it means to follow Him in this life. These realities are amplified even more in the person of Jesus so that we as His followers can be full of hope, hope that makes our souls sing.

The Gospel of Matthew is wonderfully complex and rich. It is structured around 5 major teaching blocks of Jesus where he is shown as the new teacher of God's people. There is also a strong focus on Jesus fulfilling many Old Testament prophecies and promises, hence so many quotations in Matthew. Jesus is also shown as greater than many OT figures, as Immanuel (God with us) and the King of God's new kingdom. To keep it simple we've named our series JESUS: the king who saves.
