Home Stretch Matthews Vision Of Servanthood To The End Time

Mary Sue Dehmlow Dreier believes that our contemporary world desperately needs to hear the central message of the final chapters of Matthew’s Gospel. In this wonderful sermon series based on Cycle A lectionary Gospel texts, Dreier deftly uses clear examples to shed light on the biblical text. Her focus is on Jesus’ call to serve while at the same time keeping our vision on the promised fullfillment. Like Matthew’s community, today’s church also needs an active faith that is rooted not only in the here and now, but also the parousia. Readers will discover that Dreier’s insight into these readings makes the scriptures understandable and relevant to modern Christians – she has flair for communicating the gospel to the everyday person in the pew.
