Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study
by St. John The Baptist, Boston
Welcome to our community's first in-person bible study/podcast, Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study. The goal of this bible study is to invite each of us to gain a deeper understanding of what it means for us to participate in the scripture and tradition of the Chruch, gain a deeper understanding of scriptural texts by contemplating them alongside those in our tradition who have devoted their lives to understanding their depth of meaning, and ultimately by asking the question of what do these texts have to say about the way we live our lives today?

A Study of Matthew 3 & 4
The Gospel According to St. Matthew | Chapters 3–4In this session of Make His Path Straight, we continue through Matthew Chapters 3–4, beginning with St. John the Baptist’s call to repentance and his role as the Forerunner who prepares the way of the Lord.We then explore the Baptism of Christ and the revelation of the Holy Trinity, Christ’s forty days of temptation in the wilderness, and the beginning of His public ministry with the calling of Peter, Andrew, James, and John.Throughout these chapters, we are invited to repent, follow Christ, and allow Him to transform what separates us from God, as the great Light shines in our darkness and leads us toward true life in His loving and saving presence.Next week, God willing, we begin the Sermon on the Mount.

A Study of Matthew 1 & 2
Welcome back to Make His Path Straight, a St. John the Baptist Bible Study! After nearly three years journeying through the letters of St. Paul, we return to the Gospels and begin our study of the Gospel According to St. Matthew.In this opening session, we explore Matthew Chapters 1–2 and the theme of fulfillment that runs throughout the Gospel. From the genealogy of Christ and God's promises to Abraham and David, to St. Joseph, the Magi, Herod, and the flight into Egypt, Matthew reveals how the story of salvation finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.Along the way, we reflect on how God works through the messiness of human history—and the messiness of our own lives—continually providing, transforming, and calling us toward Himself.Above all, these opening chapters remind us of the meaning of Emmanuel: “God with us.” The God revealed in Jesus Christ does not remain distant from our struggles but enters into them, meets us where we are, and calls us into new life in His loving and saving presence.Next week, God willing, we continue with Matthew Chapters 3–4.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Welcome to our community's first in-person bible study/podcast, Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study. The goal of this bible study is to invite each of us to gain a deeper understanding of what it means for us to participate in the scripture and tradition of the Chruch, gain a deeper understanding of scriptural texts by contemplating them alongside those in our tradition who have devoted their lives to understanding their depth of meaning, and ultimately by asking the question of what do these texts have to say about the way we live our lives today?
