The Gospel of Matthew

We began this series in December 2009 and will be continuing, verse-by-verse in this expositional series to cover the whole Gospel of Matthew. As The Rock Church we get our vision, mission and name from this gospel. Matthew 16:18 Jesus declares upon Peter’s confession of faith in Jesus, “Upon this Rock I will build my church.” Considered by many as THE discipleship manual, it will be our goal to learn about the life and ministry of Jesus, as well as how he desires to make us into disciple-makers!
