Summary

Welcome to the Gospel in a Year on the Catholic Sprouts Podcast. This year we will walk together through all 4 Gospels.

We will be reading the Gospels as they appear in the Bible, so that means we are starting with Mathew! Before we begin reading from the Gospel, we are going to spend this week understanding the author, audience, and themes in Matthew's Gospel.

In this episode we explore how the Kingdom of Heaven asks us to repent, build the Church, and long for heaven.

To get the most out of this journey through the Gospels, we suggest you do the following two things to prepare:

1 PRINT THE GOSPEL IN A YEAR NOTEBOOK. It's free and ready for you right here -->http://catholicsprouts.com/the-gospels-in-a-year-on-the-catholic-sprouts-podcast

2 LOCATE A BIBLE! We will be reading from the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE), so that is the best translation to follow along with for young Catholics. However, if you have older Catholics, it's fun to follow along in another great Catholic translation (we recommend either the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (RSV-CE) and the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE)).

Thank you for joining us!

Come Lord Jesus!

0:52.8	Yesterday we talked about what the Jews maybe thought was coming as the Messiah, based on their reading of the Old Testament and how Matthew will walk us all through these verses from the Old Testament to show that Jesus is the Messiah, the divine king, come to establish the kingdom of heaven. Today we are going to continue to look at the kingdom of
1:11.6	heaven and three ways that this has a challenge for us, even now, living in the modern world.
1:21.2	But before we dive into that, please join me in prayer. In the name of the Father and of the
1:26.7	Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
1:30.8	Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
1:38.0	Send forth your spirit and they shall be created and you will renew the face of the earth. Amen. In the name of the Father and of the Son
1:48.3	and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Okay, so the kingdom of heaven. We are going to talk about this in three ways.
1:57.6	Remember, the gospel is a book that is alive and active. God will challenge you to repent,
2:05.2	to belong more fully to him, and to go and evangelize, because that is what the evangelist did.
2:11.9	That is what Jesus asked people who knew him to do. And it's what it means to be a Christian.
2:18.5	So when we read this, when we hear about the kingdom of heaven, it has three distinct
