Hi friends. I'm Annie F Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first

four books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of

Jesus Christ's life on Earth, the friendships, the

sacrifices, the meals, the miracles.

Each month we read all four books, so go ahead to describe today.

Join us as we keep reading the Gospels together.

We get to start the book of Matthew today so buckle up for that genealogy. I'm getting better of those names here as we finish the year aren't I?

Here's how this works. I'm going to read three chapters to you and you can listen or read along in your own Bible and then

I'll pray and that's it and remember we are asking ourselves the question

what am I thankful for about Jesus today? Today is November 16th I'll be reading

Matthew chapters one through three and this month I'm reading from the C.S.B.
