Jesus called Matthew, the tax collector, to follow Him. In so doing, Jesus changed the course of Matthew's life entirely, making him an apostle and an evangelist. Matthew's account of Jesus' life and ministry proclaims that Jesus has brought the reign of the heavens to earth as the fulfillment of the entire Old Testament. The book begins by introducing Jesus as the main subject. He is the Anointed One who comes as the King greater than David and the Offspring of Abraham who blesses all nations.  Rev. Dr. John Genter, outgoing Assistant Professor of Theology at Concordia University—Nebraska and incoming Associate Professor of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 1:1.  “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

James opens with a greeting that sounds like a contradiction: count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds. The testing of your faith produces steadfastness, and steadfastness finishes its work so that you may be complete, lacking in nothing. If you lack wisdom, ask God, who gives generously. But ask in faith, because the doubter is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.  The Rev. Aaron Spratt, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Juneau, AK, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study James 1:1–8.  To learn more about Faith Lutheran, visit faithlutheranjuneau.org. Luther called it an “epistle of straw,” but then preached from it for the rest of his life as the Word of God. In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk verse by verse through the Letter of James, written by the brother of our Lord, the leading pastor of the Jerusalem church, and a man who thought Jesus had lost His mind until the resurrection proved otherwise. James writes to scattered Christians who are suffering, squabbling, playing favorites with the rich, and letting their tongues run wild. This series takes James at his word, reading him as a confessor of Christ who stands with Paul and not against him. Faith without works is dead, he tells them, and then he spends the rest of the letter showing them a better way.   Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
