Year A Focuses on Matthew's Gospel





At Distinctive Discipleship, we have been studying Matthew's Gospel. Congregations that use the Common Lectionary note that the Gospel readings for this year (2026-2026) are from Matthew's Gospel, as is customary for Lectionary Year A.
 
The Lectionary takes us through the Church year which begins with the season of Advent in November. Christmas lasts 12 days. Then comes Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and the season after Pentecost. 

The Year A Lectionary focuses on key passages from Matthew, including the Baptism of Jesus, Jesus' temptation, the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus' miracles.

Those wanting a dig into the Gospel according to Matthew are invited to join our weekly Bible study. It isn't too late! Here are the links to what we have studied to date: 

Matthew Chapter 6: True Kingdom Seekers
Matthew Chapter 7: Entering by the Narrow Gate
Matthew Chapter 8: The Uniqueness of Jesus
Matthew Chapter 9: Christ the Compassionate Lord
Matthew Chapter 10: The Apostles' High Calling
Matthew Chapter 11: The Messiah Brings Relief
Matthew Chapter 12: Greater Glory Resides in Jesus
Matthew Chapter 13: Perceive His Kingdom Coming

We will be taking a 3-week break beginning on December 15.

Have a blessed Christmas! 

Mary Barmore and Alice C. Linsley
