Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Fall 2020 

Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a 10-week video study program and book. Anchored in the life of Christ as presented in the Gospels, this study explores the entirety of Jesus’ life—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, what he did for our salvation, and what all of this means for us as Catholics today.

Presented by Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Dr. Edward Sri, this study was filmed in the Holy Land so Catholics can experience the extraordinary world in which Jesus lived and taught—the historical context, the politics, the clashing cultures, the history, and the ancient land—and see where the most significant events of his life took place, from his infancy to his ascension.

This study shows, in a simple way, how Jesus, the Incarnate God, is both fully divine and fully human—his intimacy with the Father, his revelation of the Father’s love, and his extraordinary influence on his disciples, his followers, and even his enemies.

Most importantly, this encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life in him as you come to know and love him in an ever deeper and more intimate way.

In This Study, Catholics Will Learn...

• Who Jesus is and how he answers the longings of the human heart.
• Why Jesus was baptized.
• The significance of the Transfiguration.
• The essentials of Christology explained in a way the average Catholic can understand.
• The mystery and meaning of the Resurrection, Christ’s triumph over death.
• The nature of Jesus’ mission and the redemption of humanity.
• Our role today as Catholics in the Great Commission.

Matthew: The King and His Kingdom
Fall-Spring 2020-2021

The Matthew: The King and His Kingdom study program shows how Jesus fulfills God’s promises to Israel and establishes his kingdom on earth. Through references to the Old Testament promises of God to his people and the messages God sent them through the prophets, the Matthew Bible study program provides the key to understanding the rest of the New Testament and Christ as the fulfillment of God’s plan.

Matthew portrays Jesus as the true King who fulfills the Law the people of Israel have failed to keep and who introduces the new law that will accompany the New Covenant. In this 24-part study of the Gospel of Matthew, Jeff Cavins explains how Jesus is challenging and empowering us to a new level of holiness and shows how we must be thoroughly immersed in the kingdom of heaven on earth, the Church, to live it.

Where:  The study will meet off-site.

When:  Sunday mornings, ~10:15/10:30 am, beginning October 4, 2020

How do I register and purchase the materials?
