(Lucky Guess?) Matthew Corroborated by Josephus! (Tour de Scripture: Matthew 2)

Tour de Scripture: Matthew, Part 2!

This is the second in a new series of verse-by-verse Bible teaching that simply moves through the Scriptures while seeking to draw out some of the many treasures that lie beneath a surface-level reading of the text.

I will make remarks or give teachings, usually focusing on apologetics concerns (defending the truth of Christianity), but we also invite viewers to comment, ask questions, or even challenge some of what we present here, with the end goal being that we all come away better equipped to understand the Scriptures and with an ever-increasing confidence in the truth and reliability of God's word.

Thanks for watching!
