About Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study
Welcome to our community's first in-person bible study/podcast, Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study. The goal of this bible study is to invite each of us to gain a deeper understanding of what it means for us to participate in the scripture and tradition of the Chruch, gain a deeper understanding of scriptural texts by contemplating them alongside those in our tradition who have devoted their lives to understanding their depth of meaning, and ultimately by asking the question of what do these texts have to say about the way we live our lives today?
The Gospel According to St. Matthew | Chapter 5 Continued
In this session of Make His Path Straight, we continue through Matthew Chapter 5 and the Sermon on the Mount, exploring Christ’s teachings on anger, reconciliation, lust, marriage, keeping our word, turning the other cheek, and loving our enemies.
Throughout these teachings, Christ calls us beyond simply following the letter of the Law and reveals its fulfillment in a life centered on love, mercy, and communion with God and one another.
Ultimately, we are reminded that we cannot perfect ourselves. Christ is the One who fills what is lacking in us, heals our divisions, and leads us toward the fullness of life in His loving and saving presence.

A Study of Matthew 5:1-20
The Gospel According to St. Matthew | Chapter 5
In this session of Make His Path Straight, we begin Matthew Chapter 5 and the Sermon on the Mount, starting with the Beatitudes and Christ’s call to be the salt of the earth and light of the world.
Throughout these teachings, we reflect on our complete dependence upon God and what it means to live as Christ calls us to live: with humility, mercy, purity of heart, and peace.
Finally, we explore Christ’s words that He came not to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them, revealing their fullness through His loving and saving presence.
Join us as we begin our journey through the Sermon on the Mount and consider how these teachings can shape our own life in Christ.

A Study of Matthew 3 & 4
The Gospel According to St. Matthew | Chapters 3–4
In this session of Make His Path Straight, we continue through Matthew Chapters 3–4, beginning with St. John the Baptist’s call to repentance and his role as the Forerunner who prepares the way of the Lord.
We then explore the Baptism of Christ and the revelation of the Holy Trinity, Christ’s forty days of temptation in the wilderness, and the beginning of His public ministry with the calling of Peter, Andrew, James, and John.
Throughout these chapters, we are invited to repent, follow Christ, and allow Him to transform what separates us from God, as the great Light shines in our darkness and leads us toward true life in His loving and saving presence.
Next week, God willing, we begin the Sermon on the Mount.
