Use this >SM Media Package to enhance your preaching or teaching through the Gospel of Matthew as the disciple focuses on Jesus' Kingship! This is a FREE resource.
With Matthew as our Morgan Freeman, we are guided through Herod's attempt to murder Jesus brutally; if the king succeeds, the means of salvation and good news for all people, the Savior, is eliminated. Unlike Roger, who had a positive impact on WWII despite his failed attempt to escape, the murder of a young Jesus has no positive effect.
