We have provided manuscripts of our lessons since 1999. These are available through the Christian Devotional website. If you are interested in them, click on the CF link.
Now, for the first time, we are excited to present this series on Matthew as Podcasts in addition to the manuscripts. These messages are given at our adult Sunday School class at Foothill Bible Church in Lincoln, CA. They are recorded and edited by Ken Leiplein, whom I thank for his work. We hope you find them a blessing.
