About this listen
Pastor Micah Krey explains why “narrative context” is at the heart of this preaching commentary. Rather than treating the Gospels as flat stories, Micah explores their narrative, literary, and historical layers, asking why each Gospel is constructed the way it is, and how the communities behind them shaped their tone and focus.
Mark writes near the destruction of the Temple. Luke speaks from within the Greco-Roman world. Matthew is rooted in a Jewish and Gentile community wrestling with identity. John’s high Christology emerges from conflict and boundary-drawing.
Understanding these contexts helps us preach more faithfully today. When we stay close to the political, religious, and cultural tensions inside the text, we gain more honest ways to speak into the tensions around us. And we open ourselves to being transformed by Scripture as well.
