Breaking the story up into parts:

• Those of us who will be hearing, or preaching on, the Gospel of Matthew this year will only be exposed to part of the story. The Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) has picked the “low hanging fruit” for reading in church on Sunday, as often happens.
• See the section “Matthew in the RCL” for a summary showing when Matthew comes onto the Sunday stage this year.
• I have made a decision to teach and preach systematically through Matthew so that my parishioners can get a sense of Matthew’s story.
• I will generally follow the divisions of Harrington.
