The Rev Lucy Winkett looks at the stories that are unique to St Matthew's gospel.

The Rev Lucy Winkett looks at the stories that are unique to St Matthew's gospel, including the visit of the wise men to the new-born Messiah and the Sermon on the Mount.

As they celebrate the feast day of their patron, Sunday Worship comes live from St Matthew's Church in Westminster, London. 

Matthew was called from his job as a tax collector for the Romans to be one of Jesus's twelve disciples. But his fame rests primarily on the gospel he wrote to celebrate the life, death and rising of Jesus Christ. The preacher is the Revd Lucy Winkett who reflects on those stories which are unique to St Matthew's gospel. These include the visit of the wise men to the new-born Messiah in the stable in Bethlehem, and the Sermon on the Mount - some of Jesus's best-known teachings.

The choir of St Matthew's leads the congregation in the hymns 'We have a gospel to proclaim', and 'O thou who camest from above'. 

Director of Music: Nigel Groome. Producer: Ben Collingwood.
