  • The Genealogy of Jesus July 11 - 17, 2021
    The Genealogy of Jesus July 11 - 17, 2021 MAIN POINT Jesus is a real person from a real family who came to bring real grace, rest, and jubilee for those who follow Him. INTRODUCTION What do you know about your genealogy? Who is the most interesting person that you know about from your family tree? What would you like to discover about your genealogy that you don’t already know? What do you know about the ways your ancestors exercised their faith? Each of the four Gospels begins differently. Matthew begins with Jesus’ family tree. Mark begins with a brief introduction followed by an account of John the Baptist’s ministry. Luke begins with the details of the Christmas story, focusing on Gabriel’s appearance to Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus. John’s Gospel starts with a more theological introduction about the Word becoming flesh John( 1:14). Both Matthew and Luke included genealogies of Jesus, but Luke did not include a genealogy until after the record of Jesus’ baptism (Luke 3:23-38). In his gospel, Matthew wants us to see that Jesus is a real person from a real family who came to bring real grace, rest, and jubilee for those who follow Him. UNDERSTANDING READ MATTHEW 1:1-16. What titles does Matthew assign Jesus in verses 1 and 16? What is the meaning of each title? Luke’s genealogy goes back to Adam to emphasize the universality of the gospel (Luke 3:23-38). What is Matthew’s point in beginning with Abraham? What does Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus say to Jewish readers? Matthew began his Gospel with Jesus’ genealogy or historical record.

  • The Genealogy of Christ
    The Genealogy Of Christ “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham…” (Matthew 1:1) © 2020 David Padfield www.padfield.com Scripture taken from the New King James Version. Copyright ©1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Used by permission. All rights reserved. The Genealogy Of Christ Introduction I. The opening words of the New Testament give us the “genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham” (Matt 1:1). A. These words do not stand in isolation—they are the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. B. Matthew claims that Jesus is the descendant of two of the most significant characters in Bible history: Abraham and David. C. While most Bible readers today skip over the genealogy of Christ, Jewish readers in the first century A.D. would find this list to be of great importance. D. The Bible places great emphasis upon the ancestry and genealogy of Jesus Christ (Rom 1:3–4; Heb 7:14). II. The genealogy of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is often neglected, and yet it is of vital importance to those concerned about salvation. A. “Most contemporary Americans cannot give the maiden names of their great grandmothers or the vocations of their great grandfathers. They seemingly pay little interest to their family ancestry. However, it was not so with the Jew. To him, genealogies were most important. Among other things, the birthright, given to the firstborn son, involved a double inheritance, family leadership, vocational opportunities, and land ownership. That is why genealogies were found throughout the Old Testament.

  • Five Lessons from Saint Joseph by Randy Hain
    Five Lessons from Saint Joseph By Randy Hain 1. Saint Joseph was obedient. Joseph was obedient to God’s Will throughout his life. Joseph listened to the angel of the Lord explain the virgin birth in a dream and then took Mary as his wife (Matthew 1:20-24). He was obedient when he led his family to Egypt to escape Herod’s infanticide in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:13-15). Joseph obeyed the angel’s later commands to return to Israel (Matthew 2:19-20) and settle in Nazareth with Mary and Jesus (Matthew 2:22-23). How often does our pride and willfulness get in the way of our obedience to God? 1. Saint Joseph was selfless. In the limited knowledge we have about Joseph, we see a man who only thought of serving Mary and Jesus, never himself. What many may see as sacrifices on his part, were actually acts of selfless love. His devotion to his family is a model for fathers today who may be allowing disordered attachments to the things of this world distort their focus and hinder their vocations. 2. Saint Joseph led by example. None of his words are written in Scripture, but we can clearly see by his actions that he was a just, loving and faithful man. We often think that we primarily influence others by what we say, when so often we are watched for our actions. Every recorded decision and action made by this great saint is the standard for men to follow today. 3. Saint Joseph was a worker.

  • The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University
    The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon On the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University The Sermon on the Mount recorded in Matthew 5-7 is probably one of the best known of Jesus’ teachings recorded in the Gospels. This is the first of the five discourses in Matthew that Jesus delivered on an unnamed mount that has traditionally been located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum, which is today marked by the Church of the Beatitudes. New Testament scholarship has treated the Sermon on the Mount as a collection of short sayings spoken by the historical Jesus on different occasions, which Matthew, in this view, redactionally put into one sermon.1 A similar version of the Sermon is found in Luke 6:20-49, known as the Sermon on the Plain, which has been commonly regarded as a Lucan variant of the same discourse. 2 The position taken in this paper is, first of all, that the Matthean and Lucan versions are two different sermons with similar content delivered by Jesus on two different occasions. 3 Secondly, it seems almost certain that the two discourses are summaries of much longer ones, each with a different emphasis, spiritual and physical respectively. Whatever position one takes, it appears that the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew is not just a collection of randomly selected pieces; the discourse displays one coherent literary theme. The Sermon is introduced with the Beatitudes, which are concluded with a couplet of short metaphoric parables on salt and light.

  • Gospel of Matthew Matthew 5:1-12
    Gospel of Matthew Matthew 5:1-12 The King’s Sermon – The Beatitudes The Sermon on the Mount was the greatest sermon delivered by the greatest preacher. One Sunday after church, a pastor asked his wife on their way home, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” To which his wife replied, “I’m not sure about that, but there is one less than you think.” The Sermon on the Mount is the first of five important discourses in Matthew: • The Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7) • The Mission of the Twelve (Mt. 10) • The Parables of the Kingdom (Mt. 13) • The Childlike Nature of the Believer (Mt. 18) • The Olivet Discourse about End-Time Events (Matt. 24-25) The Sermon on the Mount became the foundation for all of Christ’s teaching and ministry. John MacArthur describes the main theme of this sermon: “This sermon is a masterful exposition of the law and a potent assault on Pharisaic legalism, closing with a call to true faith and salvation (7:13-29). Christ expounded the full meaning of the law, showing that its demands were humanly impossible (5:48). This is the proper use of the law with respect to salvation: It closes off every possible avenue of human merit and leaves sinners dependent on nothing but divine grace for salvation (Rom. 3:19-20; Gal. 3:23-24). Christ plumbed the depth of the law, showing that its true demands went far beyond the surface meaning of the words (Mt. 5:28, 39, 44) and set a standard much higher than the most diligent students of the law had heretofore realized (Mt.

  • “And She Shall Bring Forth a Son” Matthew 1-4
    Dave LeFevre Adult Religion Class “And She Shall New Testament, Lesson 4 2 October 2017 Bring Forth a Son” Matthew 1-4 “And She Shall Bring Forth a Son” Matthew 1-4 Introduction Matthew was for centuries considered the most important and earliest of the four gospels. It was the favorite of the Catholic Church because it uses the word “church” and because of the special commission to Peter, on which they based their papal succession. It’s also the most quoted of the four gospels generally. It’s fascinating to note that possibly not more than thirty days of Christ’s three-year ministry are recorded in the gospels, with an intense focus on the last few days in all four books. Matthew has most of those days in his book, but there are entire sections that cover only a single day, something that is easy to overlook if you are only reading small parts or from a harmony version. Matthew quotes Mark extensively—in many cases word for word (in the Greek). The substance of 606 of Mark’s 661 verses appears in Matthew. Some are also shared with Luke but not in Mark. That leaves about 42% of Matthew that is unique. Gospel Exclusive Common Mark 7% 93% Matthew 42% 58% Luke 59% 41% John 92% 8% The Joseph Smith Translation changes the title of this book to “The Testimony of St Matthew.” This change is also applied to John’s book but not to Mark or Luke, presumably because Matthew and John were first-hand witnesses of Christ’s ministry, while Mark and Luke got their information second-hand from other sources.

  • The Magi & the Messiah Matthew 2:1-12 the Magicians…
    Kingdom: A Journey Through Matthew The Magi & The Messiah Dr. David Platt December 18, 2011 The Magi & The Messiah Matthew 2:1-12 If you have a Bible, and I hope you do, let me invite you to open with me to Matthew 2 and pull out those notes that you received in your Worship Guide when you came in. Matthew 2. We’re going to look at verses 1 through 12. I want to continue a trend tonight that I began last week—trying to debunk all the lies that we often sing in Christmas carols. Heather told me that I have a knack for ruining things at Christmas. I’m really not trying to be a Grinch here—just trying to expose a little truth. So Silent Night, Holy Night—not true. Neither is Away in a Manger. “The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.” Also a farce. When was the last time you saw a newborn baby wake up next to a cow and not be a bit bothered by that? Hey, let’s be real. So I’ve got a couple other songs that I’d like to obliterate with the Word of God tonight so…Those will come as we get into the text. But in all seriousness, I want us to see that singing is an absolutely proper response to the birth of Jesus. Song and praise and worship and surrender and sacrificial offering—all of these things are very appropriate responses to the birth of Jesus.
