Sunday Recap: Matthew 1:1-17 - The Story of the King

On Sunday we had the joy of gathering in person again and beginning our study of the Gospel of Matthew! We looked at Matthew 1:1-17, which, at first glance, seems like a very boring way to begin this epic gospel story! However, as we saw, Matthew goes to pains to demonstrate a very critical point about Jesus, namely: That Jesus is King! He is the Son of Abraham, a blessing to all nations, the Son of David, the heir to the throne, and he is the Christ, the long awaited Messiah! This news is good news for all the world! You can re-listen to the message here!

If you found the overview of the Old Testament a bit fast and want a little more of an overview you can watch another Bible Project video here.

We also began our first Starting Point gathering at lunchtime. We had an awesome time getting to know each other and exploring the Mission and Values of our church. It’s not too late to join Starting Point, so feel free to invite people along.
