This sermon is the beginning a new sermon series from the Gospel of Matthew, dwelling on the life, ministry, teachings, and the finished work of Jesus. Matthew begins his Gospel with a long list of names as he gives us the family tree of Jesus. He uses the family tree of Jesus to demonstrate how He is the fulfilment of the historic promise God made to Abraham and David. He sent the Promised Saviour at the right time in history so people of all backgrounds and cultures may become part of the family of God.
