Incarnation (Birth): A Grand Introduction - Dave Teixeira

In this message, we will explore Matthew’s introduction of Jesus and how this seemingly boring list of names reveals the highly anticipated news of Messiah’s arrival.  Looking carefully, we’ll see that Matthew’s genealogy not only grounds Jesus in the covenantal story of Israel but also invites outsiders in by highlighting some unexpected and even scandalous stories from the Old Testament.  In the end, we too will be invited into the adventure, not just as readers, but as people who can receive this heavenly king and allow His story to define ours.
