The Story Behind the Story - Matthew 1:1–17

Matthew opens his Gospel with a genealogy - a list many readers skip, but one filled with purpose and incredible grace. This message walks through the family line of Jesus, showing how God weaves together generations of imperfect people to bring about His perfect plan of redemption.

From Abraham to David, from exile to restoration, Matthew’s genealogy reminds us that God is faithful through every season of history. It also shows that Jesus steps into real human stories - messy, complicated, and beautifully redeemed ones - to bring hope to all people.

Watch here and discover how the genealogy of Jesus reveals the heart of God, the power of His promises, and the grace that welcomes every one of us into His story.
