In our Boys Only Club we have been looking at the reliability of God's Word and the fact that every word in the Bible was put there on purpose by God. Sometimes, however, we treat parts of the Bible as less important than others, such as genealogies. Who wants to read a long list of hard to pronounce names? What meaning do they have for us?
Well today, as we look at Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment, we will see that genealogies can be very important, and God knew what He was doing when He started the book of Matthew with one.
In this first sermon of the Christmas season I want to share with you some important observations from the first 17 verses of Matthew's Gospel. I hope you will follow along as we look at some important gems found in this list of hard to pronounce names.
