20 Proverbs 11-12; 06 Joshua 8-12; 19 Psalms 25-30; 66 Revelation 22; 40 Matthew 1-5

St. Matthew explains the surprising ending to Jesus' genealogy by relating the circumstances surrounding Jesus' conception and birth. The Holy Spirit caused Jesus' conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary, but Joseph did not know this. In his Christian compassion, Joseph assumed that a quiet divorce of Mary was the correct course of action, but he was wrong. The Lord sent His angel to Joseph in a dream to instruct this faithful man to marry Mary and give her Child the name, “Jesus,” thus adopting Him. Through this, the Lord brought about the fulfillment of His promise from Isaiah 7, and our Savior from sins was born.  Rev.

Matthew traces Jesus' genealogy from Abraham through David and the Babylonian captivity. Drawing from God's Word in 1 Chronicles, Matthew shows the way God has ordered history to keep the line of the promised Savior going until the birth of Jesus. Some surprising inclusions in the genealogy remind us that Jesus has come as the Savior for sinners of all nations. Hearing that Joseph did not beget Jesus, who was born of His mother Mary, sets the stage for the story of the Virgin Birth.  Rev.

Jesus called Matthew, the tax collector, to follow Him. In so doing, Jesus changed the course of Matthew's life entirely, making him an apostle and an evangelist. Matthew's account of Jesus' life and ministry proclaims that Jesus has brought the reign of the heavens to earth as the fulfillment of the entire Old Testament. The book begins by introducing Jesus as the main subject. He is the Anointed One who comes as the King greater than David and the Offspring of Abraham who blesses all nations.  Rev.

Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from May 31, 2026. Matthew opens his Gospel by showing that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, fulfilling God's promises made throughout the Old Testament. As Pastor Rick walks through Jesus' genealogy, he highlights the surprising people God chose to include in His plan—men and women marked by failure, brokenness, sin, and difficult pasts. Yet through each story we see God's grace, faithfulness, and ability to redeem imperfect people for His purposes. The study then turns to the birth of Jesus, where Joseph responds in faith to God's unexpected plan and receives the promise that Jesus would save His people from their sins. Through it all, Matthew reminds us that God keeps His promises and that no past is too messy for the saving grace of Christ. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, May 31, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to Matthew 1, where what looks like a simple genealogy becomes a stunning announcement: Jesus did not appear randomly—He came through a long, sovereignly woven story of promise, failure, redemption, outsiders, sinners, saints, and grace. Matthew shows us that Jesus is the rightful Messiah, the fulfillment of generations, and the beginning of a new family.As we prepare for Ruth 4, Matthew 1 reminds us that Ruth's story was never small. The Moabite woman who kept taking one faithful step after another became part of the line that brought Christ into the world. God still uses lifetimes to bring Jesus to the world, so wherever you are in the race, finish well. Let your life point to Him.

The gospel of Matthew was written with a Jewish audience in mind, pointing frequently to the Old Testament to show how Christ was God's promised Messiah and the fulfillment of the Law. Matthew looks back upon some 60 Hebrew prophecies throughout his text. Not only is He the long-awaited King, He is also the new Abraham, that is, the head of the new spiritual Israel comprised of all who follow Him. If that weren't enough, Matthew also shows that Jesus is the new Moses; He is the greater prophet, teacher, and deliverer born among Israel's brothers who gives perfect instruction from God.

"It Just Keeps Getting Better" Craig Ford, April 12, 2026

The King of the Jews—Matthew 1:1-17 1. What does this teach us about history? 2. What does this teach us about Jesus? 3. What does this teach us about ourselves?

A Complete Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew “Charles H. Spurgeon had a rare insight into the Word of God and spiritual truth. He was a prophet of wonderfully clear vision. He saw beneath the letter to the spirit of divine truth. He was both an example and a proof that the days of anointed eyes and anointed tongue are not past, and that the unction from the Holy One (1 John 2:20), which confers both spiritual perception and effective utterance, was not confined to apostolic times. “This commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is the latest and ripest of his life's labors. It will be found as a tree laden with rich fruit and evidencing a soil uniquely fertile and a culture that reveals a divine husbandman. We predict for this volume a larger sale than for any of Spurgeon's previous works, partly because it is his latest and has in a sense the aroma of his dying days, and partly because it is a simple, brief, and charming memorial of the most effective popular preacher of his age. Every page is, like his sermons, full of his Master and yet sparkling with his own unique individuality. They will be found to disclose many of the secrets of his power in discerning, expounding, and applying the gospel. The reader will find himself here keeping perpetual company with one whose soul followed hard after God, and who loved the paths where his Savior had trodden before him. “May the inspiring Spirit, who guided the evangelist Matthew in the production of this narrative, become to all readers of this commentary the illuminating Spirit also; and through these pages may he who is dead still continue to speak!” - Arthur T. Pierson. Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, February, 1893 About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.

What kind of king is Jesus? In this opening message for the season of Lent, we begin in an unexpected place: the genealogy in the first chapter of Matthew. At first glance it appears to be only a long list of names, but within it lies the story of God's promises unfolding across generations. From Abraham to David to the exile and beyond, every era of Israel's history points forward to the arrival of the true King.Yet this genealogy also reveals the surprising character of Christ's kingdom. Foreigners, outsiders, and the vulnerable are woven into the royal line, showing that the King who comes is not distant from his people but draws the lowly into his family. As we begin our journey through Lent, we are invited to see Jesus not only as Savior, but as the King who fulfills every promise and calls us into his kingdom.

20 Proverbs 17-18; 2 Chronicles 6-11; 19 Psalms 39-43; 66 Revelation 18-22; 40 Matthew 1

Sermon Notes Date: 02/22/2026 Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor Study: Matthew Key Text: Matthew 1:18-25 Description: A virgin conceives. A righteous man trembles. An angel speaks. And everything changes. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study through the Gospel of Matthew — where we are pressed to consider whether the greatest […]

Matthew 1:18–25 draws our attention to the faith and obedience of Joseph when God unfolds the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. As Joseph faces the shock of Mary's pregnancy, Scripture reveals a righteous man who chooses to show mercy rather than condemnation. God calls Joseph to believe what is humanly impossible and to obey at great personal cost. His humble response demonstrates that faith is not merely intellectual agreement, but courageous trust expressed through obedient action.   In this message, we'll explore why affirming the virgin birth is essential to Jesus' identity as Savior and King. We see that through Joseph's willingness to receive Mary as his bride and to name the child Jesus, the legal lineage of David is preserved, and God's redemptive plan advances exactly as promised.   Pastor Maiola challenges us to believe that God is worthy of our trust and obedience, even if His calling disrupts expectations, invites misunderstanding, or requires sacrifice. Like Joseph, we are called to walk in faithful obedience, confident that God is always at work fulfilling His promises for His glory and our good.

In our series on Matthew, we take a look at the genealogy of Jesus and how it is far more than a list of names. This list itself is a declaration of God's sovereignty, faithfulness, and saving purpose throughout human history. Unlike other Biblical genealogies that trace descendants forward, Matthew's genealogy deliberately points toward one person, revealing that all of history finds its fulfillment in Jesus.   Despite a family history marked by failure, scandal, and brokenness, Matthew's genealogy reveals a story of grace. Names like Judah, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, David, and Solomon remind us that God's redemptive plan is not hindered by human sin, weakness, or failure. Instead, God works through flawed people to accomplish His perfect purposes and to keep His promises.   Pastor Maiola's message concludes by emphasizing that through Joseph, Jesus holds the legal right to David's throne, and through the virgin birth, Jesus is free from Adam's sin nature. The genealogy in Matthew ultimately reminds us that our past does not define us, God's promises never fail, and that Jesus is the answer, giving us hope despite our own brokenness.
