Confession is a practice that has fallen out of favor in our world today. But for Jesus, it was a critical aspect of prayer. In this message, Kory highlights the two prerequisites to receiving God's forgiveness--confession and our willingness to forgive others.
In this message, Pastor Kory shares the surprising message of Jesus' genealogy in Matthew 1:1-17.
Sermon recording from Sunday, December 4th, 2022.A study of Matthew 1:1-17.Thesis: The story of Christmas reminds us that we have a place in God's family.
Morgan started us off looking at Matthew 1:1-17 and compared it to the famous violinist who sold out a concert at Carnegie Hall and the next day stopped and took time to play in the NYC subway. Very few stopped to enjoy his amazing music. They had no idea who was in their midst. Matthew 1 is similar to this in that Matthew is laying literary art before us. To a Jewish leader, this is dripping with history, stories and beauty. This is rich theology and not just biblical genealogy. Many of us skim over these verses and pay little attention to the lists of names and timelines. We need to realize Matthew is telling of the birth of the Savior and Messiah. He is telling the story of the "greater Joshua" who will lead his people. We also looked at David and Abraham and their relationship to Jesus and how scripture was fulfilled. 2 Samuel 7:12-16 Genesis 12: 1-3 Both promises to David and Abraham are fulfilled through Jesus. Matthew is writing to a Jewish audience and yet his verses are filled with moral, ethnic and gender outsiders. Matthew includes women in the family tree and 4/5 were Gentiles. He also included a prostitute, an adulterer, a murderer and a man who sold his own brother into slavery. Jesus promises us a multi ethnic family. He commands us to make disciples of all ethnicities. Christ is not ashamed of sinners. He identified with them, loved them and served them. In Christ, prostitutes and kings sit down as equals. The gospel is deep and wide with sufficient grace for all of us. Jesus can also use you no matter what our situation looks like. God is calling you to be in relationship with Him. Jesus called and used Matthew (formerly known as Levi) who was a Jewish tax collector who collected from Jewish people for the Roman government. In Morgan's words, "He was today's Uncle Tom." And yet, Jesus sought him and used him. Sometimes in our culture we take a snapshot of someone at their worst and then identify them for the rest of their lives using that snapshot. Thank goodness, through grace, Jesus takes us as we are. God is working in the ups and downs of your life and can use you right where you are. You may not know your family lineage. If you are in Christ, THIS is your story. Are we extending God's grace to others and living under the truth of the gospel? Are we being inclusive and inviting outsiders to our table? God has a way of using unlikely folks. I challenge you to listen and see how He can use you right where you are today.
The purpose of the genealogies of Christ was to establish Jesus is legal and physical right to the throne of ...
Hey y'all! This is a bonus episode because we have gotten so much positive feedback on the first three scriptures, over the first three days, that we read this Advent season. The scriptures are from the Matthew 1:-1-17. Folks have been asking if we could edit all three days together, to hear the full 42 generations of Jesus’ genealogy as a whole- with each person being voiced by a unique voice. Fun side note, many of the people voice their namesake, or are Father/Son and Mother/Son pairs in real life as well! Here are the voices who made the Genealogy of Jesus come to life in its entirety through Matthew 1:-1-17 in the New International Version:Abraham- Tanner IsaacIsaac- Dr. Jeffrey BarbeauJacob- Jacob BarbeauJudah and his brothers- Pastor BrianZerah- Caden BohmerPerez- Brenden BohmerTamar- Zoey BohmerHezron- Ron AustinRam- Paul CalderwoodAmminadab- Sam CalderwoodNahshon- Dave MannSalmon- Chase MannBoaz- Sam JonesRahab- Dr. Beth Felker JonesObed- Carter GaulRuth- Leigh Ann GaulJesse- Pastor BrianKing David- David GaulKing Solomon- Steven NewellKing Rehoboam- Ben NewellKing Abijah- Danny NewellKing Asa- Andrew McCluskeyKing Jehoshaphat- Gray CicmanecKing Jehoram- Jimmy VercoeKing Uzziah- Danny JaniakKing Jotham- Lukas SchaafsmaKing Ahaz- Pastor BrianKing Hezekiah- Hezekiah JonesKing Manasseh- Ty CareyKing Amon- Eric OstensenKing Josiah- Corey OstensenKing Jeconiah- Pastor BrianShealtiel- Peter MaccabobbyZerubbabel- Michael MaccabobbyAbihud- Mark RewiskiEliakim- Carson RewiskiAzor- Chris MarraZadok- Lucas NewmanAkim- Travis PapievisElihud- Max CrisostomoEleazar- Sam JonesMatthan- Pastor BrianJacob- Jacob DomanJoseph- Rev.

On a related note, if you would like to hear another version of this, please check out Andrew Peterson’s album “Behold the Lamb of God.” The album tells the entire salvation narrative of God, through the lens of the season of Advent. We couldn’t recommend it more highly- it is an amazing album and will become one of your favorites! And on that album he has a song called “Matthew’s Begats” which he sings the entire Genealogy of Jesus! Also, Andrew Peterson and his friends put on a concert tour every year of the album live. This year, because of COVID they will have a Behold the Lamb of God Live Stream Event . . . follow the link to enjoy the wonderful concert with your family in the comfort of your home! Again, we hope you never hear this portion of scripture the same and are able to see God’s saving hand at work all the way through it . . . thank you to all those who helped bring it alive! Blessings!

Why does the news about Jesus bring joy to the scandalous? I. Because he's the Savior: his name describes his mission, v1. II. Because he's the Messiah: his titles describe his offices, v1b. III. Because his ancestry proves his qualifications: he's not ashamed of the scandalous, vv2-16.
