The Kingdom of Heaven: Jesus’ Family Tree | Matthew 1:1-17

Описание: Before miracles, sermons, or the cross, Matthew starts with a list of names. This family tree tells a powerful story of grace, promise, and God’s faithfulness through generations.

Today at Alliance Church of Christ, we’re launching a brand-new series through the book of Matthew titled The Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew opens his Gospel in a surprising way not with a miracle or a teaching, but with a genealogy. At first glance, it may seem like a simple list of names, but it’s actually a bold declaration of who Jesus is and how God has been working through history to bring about His kingdom.

In Matthew 1:1–17, we’ll discover why this genealogy matters, what it reveals about God’s promises, and how it points to grace, redemption, and hope for every generation. This message sets the foundation for the entire Gospel and reminds us that God is always at work even in stories that feel ordinary or broken.

Matthew begins by tracing Jesus’ lineage from Abraham through David and ultimately to Christ, showing that Jesus is the promised Messiah and rightful King. The genealogy includes unexpected people kings and commoners, the faithful and the flawed revealing that God’s redemptive plan moves forward despite human weakness. This passage teaches us that the Kingdom of Heaven is rooted in God’s faithfulness, fulfilled in Jesus, and extended to all who trust in Him.

We invite you to join us live, engage in the comments, and share what stands out to you from the passage. Let us know where you’re watching from, and feel free to invite a friend to start this new series with you.
