Pastor Bart continues the Family Tree series by showing how Matthew’s genealogy points to Jesus as the Son of David, the promised King Israel waited for. God made a covenant with David that one of his descendants would reign forever. Even when the kingdom fell and hope seemed gone, the prophets pointed toward a coming King who would restore what was broken. Matthew announces that Jesus is that King.

Jesus is our Shepherd King who leads and cares for His people, our Warrior King who defeated sin and death through the cross, and our Returning King who will one day make all things new. This week we are invited to trust His leadership, rest in His protection, and surrender what we try to control.
