Matthew was a former employee of the Roman government, so it’s not surprising that he’s give us an understanding into what was happening in government at the time of the birth of Christ. Arriving at chapter two, he introduces us to a strange cast of characters. What we will learn is that much of what we believe about the birth of Christ is rooted more in tradition than in the Scripture.

As we begin our verse-by-verse study of the New Testament, the first thing we are confronted with is seventeen verses of names. This of course is the family tree of the messiah. And what we learn is that we are not exactly looking at the best that humanity had to offer. Join us as we discover that Christ was connected to great sinners even before His birth.

The Scriptures portray God as a God that leads. We find numerous examples of God leading nations and individuals alike. We serve a God who wants to lead us into His will for our lives. So, the question becomes, “how can we know the will of God?”. Join us as we see in Matthew chapter 2, God guiding a family into His will for their lives.
