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.

Matthew 2:1-12
September 18, 2022 • Paul Mowery • Matthew 2:1–12
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.

One of the clear messages throughout the Scripture is that if we refuse to do life God’s way, we are only shooting ourselves in our own foot. As we close chapter two, we are given examples of those who resisted God and those who submitted to God. Join us as we discover the different directions that those two attitudes will take us in.

As the days grow evil, many followers of Christ cry out for Revival, but what are they asking for? As we wade into Matthew chapter 3, we are seeing one of the greatest Revivals in human history play out. Join us as we look at what a Revival is, as well as how they begin.
Matthew 3:11-17
October 16, 2022 • Paul Mowery • Matthew 3:11–17
All of us should desire to be great in the Kingdom of God. But how do we define greatness? We come now in our study of Matthew to John the Baptist, whom Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist”. What is it that made John so great? Join us as we look into Heaven’s definition of greatness.
