About this listen
As we begin a new series in the Gospel of Matthew, Alex opens with what can feel like an unexpected starting point: a genealogy. From Matthew 1:1–17, we discover why these names matter and how they proclaim God’s good news. This passage introduces Jesus as the promised Messiah — the Son of David and the Son of Abraham — showing the fulfilment of God’s long-standing promises and the continuity between the Old and New Testaments.
Alex explores what a Gospel really is, why Matthew wrote to a Jewish audience, and how the structure of this book helps us understand the life, mission, and kingdom of Jesus. Along the way, we see a powerful truth woven through the genealogy: God uses ordinary, imperfect, and sometimes forgotten people to accomplish His purposes.
This opening message calls us to more than knowledge — it invites us to live differently. As citizens of God’s kingdom, we are called to a transformed lifestyle, missional living, growing together as a community, and living in hope of Christ’s return. Jesus is still calling people into His family — and the story continues with us.
