Rick Lancaster - January 15, 2023
The Genealogy of the King – Matthew 1:1-17
Pastor Rick Lancaster begins a new series in the gospel of Matthew: The Savior-King and His Kingdom. Matthew started his gospel with a genealogy, which to Western readers seems odd. Rick explains why Matthew did this and why it is important to us. Matthew’s gospel serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew seeks to prove to the Jews that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah. For those of us who are not Jews, Matthew helps us to see our Savior-King more clearly and through his gospel learn to live well in Christ’s kingdom today. Rick is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel French Valley in Murrieta, California. For more information about what is going on at Calvary Chapel French Valley, go to http://ccfv.life.
