Jesus Saves Sinners PT 1

-

Scripture: Matthew 1:1-17

Sermon: Jesus saves sinners (up to minute marker 8:50)

Song: O How a rose er blooming


Fittingly, as we heard last week that the proclamation of Jesus as the Christ, the next sermon we listen to will be Jesus Saves Sinners. After all, the entirety of Christmas is that Jesus came...to save His people from their sin. 

As was the last two weeks this will be a sermon divided into 3 or 4 parts and below is a rough outline of the message and then some study thoughts/questions. 

Study the goodness of Jesus with me this day!

Jesus Saves Sinners 

People are often fascinated by their genealogy. 

It links us to our past, brings meaning to our present and pushes us forward in our future.

-What if we had access to the genealogy of the the greatest person the world has ever known?

    We do! Jesus genealogy is found here in Matthew 1.  It links our past to Him, that we belong to him in the present  and will reign and rule with him in the future.

Matthew's grand plan of his writing is to share the gospel by proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ, the promised one, the Messiah (See sermon last week). We see how all of God's promises are yes and Amen in Christ!

#2 purpose of the genealogy- Jesus save sinners.

3 points we will look at this sermon:

1) Jesus was identified with idolaters

2) identified with immoral

3) identified with the insignificant.

In saying this Matthew is saying, Jesus saves idolaters, immoral and the insignificant. 


Thoughts/Questions to ponder:

1) Has studying the genealogy of Christ given you confidence in who Jesus is? Do you feel better equipped to share the hope of Jesus and His saving gospel the more you see God's redemptive plan fulfilled through His birth?

2) Reverend Daniel Hyde identifies 3 groups- do you find the groupings odd/surprising/comforting/fill-in-the-blank...

3) How can you share the hope of our Savior with people this week as you celebrate the coming of the Messiah?!

To Save the World

 ADVENT IS HERE!!!! It is with this great joy and delight that we get to gather again in the Word of God and pause each day, soaking in the richness of just who He is and what He has done.  Each week Monday through Thursday the study will be published here on the blog- roughly before 9:30am. Every Friday I will link a sermon for the weekend to listen to to deepen our knowledge. I am using Allistar Begg's Advent series on this passage from 2012 for this (in case you want to jump ahead!) and daily our hymn will change. By the end of the season we have a pretty great worship list! This year we will be studying Isaiah 9:1-7. One passage. Parked. For 4 weeks. I can't wait. It's hard to gloss over a short passage if you are there for this long. We will mine the word for the glorious grace revealed in this Old Testament prophecy-that- this side of the stable we can hold tightly in all its unwrapped truths. As with previous studies- we will sing, read, and meditate on the Word. We ...

Isaiah 42 Video 3

 Listen or read Isaiah 42 before your press play! Familiarize yourself with the passage. Pick a verse or 2 to either memorize or write out this week. VIDEO 3 The outline of the video to follow along with or print and take notes: Verse 1 Behold or look...at a servant The illustration used for us today would be perhaps someone you overlook, whether it be a grocery stocker or housekeeping. (To which I had to laugh because within our own home, 2 of us do as such for work) God says, this overlooked one, this servants is: Whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. -He is the Servant of God -God upholds Him making it impossible to fail at the task at hand. *Economy of redemption -truly a man representative of a real people Isaiah 11:2 the Spirit of:        -the Lord will rest on Him       -wisdom and understanding       -counsel and strength     -knowledge and the fear of the Lord Ephesians 1 God choosing t...

A small walk through Servant Songs

-
 Hello! This blog for our Lentish series this year will look different. It will essentially serve as a study guide to the videos provided by Media Gratiae so that we can spend time studying into the Word. This series is beautifully done- primarily because of the exaltation of Christ. He is the Crown Jewel as well as the Sacrificial Lamb. We will learn to see him as both and can watch as the prophecies unfold.  Without further explanation...here is the outline for this week! Study along with me?! CONTEXT *watch the video first just to hear it- follow through a 2nd or 3rd time with the outline at your own pace through the week so you can use the outline to take notes.   Context: Order of the 4 Songs This is a picture of Christ! The coming Messiah! Isaiah 42 serves to explain the coming Christ Isaiah 49, 50 build on this Isaiah 53 Is the song of the Cross which builds on the first 3 Essential to this study: try not to interpret the prophet- otherwise you become the teacher a...
