His Dad Was God

His Dad Was God
Pastor Terry Wilcox

Matthew 1:17-18

Periods in History

1. Abraham to David
2. David to exile in Babylon
3. Captivity to Jesus

Hebrews memorized and passed on their history.

Knowing where you , why you , and where you  is critical to a joyous, productive life.

Jesus’ genealogy establishes that He is the unique  of God.

These three periods of history symbolize three stages in the  history of people:

1. God designed us for .
   Genesis 1:26-28
   Genesis 1:31
2. Humankind lost greatness by willful .
   1. “Whatever else is true of man, man is not what he was meant to be.”
      – G.K. Chesterton
   2. James 1:13-15
3. People can regain .
   John 3:1-3, John 3:14-17

Matthew 1:1-16 contains something most unusual:

Matthew 1:3 (Genesis 38)

Matthew 1:5 (Joshua 2)

Matthew 1:5 (Deuteronomy 23:3)

Matthew 1:16

Rejoice in  genealogy!!
