This sermon in the series, “The Announcement,” focuses on the announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ. The greatest announcement made to man was that God was sending a son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, to take away the sins of man. In Matthew, we are given the genealogy of Jesus and both of His earthly parents.

Throughout the course of the genealogy, we witness God’s grace throughout Jesus’ earthly bloodline. We also see how Jesus was righteously called King because He was a royal heir both humanly and spiritually. God’s grace was passed from Abraham, to David, all the way to Joseph and Mary, so that Jesus could be born, so that we may be born again. God sent His son to die for us.
