Scripture Reference: Matthew 1:1-6, 16-25
Every hero has an origin story! Matthew introduces us to this long anticipated hero by way of a genealogy and then a supernatural beginning involving a virgin pregnancy. These two avenues of introduction set the table for the kind of hero Jesus will be. He is going to be a hero that identifies with the broken and sinners and will save and heal everything that is wrong with the world.
Sermon Points:
- The Need For a Hero
- The People of the Hero
