Sermons About Messiah
No Other Gospel
There is (another) crisis over the gospel. It is not a matter of semantics, but one that revolves around whether or not we are united with Christ and recipients of grace. Paul here reveals some of the basic elements of the gospel while warning the Galatian churches they are in danger of severing themselves from Christ through this false teaching.

God with us (Matthew 1:22-25)
Jesus Christ is utterly unique. He is the Name above all names. He alone is the God-Man. This is, in theology, known as the “hypostatic union,†which simply states that Jesus Christ is One Person with two distinct natures, One fully God, one fully human residing together in the one Person of Jesus Christ unmixed, unconfused, and undivided. 100% God & 100% Man, in the one Person of Jesus Christ, who from the point of the virgin conception and birth exist eternally as the God-Man. This is a mystery that exceeds the capacity of our minds to fully grasp. So here we enter into Matthew’s purpose: To establish Jesus Christ as the God-Man who came to Save (His people from their sins), Fulfill (OT prophecy), and Reveal (God to men).

God's Glory in a Genealogy (Matthew 1:1-17)
Though not usually seen this way, Matthew's genealogy powerfully shows he glory of God’s sovereign faithfulness and grace in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. To see this we will note I. The purpose of the Genealogy, and then II. 4 ways God’s glory is manifest in the coming Christ: (1) God is faithful to His promises, (2) God is sovereign over the nations and individuals, (3) God is a God of indescribable grace, and (4) Jesus Christ is the display of God’s glory.
