"Hark! A Voice is Calling Throughout the Generations" A Sermon by Barrett Owen

Matthew’s gospel opens with a very intentional genealogy. On the surface, it is quite boring, but as you dig into it, you discover it is anything but. Matthew knows what he’s doing. He’s opening his gospel by setting the stage that this baby matters. He comes with a grand tradition. And he’s its fulfillment and its hope for the future of God’s chosen people.
