Three Sources of Hope

Matthew 1

• The Promise of a Redeemer
• The Pedigree of a Messiah
• The Purpose of a Savior

The Promise of a Redeemer

The Genealogy

• In the Old Testament, Hope is Personal, not Circumstantial
• Can God's Redemptive Work be enough for me to Hope in Him as my Redeemer?

The Pedigree of a Messiah

Son of David

• Jesus can work with Broken Stories, Guilt, and Family Histories.
• God heals their wounds in Jesus - Can't He do the same for me, with my deepest wound?

The Purpose of a Savior

Matt 1:18-25

• Immediate Obedience is Joseph's Protection
• Jesus Rescues us from our Sins. Can I live in that Hope?
