Matthew 1: The Genealogy of Christ From Abraham to David
Matthew, also called Levi, was a tax collector in Capernaum whom Christ called to follow Him. This study opens Matthew 1 with Joseph’s lineage of Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham—the record of Christ’s human nature from the covenant with Abraham through Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Perez, and the royal house that reaches King David.
Walk the names in order: Abraham and the eternal covenant; Isaac the son of promise; Jacob, renamed Israel; Judah and the scepter that would not depart; Perez through Bethlehem; Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, and prince Nahshon of Judah; Salmon and Rahab; Boaz the kinsman-redeemer and Ruth the Moabitess; Obed, Jesse, and David the king. See why ten generations from Perez to David mark the completeness of Judah’s royal promise, and why Christ is called the Root of Jesse and the Root of David.

And let us consider one another in stirring up love and proper works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves, just as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more as we see the day approaching (Hebrews chapter 10:24–25).
In a world that often pulls us toward isolation, coming together face-to-face provides encouragement, clarity, and spiritual strength. At Word of Grace Studies, we gather because we value the opportunity to build up one another in truth, to stir up love and proper works, and to grow together in the faith. Whether you can come and fellowship with us or at a local assembly in your area, do not forsake the assembling of the saints, your presence matters—for your benefit and for the encouragement of others.
You’re always welcome to join us and experience the encouragement and connection that come from gathering together.
