God’s Promises Through Centuries of Brokenness

About this episode

Luke explores Matthew 1 to reveal how the genealogy of Jesus demonstrates God's faithfulness in keeping His promises through history.

In this episode of Speaking Scripturally, Luke walks through Matthew 1 and shows how the opening chapter of the New Testament reveals Jesus as the long-promised Messiah. Matthew’s genealogy isn’t just a list of names—it’s the story of God keeping His promises across centuries, pointing to the arrival of Abraham’s seed and David’s greater Son. Luke explains how the structure of the genealogy, the details of Jesus’ birth, and the miracle of the virgin conception all declare that Jesus is the Savior and “God with us.” Whether you’re struggling with brokenness, waiting for God to come through, or simply wanting to understand Scripture more deeply, this chapter reminds you that God has not forgotten His promises—and He has not forgotten you.
