Jesus came quetly without a noise. Just obedience and purpose. We are still a small group.That is fine. Eight people like in Noah´s Ark. That is enough to start and we are just starting out. The Kingdom usually starts small. Faithfulness comes before growth in numbers. Here is another illustration Jesus used: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32 NLT Thank you for being here.Thank you for staying hungry for truth. I’ve just added a new teaching video in the classrom about Jesus’ genealogy. Why it matters. And what it reveals about the Kingdom. Grace and peace to you and your families.

This week we begin by reading Matthew 1:1–17 — the genealogy of Jesus. Before any teaching video is released, we start by reading the text itself. What to do: 1. Read Matthew 1:1–17 slowly 2. Do not skip names 3. Read it as theology, not as a list As you read, observe: - How is the genealogy structured? - Where do patterns repeat? - Which names feel unexpected or out of place? - Why might Matthew open his Gospel this way? Questions to consider: - What does Matthew want us to understand about Jesus before telling any stories? - How does this genealogy connect Jesus to Israel’s history? - What kind of Messiah is being introduced here? You do not need answers yet. Bring your observations and questions.

If you’d like, introduce yourself here.This is optional — no pressure. You can share briefly: 1. First name 2. Where you’re joining from 3. One sentence on why you wanted to read the Gospel of Matthew We’re glad you’re here.
