Matthew 1:18-2:6

Pastor Bill McKee preaches from Matthew 1:18-2:6 on Jesus' birth.  Pastor shares these reasons why the Jewish people should have known that Jesus was coming: His birth was a fulfillment of 3,000 years of prophesy, His birth was a sign that God was sending a deliverer, and His birth was not a secret.  Learn that God gave fair warning of His coming, but they missed it.  We are reminded to be ready for Jesus' return foretold in the scriptures.

Let The Suffering Begin
