What's up, guys?

Welcome back to the Forgotten Jesus podcast.

My name is Andrew.

And with me today, of course, is Pastor Robbie and Candy Gallity.

How are y'all doing?

We're great.

How are you?

We're great.

Okay, Pastor, I have a confession and live on the podcast seems to be the best spot to tell you about it. Okay. Okay. Should I tell you now? Yes. Okay. With this season, this is my confession. We are starting forgotten Jesus groups. Wow. Have you heard about this? A little bit. Tell me more. Okay. Okay. So now, along with each episode, we're going to have a discussion guide that you and your friends can get together with and talk through more in depth. So pretty excited about that. I like that. I know people are doing some of that already, but this will be more official. Now it's official. Listen, what I love is that y'all gave us this idea and now we're implementing it

into the podcast. I love it. Okay, so pastor, where are we going today? We're heading into Matthew.

Okay. And we're continuing to make our way through the book of Matthew to see the main theme,

the purpose, I think, of the writing of Matthew. Okay. Which is what? Jesus is the new Moses.

Jesus is the new Moses. There it is. Look at it. Got it. Okay, now how do we know that? Well, let's go to Matthew chapter one, and I'll show you a little bit of what I think the thought process was of Matthew laying out the gospel the way he does. The first thing we see in Matthew, which a lot of us, if we're honest about our Bible reading time, kind of gloss over this first section. Not only this first section, but anytime we get to genealogy in any book ever. That's exactly right. Yeah. We think, you know, this guy was the father of this guy, and this guy, baguette this guy. And I want to show you over the next few weeks that there are nuggets to mine in this genie. We could literally spend months. I'm not making this up, months on this genealogy. Yeah, but then nobody would listen anymore. No, I think they would listen. We're not going to spend months. Well, if you think about it, it's just like ancestry.

Yeah, this is the original ancestry.

23 and me.

Which I love.

I'm all about that.

Matthew 1, chapter, verse 23.

Let's do it says.

Matthew 1, 23.

No, 23 in me, notice.

See the Virgin.
