In this Oak Hill College chapel sermon, theologian and minister Justyn Terry opens Matthew 1 and shows how Jesus is introduced as the Son of Abraham, the Son of David, and ultimately the Son of God. Through genealogy, Scripture, and history, Terry reveals how Jesus fulfils covenant promises, brings blessing to the nations, and conquers every spiritual enemy.

This message encourages believers preparing for ministry and reminds us that God calls, equips, and works through ordinary people to bring His kingdom into the world.

Whether you are studying theology, preparing for preaching, or exploring the genealogy of Jesus, this sermon offers rich biblical insight and warm pastoral encouragement.
