SUMMARY:The Birth of Jesus Christ in Matthew’s Gospel
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Birth of Jesus Christ\nService: Holy Communion Service\nLocation: Fordham Church\nTime: 10:00am – 11:15am\nPreacher: Rev’d Francis Blight\nTeaching Passage: Matthew 1:17-25\nNotice Sheet: Notice Sheet – 21st December \nThis Sunday\, 10am (Fordham Church)\, as Christmas approaches\, we will focus on the account of Jesus’ birth in Matthew’s Gospel (1:18-25). We will find out about Joseph’s angelic dream which keeps him from divorcing Mary and consider the two names given to the Holy Spirit baby. \nThe All Saints Club will be running \nLuke Group (4 – 11s)\nMatthew Group (11-16s).\nA play creche will be available in the John Owen Barn for\nparents of 0 – 3 year olds to use\, including a livestream of the service. \nYou are invited to stay for refreshments after the service. \nOnline Church: Watch\n                (This will be available from 10:00am on Sunday) \n                \n                \n                Online Church\n                \n                 \nMatthew 1:17-25\n\n\n\n\nBible Quote\n\n\n1:17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David\, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon\, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. \n1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph\, but before they came together\, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. \n1:19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace\, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. \n1:20 But after he had considered this\, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said\, "Joseph son of David\, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife\, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. \n\n1:21 She will give birth to a son\, and you are to give him the name Jesus\, because he will save his people from their sins." \n1:22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: \n1:23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son\, and they will call him Immanuel" --which means\, "God with us." \n1:24 When Joseph woke up\, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. \n1:25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. \n\n\n\n
