In this Wednesday Night teaching, I explore some of the literary elements of the first three chapters of Matthew to illustrate how Jesus' life from the very beginning was already shaking the expected order. We explore how people had their plans on how things were supposed to go, and how Jesus had a different plan on how things were supposed to go. I've provided the one page handout for the class and the recording is embedded below. Because this is a Bible study, you may find it helpful to have the book of Matthew open in front of you. Biblegateway.com is a website where you can find the Bible for free online in multiple versions. If you have an iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, or Kindle, I can tell you of some free apps that work well.

Merry Christmas!
