101. What's In a Name? Why Jesus is called Jesus (Matthew 1:18-25)

How did you get your name? Today, we’re diving into the heart of why Jesus was given His name, and spoiler alert: it’s way cooler than just a random pick from a baby name book! Jesus' name is a powerful promise about His mission to rescue us from sin—a job only He can do. We’ll also chat about the incredible backstory of Mary and Joseph, who faced some serious challenges when they found out about Jesus' coming birth. Joseph had a tough time believing Mary at first, but don’t worry, an angel had his back and set him straight! So join Dave as he explores how Jesus' arrival is a game-changer for everyone looking for hope and salvation.
