What does the opening introduction tell listeners about the Bible‑in‑a‑Year plan?
Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day one of our messianic checkpoint, which means it's day 258 of the entire Bible in a year. We're reading today Matthew chapter one through four. Just, ah, what a gift. And I keep this in mind, you may have, up to this point, um, the first chapter of Matthew begins with a genealogy. And you might have always heard the genealogy and and gone through it and thought, well, this is just, these are a bunch of names.
I have no No idea who these people are, what their stories are. It says Babylonian exile. What's that? Well, you know that now, which is pretty phenomenal. So keep your ears attuned to that. We're also reading Proverbs chapter 18, verses 17 through 20. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit AscensionPress.com/slash Bible in a year.

Also, you probably checked out or maybe you already listened to the intro to messianic fulfillment or the intro to Matthew with Jeff Cavins that we recorded, which was just man
Jeff's awesome. And he has there's so much. There's so much in the Gospels, so much in the entire Bible. But if you haven't listened to that, I invite you to check that out because it might give a little bit of a context. You don't have to listen to it today if you didn't do it yet. It'll give some context though for the next few days as we journey through Matthew 1 through 28. But today it's day 258, and we're journeying through Matthew 1, 2, 3, and 4. Proverbs chapter 18, verses 17 through 28. twenty. The Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter one. The Genealogy of Jesus Christ. The Book of the Genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar.
