Matthew 1:18-25

BIG IDEA: Peace comes when we choose obedience to God over anxiety and our own plans.

 

A PAINFUL DISCOVERY — PEACE SHAKEN (vv. 18–19)

Godly character is revealed not in our best moments, but when our world is shaken.

 

A DIVINE INTERRUPTION — PEACE OFFERED (vv. 20–21)

God often brings clarity after our obedience begins, not before. 

 

A PROPHETIC ASSURANCE — PEACE CONFIRMED (vv. 22–23)

God’s Word anchors us when life feels unstable.

 

A COSTLY OBEDIENCE — PEACE EMBRACED (vv. 24–25)

Obedience may cost more up front, but compromise costs way more in the end.
