Pastor Tim turns to 1 Chronicles to think about how the “dry” genealog is actually there to offer incredible assurance to us.
We tend to skip the genealogy at the start of Matthew—all those names, so many of them people we know nothing about. In doing so we miss something that matters deeply to ordinary people like us who wonder whether God actually works through lives like theirs.
Zechariah and Mary both asked the question we often ask of God: “How can this be?” As we think about the Spirit’s work, we understand better the answer for both them and for us.
The Christmas Story is full of a special kind of gift giving. But have those gifts been misplaced?
God has guided His People over history. As we look at that history, does it tell us anything about how He views us today?
