Today we are going to look at the “complicated”, not-so-holy, true narratives of real people like you and I, who are in the lineage of Christ. What I hope we will grasp – once and for all is that when God invites us to be part of HIS-story, it is NOT because of how great we are, BUT BECAUSE OF HOW GREAT and GRACIOUS HE IS!

Last week we learned about Jacob’s dysfunctional family in Genesis 30. Today, we will see how the attitudes and actions of parents and grandparents continue to filter down to the following generations, and how God continues to work amid all the mess, to make a way where there seems to be no way, for the lineage of the Seed to survive and even thrive.
