Episode Synopsis

Our Sermon Series for Advent this year is “Ancestral Knowledge.” Throughout the Advent and Christmas season, we recall the stories and traditions handed down through the generations that shape who we are. We will hear lessons about some of the less familiar characters in the Advent story including the genealogy of Jesus, Joseph, and Elizabeth and Zechariah. We will remember God still calls imperfect people to share the perfect love of Jesus with the world.

This Sunday, Pastor Teresa’s sermon is entitled “A Family Tree for All of Us.” The scripture lesson is Matthew 1:1-17 - the genealogy of Jesus. At first glance, this scripture lesson may seem nothing more than a long list of names. However, the stories told through the names are a fascinating reminder that God is at work through the lives of ordinary (and even imperfect!) people.
