But Pastor Greg first draws our attention to some family matters. We’ll examine two separate earthly genealogies of Jesus, and what they teach us of God’s mercy and grace.

Christmas, B.C. | Jesus Before Christmas
Help us share the gospel in 2024! Some may make the assumption that Jesus was “behind the scenes” in the heavenlies right up until the moment He made His first appearance in the stable in Bethlehem.

We’ll see how the Son is coeternal with the Father, and even makes several appearances in Scripture before that first Christmas. We’ll see for ourselves. Revealing insight is coming our way today.
