Christmas with Compassion | Genealogy of Christmas

In his sermon, Marcus continues to highlight the importance of Jesus' genealogy as presented by Matthew by focusing on its messy and sinful lineage to illustrate God's grace. Specifically examining the story of Judah and Tamar, he reveals how Judah, despite his flaws and sins, becomes a significant part of the family tree leading to Jesus. The narrative showcases God's ability to work through imperfect individuals and emphasizes that who Jesus came from reflects who He came for—sinners in need of grace. Ultimately, Marcus encourages listeners to acknowledge their flaws and embrace the forgiveness offered through Jesus, reinforcing the core message of hope during Christmas.
