"Your Family Tree" (Matthew 1:1-17)

 

“Your Family Tree”

Christmas through Matthew’s Eyes

 

There is a fascination today among many people to search out their family tree. We want to know our history, where we’ve come from, who are ancestors are, what they did. Part of the fascination of this research is we want to discover more about who we are. What makes us tick? Why do we do what we do?

 

Genealogies are found throughout the Bible and when we come across them, we sigh, we glaze over, and we practice our “speed reading” skills. But the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:1-17 should interest us because in a real sense, we’re actually in it! This is part of our spiritual family tree.

 

We invite you to join us at Carrollwood Baptist Church this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. as we begin a four-part sermon series, “Christmas through Matthew’s Eyes.” This week we will take a look at some important faith lessons from Jesus’ family tree. You might just be surprised at what you will discover.

 

If you live in the bay area and don’t have a church home, we invite you to join us at CBC. We are conveniently located at 5395 Ehrlich Road one mile east of the Veterans Expressway. CBC is a caring, family-oriented, and mission’s minded church where you can thrive in your relationship with Christ. Look forward to seeing you Sunday at CBC for a life-changing encounter with the living Lord!
