Jesus’ Resume, Part 2

December 18, 2020

When most of us are reading the Bible, we tend to skim past the genealogies. They don’t seem very relevant, and, if we're honest, they can be rather boring. But God had a very intentional reason for including these lists in the Bible, and they’re actually really important! That’s our subject as Pastor J.D. continues our series called Upside Down Christmas.

What if things just get harder, or we end up losing everything? Sometimes, it’s easier to maintain the status quo. But Pastor J.D. explains that, if we want to do great things for God’s kingdom, it’s going to involve some risk! It’s the challenging conclusion of our series titled, Staying Faith.
