An Ugly Tree in the Soil of Grace

There are a lot of folks facinated by their family tree of late. You can do detailed research, DNA tests, and a host of other methods to discover our "roots."  Not all of us are that excited by our ancestral heritage because our tree is filled with failure, betrayal, abuse, and emotional injury.  Instead of focusing on the familiar "birth of Jesus" theme at our Christmas Eve worship - Pastor Michael decided to focus on the Family Tree that led to Jesus.  Interestingly, we find that the family tree of the Savior was filled with a lot of rotten fruit and yet, it exposes the remarkable grace of God as a large cast of unlikelies are found to be nesting there.  If you have been wounded by family curses, this message is for you.  An Ugly Tree in the Soil of Grace.
