Wandering Toward A Lineage

How do we know who we are if we don't know our own story? If we don't know who we are, then how do we know where we are going in life? That's the importance of lineage - an essential part of our identity, but something that many people lack in our transitory, rootless humanity of the 21st century. But God, of course, has a solution. He has a lineage for every one of us, if we are willing to embrace it.

Deuteronomy 26:1-29:9; Isaiah 60:1-22; Galatians 3:6-14; James 1:1, 2:5-26
