Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more…Romans 5:20
These words of the Apostle Paul capture the theme of our Christmas Sermon Series. We are examining the lives of the women who are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1. Not only do we see God’s grace abound in their lives, we also see His grace abound in the scope of history as he sends Christ into the world.
Matthew 1:1-3a
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar
