Message: “Worship the King” from Matt Chapin
Matt Chapin - November 30, 2025
The Genealogy of the King
The Genealogy of the King isn't just a dry list of names; it's a powerful story of divine promise and messy humanity, revealing Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah, the promised Son of David, fulfilling Abraham's blessing for all nations. Despite scandalous figures like David, Rahab, and Ruth, and a lineage marked by sin, this royal family tree shows God working through brokenness, bringing the ultimate King whose grace welcomes everyone—Jew, Gentile, sinner, outsider—into His kingdom, proving He's establishing an eternal reign of justice, not just another earthly dynasty.
Scripture References: Matthew 1:1-17

This Christmas, our sermon series, "The Dawning of the Light," invites you to journey through the prophecies, promises, and power surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. As we light the candles of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love each week, we will explore how ancient Scripture foretold the arrival of a Savior and how that same light continues to break through the darkness of our modern world. Join us as we prepare our hearts and homes to receive the profound gift of Emmanuel, God with us, and discover the true meaning of Christmas in His extraordinary story.
