The Family of the King (Matthew 1:1-17)
/This weekend marks the first Sunday of the Advent season, a time of remembering Christ's first advent (i.e. "arrival" or "coming") as we look forward to his second advent. We'll begin a sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, which emphasizes Christ's coming as king to establish his kingdom rule over all the earth.
This Sunday, we're introduced to King Jesus through his family--and meeting someone's family is one of the best ways to get to know someone.
