Decatur City Church

The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush, including the likes of King David and Lot’s daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God’s purposes marched forward.

Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus that wasn’t Jewish — she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. But neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way.

The story of Judah and Tamar is probably not one we would have mentioned if we were the ones telling the back story of Jesus’s ancestors. However, many times God’s story highlights the unlikely and the undeserving.

Andy Stanley introduces Billy Phenix as the new Lead Pastor of Decatur City Church.

None of us have perfect families, and we don’t get to choose our family. So why does God say family is so important?

Family matters to us and to God. But who is our “family”? And what does God mean when he speaks of family?

While we can't predict when miracles happen, there is a posture we can take that increases the chances of God doing a supernatural work within us.
