In this message, Stephen Sowell explores the chaos that so often surrounds our families at Christmas and the deep longing all of us have for peace. Through Mary’s story in Luke 1, we discover that peace isn’t found by controlling our circumstances, but by surrendering them to God. The Bible recounts Jesus’ family tree - a lineage filled with outsiders, messiness, scandals, and deeply flawed people. From the lives of these complicated people the Savior of the world descended. Jesus entered history to bring hope, grace, and redemption, not only to His family tree, but to the line of every family.
