The Unfolding Plan of God

Matthew 1:1-11, 16-17

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,

    to us a son is given,

    and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

God uses imperfect people for his perfect purposes.

The legacy you leave is more important than the heritage you received. 

The genealogy of Jesus points to the fact that we all need a savior.

In Christ you are given a new start and a new purpose.
