    This sermon addresses the question "How do we get into the family of God?"

    I don’t know about you but as the list of names were read today from Matthew, I was a little bored. I noticed some of you were too.

    Christians are accused of being robots who obey without question. Abraham was an obedient servant who was justified by faith, but he knew exactly what he was doing because he weighed the options.
