Matthew 1:1-17 teaches us that Jesus is the Christ that the people of God were anticipating.

This is the beginning of a four week series on Jesus and Money. Week one looks at what Jesus teaches us about money.

There was a Christmas program at a church and a 7-year-old boy was chosen to be the innkeeper. When Joseph and Mary approached looking for shelter his line was to simply say “I’m sorry… but we have no room.” But being a good 7-year-old boy that didn’t seem quite right. He looked at Mary and ...read more
