God was in a covenant relationship with both Abraham and David. The genealogy of Jesus reflects that, but following Jesus is a choice. It is a NEW covenant relationship based on faith.
Our family of origin often has a lot to do with how we view God and treat others. From the genealogy of Jesus, we learn:
- Jesus' family origin is far from perfect.
- God placed you in your family of origin for a reason and Jesus can bring peace to that.
- Even in the darkest moments or deepest pains, our family or origin can be brought into God's marvelous light.

Today we regather in the Worship Center for the first time since March 8. If you don't feel comfortable about joining us for in-person worship today, no worries! We will be livestreaming all three services! Senior Minister, Jay Scott, will lead us through Matthew 5:33-37 this morning. Jesus has a lot to say about keeping our word and the importance of oaths. All of us are guilty of saying one thing and doing another. It's a problem with all of humanity. Jesus tells us to "simply let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no.'"
