Honest Acknowledgement, Redemptive Healing

b"Come, Lord Jesus --- Matthew 1:2-6 \\nOn this, the 3rd Sunday in Advent, we continue our look at the genealogy of Jesus and the rich context it sets for the birth of our Savior. Matthew deliberately bucks patriarchal tradition and ensures his audience confronts the brokenness of even the legendary line of David from which Jesus comes. He reminds us Jesus's story is rooted in rape, betrayal, power abuse, and loss. But far from cheapening the coming of the Messiah, it actually sets the precedent for what Jesus is. Jesus comes into a broken world and has the power to redeem even the most desperate of circumstances. \\nConnect Card - https://lovechapelhill.com/messages/connect-card\\nSpotify: Worship with LCH - https://spoti.fi/32hAmgn\\nTriangle Prayer - https://triangleprayer.org\\nTABLE NC - https://tablenc.org\\nGive - https://lovechapelhill.com/give"
