Blessing Up

Every family tree has some nuts and squirrels up in there. Maybe, for whatever reason, you blush when you think about your family tree. Jesus certainly could have. The list given in Matthew 1 is not the guest list you would have imagined. And yet…each lived story became part of a tapestry leading to Christ.

The sermon today is titled "Blessing Up." Originally preached on Mother's Day at West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on May 11, 2025. All lessons fit under one of 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Families & Relationships.
