As we look at the women listed in Jesus' family tree in Matthew 1, we look at the beautiful truth that while we may be sowing seeds of sorrow, through the grace and power of God, those seeds can miraculously produce an abundant harvest of joy!

God promised to Abraham that his descendants would bless the entire earth, and we find this promise fulfilled in Jesus! As God’s people today, we are a fulfillment of that promise and a part of God's plan to transform lives!

Our stories have both Shadow and Light. What we think is beyond redemption is never too far gone for God. He loves the broken, and has a plan to restore according to his purposes.
