“Claimed and Claiming as God’s Family”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb on December 28, 2025.
Looks at more Christmas and Advent related passages to extend the themes of the season.
Covers Ruth 2:4-12 and Matthew 1:1-11.
Genealogies can seem like dry reading, but in the bible, they can serve as really insightful examples of God’s character based on how different people are included in God’s identity that we might normally think would be expected to be relegated to skeletons in a family closet. When we see this meaning, and think about what that means for us that are also invited to be a part of God’s family, it can be transformational for our sense of self and how we extend belonging to those around us.
