Series: More Than a Holiday

TITLE: What a Heritage!

Scripture: Matthew 1

I.   A MESSY FAMILY TREE  

Jesus’ family tree is nothing to brag about.

1. 1. 1. 1. Tamar- a (deceiver) who pretended to be a prostitute.
         2. Rahab- a (prostitute) in Jericho who hid two spies.
         3. Ruth- a (Moabitess), a Gentile.
         4. Bathsheba- an (adulteress), the “wife of Uriah.”

We would say, “(He doesn’t stand a chance)”

II.  A SUBMISIVE COUPLE

1. 1. 1. Mary was a godly woman living in a (godless place).  God will pick the most unexpected people, places, and things to (accomplish His will).
      2. Mary was a godly woman who questioned but then said, “(Yes).”
      3. Mary was a godly woman who was married to an (extraordinary man).
