Redeeming the Striving (2 Kings 22-23)
All of us strive for something (or even many things) in life. These are our hopes and dreams put into action. But what do we do when what we strive for doesn't come about?

Christ the Redeemer (Matthew 1)
Jesus's family tree is full of interesting people. But one thing they all share in common is that they are not perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination! As we step into the fall, we're going to be learning each week about how Jesus is the Redeemer of all broken people, starting with the ones in his own genealogy. Today though we begin simply with the simple fact - The Redeemer is the Christ, the Son of David and Abraham, and his name is Jesus because he saves his people from their sins.
