Of all the extraordinary women in Scripture, the one that stands out above all others as the most blessed of God, is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Most historians speculate Mary was no more than 14-years old at the time of Jesus’ birth which would make her about 13-years old when, out of all the women in the world, God sovereignly chose her to be the instrument through which He would, at last, bring the Messiah into the world.

    In Luke 1:48, even modest Mary said all generations would regard her as a woman profoundly blessed by God, not because she believed she was any better than any other woman, but because she was called by God and given such a wonderful privilege.

In his lineage of Jesus, Matthew identified four women we might not have expected to be there. However, each one gives us a different expression of God’s amazing grace.

Why did God send His Son to save us? He delights to display the glory of His grace, and the wonders of His love, to and through those the world considers worthless.

Two words always follow the name, Rahab! Did you say them? The Harlot.

Why would the Holy Spirit inspire Matthew to include her name in the lineage of Jesus Christ?

This is the introductory sermon on the FIVE WOMEN IN THE LINEAGE OF JESUS. We begin with Tamar, a Canaanite woman who pretended to be a prostitute and became involved in incest. Why would the Holy Spirit inspire Matthew to include such a woman in the lineage of Jesus?

If gratitude is the source of all virtue, then ingratitude is the source of all wickedness, and America is drowning in a sea of iniquity!

Why is God allowing America to be overtaken by Marxist-Socialists?
Are we in the final stages of a dying culture as the Apostle Paul described in Romans 1?
Are God’s people being chastised for their apathy and apostasy, and this is God’s way of calling us to repentance?
Are we at the end of the Church-age and witnessing the introduction of the New World Order?

America is in the midst of a serious political crisis with global ramifications. The majority of Christians are very disturbed over the reported results of the presidential election, and quite frankly, we find the statistics hard to believe.

While the impending investigation may change the outcome, I have prepared this Sunday’s sermon on the way things are right now. It seems that evil has triumphed over good, and many Christians want to know how they should respond.

Has God raised up a nation to chastise America? In 722 B.C., God allowed the Assyrian armies to remove the Israelites from the Northern Kingdom and to be taken into captivity. In 605 B.C., God allowed the Babylonians to do the same thing to the people of Judah. The prophet Habakkuk had a problem with God using a heathen nation to chastise His own people.  However, through his prayerful conversation with God, Habakkuk learned about the sovereignty of God; that history was in His hands. Even though Habakkuk still didn’t understand it, he said, ‘Yet, I will praise Him.”

    Over the past few months, America has experienced a series of events, the likes of which we have never witnessed before at the same time.

The Covid-19 virus that killed over 200,000 people in the United States and over 1-million people worldwide, and according to the Center for Disease Control, it will . . .
