We love Advent! We love to sing to the faithful, joyful, and triumphant about worshiping the baby Jesus, but is there hope for us if we don't feel joyful, triumphant, or even faithful? In this sermon on Matthew 1:1-17, combined with pre-recorded Scripture reading from Psalm 89, we find that there is because the long-anticipated Son is Jesus. This sermon was first delivered on December 12 for the morning service.
