"Hope for Messed-up People" (Matthew 1:1-17)

This year has been a mess in so many ways. Our Advent/Christmas series, "Christmess," allows us not only to acknowledge and embrace the mess, but rejoice all the more that it was this very mess into which Christ came to save. No matter how messed-up and dysfunctional our family has been in the past or is even now in the present, Christ brings hope for messed-up people... including us.
