Our Family Tree | Series Introduction

Teaching Minister, Damien Spikereit | September 14th, 2025Matthew 1:1-17, Genesis 12:1-3, 2 Samuel 7:11b-17A messy story, redeemed by God’s unconditional faithfulness. Understanding the story of the OT requires an understanding of “covenant (berit).” The basis of God’s relationship with Israel, the descendants of Abraham, was conditioned upon the obedience of the people (“if…, then…”). However, God established unconditional covenant promises along the way that find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus. The Carterville Christian Church Podcast is designed to help you walk with Jesus in everyday life. Each week you’ll hear teachings from our Sunday services that bring God’s Word into focus in practical and meaningful ways. We’ll also feature special episodes with guests, stories, and conversations from within our church family. Whether you’re part of our local community or listening from afar, our prayer is that these episodes encourage you, challenge you, and help you grow deeper in faith.
