The Big Story | The God Who Finishes What He Starts

Matthew 1 | ~7 minWe close out the week by pulling the whole story together — and asking what it means to live in light of it. Five unexpected women. Forty-two generations. One unbroken thread. This is the genealogy most people skim right past. Now you know better.Key takeaways from the week:None of these women had the full picture — they simply trusted God and took the next faithful step. God wove every one of those steps into his plan to rescue the world through Jesus.Faithfulness doesn't require a full understanding of God's plan — it requires trust and a willingness to actYour quiet faithfulness in seasons of waiting matters more than you knowLive it out this week:Choose one area where you've been waiting for clarity before acting — ask God for courage to take the next step in faithLook for one opportunity to act for someone else's good, even at cost to yourselfShare what you've learned — most people skip right past Matthew 1:1–17, but now you have something worth tellingLooking ahead: Next week we move into the Sermon on the Mount — where Jesus shows us what it looks like to live as citizens of his Kingdom. If the genealogy tells us who Jesus is, the Sermon on the Mount shows us how his Kingdom changes everything.Hear the message for this week's devotional on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristFellowshipMcKinneyGet the written devotional at: https://cfhome.org/EGDIf you are in the North Dallas area and would like to join us for services each week, you can find all the information at https://cfhome.org.
