121104 Christmas, Family Style: The Cowardly Lion

Series: Christmas, Family Style
Message: The Cowardly Lion

Message Summary:
When God decided that Jesus' genealogy would come from the line of Jacob, He didn't choose the oldest son, Reuben, or most famous son, Joseph; He chose Judah - the son with the biggest secret. He had been responsible for making sure Joseph was sold into slavery.

It wasn't until 20 years later when Judah faced Joseph during the famine that he finally realized God would not relent. He had to confess his sin.

By choosing Judah, God made the circle big enough to encompass all of us - liars, cheaters, deceivers, disloyal people.

We are all candidates for God's grace and to be used by Him in ways that exceed our expectations.
