Message: “Tale of Tamar” from Matthew McNutt

In this sermon based on Matthew 1:1-17, we see the gospel proclaimed through the genealogy of Jesus. His lineage uncharacteristically contains the names of four women, including Tamar, a Canaanite who was taken advantage of by those in power and authority over her. In God's story, Tamar's presence enhances the purity and dignity of Jesus' lineage. We too find our identity and value in Christ's story, not in our past.
