This Advent Series will explore some of the unlikely people that God chose to be a part of Jesus’ family tree. God chose an older couple, Abraham and Sarah, to go on the adventure of a lifetime. God chose Rahab and Ruth, both women of tremendous gumption, faithfulness, and questionable backgrounds. God chose Jesse and David, an unlikely father/son duo, to be a part of Jesus’ story. God chose Mary and Joseph, an unwed mother and non-biological father, to raise the Son of God. God often uses the most unlikely people to become a part of the greatest story ever told, and each one said “yes” to God.
