about becoming a harvest partner by going to harvest.org we hear so many variations on the Harvest. coming up today, Pastor Greg Lorry tells it straight.

In the Christmas story, Jesus came to heal broken lives and to restore shattered hopes.

He came to save his people from their sin and God can redeem your life as well.

And this is what Christmas is all about. It's about redemption.

This is the day when the lost I found.

This is the day for a new beginning.

Amazing grace how sweet the sun.

Again you hear and the angels are singing.

This is the day, the day when lives begin. Merry Christmas. Mary Christmas from all of us at Harvest Ministries and a new beginning.

Today, Pastor Greg Lory helps us look beyond the gifts and the garland, the tinsel and the tree. We'll see the

birth of Jesus had a purpose. God set his son on a rescue mission for sinners who

couldn't save themselves. That was his purpose. But Pastor Greg first draws our

attention to some family matters. We'll examine two separate earthly genealogies

of Jesus and what they teach us of God's mercy and grace.

There's a day, the day when life begins.

There's a story to be told in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, which is presented in two

Gospels.

It presented in both the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Matthew.

Matthew's gospel presents a genealogy of Christ
