| 0:00.4 | When I was a new follower of Jesus and I started reading the Bible, I was surprised by the lineage |
| 0:07.8 | of Jesus. And what way? I just felt so disqualified. I felt like Christians were the good people. |
| 0:15.8 | They had it all together. They didn't have the path that I had. So then I start reading the Bible. |
| 0:20.8 | I'm like, wait, these some of these people are messed up. And then when I started reading the |
| 0:26.8 | lineage of the women, wait, God can use them. And it made me question like, God, can you use |
| 0:35.3 | me with all of my junk? And he is. He literally is this very second. No. Pretty incredible. |

| 1:56.6 | talks about Jesus. When you were talking about Eve and the promise God gave even before the |
| 2:03.7 | curse, whenever I would preach that the promise of God started in chapter three of Genesis, |
| 2:11.2 | people would come up to me every time I go, I've never heard that. Even that he covered them |
| 2:16.0 | by shedding a blood was a shadowing of how this is going to come to be thousands of years later. |
| 2:23.5 | And you just illuminated Eve's role in that. So who do we want to talk about today? Yesterday, |
