Women of Word The Family Tree of Jesus

Scripture tells us Jesus walked the earth as a sinless man for thirty-three years. The women in his family tree, however, were anything but perfect. From their stories we see the roots of our own struggles and recognize that we are all sinners in need of a Savior. The biblical accounts of Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary reveal complicated lives that didn't have storybook endings. They experienced challenging relationships, difficult circumstances and heartbreaking setbacks. And yet, these women in Jesus' family tree give us encouragement in the midst of our own messy, complicated lives. Through their stories we see God's redemptive hand at work and find hope for ourselves. This nine-week study will take you on a journey from the Old Testament to the New. Filled with thought-provoking questions, rich background context and inspiring essays, you'll discover truth that is still relevant today. Along the way you'll find opportunities for spiritual growth and personal application as you learn about God, his character and how he uses unlikely women to accomplish his plans.
