When Heaven Served Earth - Bathsheba

Dec 14

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on the women found in Jesus's genealogy.

As we move deeper into the Advent season, we often focus on the joy and anticipation of Christmas. But the truth is, the reason Christ came into the world was that it was dark, broken, and desperate for a Savior.

This week we arrive at one of the most disheartening stories in the entire lineage of Jesus: the story of Bathsheba. It's a story that's difficult to even talk about, as we see a Biblical hero fail in a monumental way. But it's also a story of hope, as we see how God in His incredible plan works through even stories of abuse, tragedy, and silent pain, to bring redemption and to invite us into the greater story that he is writing.

If you’re feeling the pressure, the anxiety, or the brokenness of this season—if you’re wondering where your "great story" is—this message is for you. Join us as we learn what it means to truly long for the coming of Christ to turn our broken stories into truly great ones.
