Ever felt like the spotted elephant, the train with square wheels, or the cowboy riding an ostrich—like you just don’t quite fit, even at church?This Sunday we’re opening to the part most of us secretly skip: Matthew’s long, boring genealogy of Jesus. But here’s the thing, when you actually read the names, you discover the family tree of the King of Kings is gloriously, scandalously stuffed with misfits, outsiders, failures, foreigners, and people with pasts so messy we’d delete them from our family tree in a heartbeat.Yet God proudly parades them front and center to announce, “These are My people—and through this broken, beautiful line, I’m sending My Son… for everyone else who feels broken too.”This Sunday we unpacked the truth that Christmas isn’t for people who have it all together—it’s for misfits like us. Tune into this week’s message titled “Family Tree”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?
