CALLED & CONFRONTED // Ratchet But Redeemed | Jarrod Cochran

In this powerful message, we're reminded that God's family tree is far from perfect. The genealogy of Jesus, found in Luke 3:23-38, reveals a lineage filled with flawed individuals - from adulterers to murderers. Yet, this 'ratchet but redeemed' history serves as a testament to God's grace and redemptive power. We're encouraged to see that our past doesn't disqualify us from God's love or purpose. Instead, God often uses our brokenness as a qualification for His calling. This genealogy stretches back not just to Abraham, but to Adam, emphasizing that Jesus came to save all of humanity. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to embrace our spiritual heritage and recognize our place in God's family tree. Let's be inspired to stand firm in our faith, knowing that God can use anyone - including us - to accomplish His divine plan.
