The Christmas Tree: Ornaments of Hope

At this time of year, many of you are in the process of decorating your Christmas trees. For the next few weeks, we're going to take a look at several ornamentsnot for your Christmas tree, but for your life. We're going to look at Matthew chapter 1 and find ornaments like hope, grace, faith, and love.
