Are Genealogies in the Bible important?

Sep 15, 2025    Jason Parsons

Greetings and welcome to the Faith Chapel Podcast. In this episode from our 2021 series Questions, we examine whether the genealogies in the Bible are important. Hear how genealogies served practical purposes for Israel—land rights and priestly legitimacy—and how they point forward to the Davidic promise that finds fulfillment in Jesus, showing that even lists of names are part of God’s plan to bring salvation.
