    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Nov 28, 2006

    There are three points to this sermon. 1. God gives courage to ordinary people. 2. God gives us courage to overcome our doubts and fears. 3. God gives us courage to face the future.

    (This sermon is a re-working of “The Nativity Story: The Courage of Joseph” by C. Raymond van Pletsen. I used some of the same wording and illustrations but changed the outline and applications.

    What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

    What was Joseph Thinking? It may sound a little bit morbid to begin a message like this, but I have always told my wife, when I die, if she believes it can be said with integrity, I want my epitaph to include Genesis 6:22. Genesis 6:22 (NIV) 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. My ...read more

    In all the rush and stress of the holiday season it's easy to lose sight of the 'big picture' of what Christmas is really all about. In this series we ask (and answer!) the question of "What's Jesus Got to do With Christmas?"
