     | 8,833 views

    Joseph was not the biological Father of Jesus, but he certainly was a good example of the CHARACTERISTICS OF A VISIONARY FATHER.

    The first two chapters of Matthew’s gospel contain five different dreams or visions. FOUR OF THESE DIVINE DREAMS WERE GIVEN TO JOSEPH - THE EARTHLY FATHER OF JESUS. It is clear to see that Joseph was a father of vision - God’s vision! Joseph had a particular responsibility among men. He would ...read more

    As you can see from this mornings reading Joseph had a dilema to face. To be quite honest it’s not really the sort of dilema that many of us will have to face, I now for a fact that no one here will ever be told that there wife to be is expecting a child concieved by the Holy Spirit . So I don’t ...read more

    Jesus’ Genealogy is like a sine wave! Some cool points about Jesus’ Genealogy in the account of the apostle Matthew.

    > Matthew’s Genealogy of Jesus < Matthew was a tax collector of Jewish descent. He wrote this Gospel with a main focus to a Jewish audience.

    All I (Really) Want For Christmas Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,993 views

    Joseph thought he knew what he wanted: freedom from embarassment, a normal life, a few friends to support him. But in listening to the Spirit he found that what he really wanted was to love and to be loved, to be significant, and to be understood by God.

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those curmudgeons who thinks we should do away with giving gifts at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s all very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part ...read more
