    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see the typical journey of a people who had God-sized dreams come crashing down. And my hope is as we go thru this text we’ll discover how to move from living a life of destroyed dreams to a life of fulfil

    Here is a sermon encouraging the believer to go after the dream that God has placed in your heart.

    Daring to Dream Genesis 37:5 Today I would like to look at the process of a dreamer. Somebody say Process… I want to get you to dream, because someone is waiting to be blessed and healed on the other side of your dream.

    This sermon tells the Christmas story from Joseph's point of view. He has a vision of Jesus in heaven.

    Joseph’s Dream Joseph was a well respected man in Nazareth. He was a very good carpenter and known for his integrity and hard work. He was very generous with the poor and with widows. When he became engaged to a young maiden named Mary, he anticipated a simple life of work, prayer ...read more

    God's people are often in the minority opinion. Some get bad counsel and have their dreams and calling killed in the wilderness.

    Numbers 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. Numbers 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7 And they spake ...read more

    We serve a God who is infinite. He is all-powerful…all-knowing…completely capable. He is a God who’s power / ability / and love…knows no limits. YET…even though we know this and often declare it…we tend to limit the power of God. We Need To Dream Bigger!

    DREAM BIGGER...DON'T LIMIT GOD! Limit: to restrict, to confine, to keep within a designated area, to fence in, hold back, to bind Example: Ever seen someone using a kid leash? (the kid has limited freedom…but who’s really in control?) Limits: spending limit, speed limit, earning limit, ...read more

    Joseph and Mary had no say over the name of their first child. He was not named for anyone else, not for what character was hoped for him, but for the purpose for which he was born in the first place.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph’s Dream 12/1/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “What’s in a name?” so questions Juliet. There may be much in a name. Some of us are named after loved and respected family members. We carry in our name the remembrance of someone else. Others of us ...read more

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

    Matthew 2:19-23 Joseph’s Dreams 12/22/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction Do you sometimes wake up tired because of vivid dreams? I imagine Joseph had that problem. Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more

    Joseph was not afraid to take the lead in his family, and opened his heart and his home to the Son of God.

    JOSEPH’S DREAM. Matthew 1:18-25. Joseph was a dreamer. This was true of the Old Testament Joseph, the son of Jacob, derogatively referred to as “this dreamer” (cf. Genesis 37:19). It was also true of the New Testament Joseph, recognised here as “the son of David” (Matthew 1:20). Joseph ...read more

    One the eve of the Holiday that we have distinguished for Dr. King, we cannot help but see the parallels with him being a dreamer along with Joseph.

    When life is uncertain, be certain that God is still in contrtol and that God still cares.

    There is a little church in Galena, Kansas, where it is customary for people celebrating birthdays to come to the front of the sanctuary. There, they give a special offering while the congregation sings “Happy Birthday.” On the other hand, if you’re a little shy, you can give your offering to an ...read more

    Advent calls on us to forget about our own expectations and remember the love of Jesus and Joseph and the love of God. We are called on to let God’s peace gradually warm our souls and free us for new expectations and the birth of something within us.

    Today we begin the transition from Advent to Christmas. We are led to the stable. Our hopes, dreams and longing for a Saviour are the same hopes, dreams and longings people had on that first Christmas 2,000 years ago. The birth of the Messiah pointed to the promise of the Kingdom. To many people ...read more

    Although we know little about Joseph’s life, we know quite a bit about his character from his actions. He demonstrated great faith. We can learn much from living Holy lives by following the example set by Joseph.

    Joseph is too often overlooked in the Christmas story. We must never fail to acknowledge the role he played in the life of Jesus. It wasn't just a coincidence that he was engaged to be married to Mary. He was chosen by God for this special calling...to be the earthly father of Jesus. God in His ...read more
