    No Shame: Joseph Marries Mary

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 22, 2018
     | 4,800 views

    How do we deal with shaming?

    No Shame Matthew 1:18-25 It amuses me when modern commentators on the Bible refer to the culture of Jesus’ day as being an honor-shame culture as though this isn’t the case today. But we have all kinds of shaming today. For example, there is fat shaming. In fact, shaming and the bullying that goes ...read more

    Joseph's Dream Series

     | 6,457 views

    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 God Seem To Be Asking For Too Much From You

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 25, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,263 views

    A look at the conditional obedience we often offer God, in comparison with Joseph's complete and costly obedience.

    ASKING TOO MUCH? Often our willingness to obey God comes with a pre-set spending limit. Main illustration: An American Express card vs. a Walmart pre-loaded card. This is a Walmart pre-loaded card with $50 on it. If I give it to you, you can buy whatever you want. . . up to $50. This is an ...read more

    Using the format of "The Night Before Christmas", an imaginative account of Joseph’s feelings at the nativity.

    A worshiper’s task on Christmas Eve is always the same, and it is no simple one. The task is, first, to let the beauty of Christmas happen. It doesn’t require explaining or expounding. It just needs to happen. But then the task becomes more complex, for we gather on Christmas Even around this ...read more

    The Man Behind The Manger

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 18, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,895 views

    Joseph is underestimated in his role in the Christmas story – he was especially chosen by God, had many internal battles to fight to obey God, had a unique relationship with God, and played a formative role in the development of the personality of the Son of God.

    THE MAN BEHIND THE MANGER Matt. 1:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FAXING MONEY 1. Often people resist trying new technology. One young woman tried to get her mother, a secretary, to start using the fax machine in her office instead of using the post office. 2. Although she told her many times ...read more

    GOD’S CHOSEN PARENTS (MATTHEW 1:18-25) Joseph, like any young man his age, had dreams and ambitions of his own but willingly surrendered or relinquished his dreams for a higher calling – to be father of the Messiah.

    A sermon for Advent with a focus on the mercy shown by Joseph.

    “Getting Ready for Christmas: Whose Child is This?” Matthew 1:18-19 There can be no doubt that the story of Jesus’ birth begins with a Scandal.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,949 views

    When we think of the Christmas story, we often think of Christ, of Mary and Joseph, of the shepherds and the wise men. But this message is dedicated to the most overlooked character(s) of the Nativity (Angels) and to their message!

    When we think of the Christmas story, we often think of Christ, of Mary and Joseph, of the shepherds and the wise men. But this post is dedicated to the most overlooked character(s) of the Nativity: Gabriel and the angels. Angels appeared at least six times in the few months surrounding the birth ...read more

    The Forgiveness Of Joseph

    Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Aug 30, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,743 views

    Though Joseph's brothers intended to harm him, God intended to work through their actions for good. Ultimately this truth allowed Joseph to forgive his brothers. Forgiveness may sometimes be a decision we have to make but we can do so trusting that God will work good through it.

    Like last week, we have skipped ahead a few generations in Genesis to get to today’s reading. So to quickly summarize, Abraham, whose deep desire for a son we heard about in last week’s reading, fathered a son by the name of Isaac. Isaac was the father of two children, Esau and Jacob. Jacob or ...read more
