     | 1,420 views

    God hand-picked Joseph just like He hand-picked Mary. 

    We often think about God choosing Mary to be the mother of the Christ child. Let’s think about Joseph for a minute: Joseph is the man God chose to be Daddy to His Son! What kind of man would you choose for your child? — patient — kind —Firm but gentle —Slow to anger —Disciplines not in anger, ...read more

     | 174 views

    Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was a man of righteousness, obedience, faith, and humility. Though he played a background role, his impact was crucial in God’s redemptive plan.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JOSEPH (EARTHLY FATHER OF JESUS) - HUSBAND OF MARY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 1:18-25 "Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife."

    But even though we know that life is never that perfect, we get so focused on how everything appears perfect and that bleeds into our lives as we begin to yearn for the perfect life and this time of year, the perfect Christmas.

    Giving Up The Perfect Christmas? Matthew 1:18-25 Debbie Macomber writes in her book, “The Perfect Christmas” about receiving a Christmas card a week before Thanksgiving from a college friend, named Jill.

    Hope When You Don't Think You Have Enough Series

     | 1,979 views

    Christmas is often a time when people struggle feeling that they don't have enough, or can't provide enough. It often steals away the joy of Christmas. Mary could have felt that she did not have enough; yet her song proves-- Jesus was enough.

    One of the top 10 Christmas songs of all time- it actually is ranked #7- is the song: “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The song goes like this: “Don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need, I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree, I just ...read more

    A Carpenter's Dream

    Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 4, 2014
     | 6,515 views

    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

    This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

    Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more

    We look at the adoration on the faces of Mary and Joseph the worship imprinted on the shepherds and the wise men. The wonder that images of angels provoke in us. And we see the Nativity as a sweetly pastoral moment’s peaceful and serene forever frozen in

    The New Testament says very little about Joseph. But when we read between the lines we se he is a remarkable servant of God, a man of compassion and courage.

    JOSEPH - THE GOOD MAN WE FORGET Matt. 1:18-25 Of all the characters surrounding the Christ child at Christmas, the one we forget the most is Joseph. The Bible never mentions any animals in the stable. They are the product, says Paul Harvey, of legend and logic. Yet the sheep and cattle get ...read more

    Joseph had been promoted politically to the highest position in the Egyptian government, but his father would promote him to a higher position spiritually – in God’s nation, Israel.
