    Honoring Joseph

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Dec 20, 2022
     | 1,488 views

    What kind of a man was Joseph? (Material adapted from Leslie Flynn's book, "Christmas Messages", in the chapter called, "The Forgotten Father")

    HoHum: There is a forgotten man at Christmas. Poetry, paintings and stories of the nativity treat him minimally, if at all. Few sermons are preached on him. Why is he neglected? Perhaps his silence contributes to his downgrading. Not a single word he speaks is recorded in the gospel story. ...read more

     | 10,008 views

    God gave us the best gift we could ever receive, the most beautiful and holy of gifts. Whether or not His birth is on December 25, it is the celebration of the most important gift we have ever received.

    TITLE: THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS GIFT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 1:18-23 This time of year is profoundly fraught with multi-layered meanings – • Family traditions • Economic success for merchants • The winter solstice • The pause between the end of the lunar year and the longer solar year • Our ...read more

    Mr. Irrelevant Series

    If anyone was considered irrelevant, it would have been Jesus, born to poor parents, in a back-water town, in a land under the thumb of a brutal regime. But Jesus, "Mr. Irrelevant", was actually Mr. Indespensable.

    Fourth Sunday Of Advent, A--Four Advent Annunciations

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 8, 2022
     | 1,837 views

    To all the Marys everywhere; to all the Josephs everywhere; to all the Pauls everywhere; and to even all the Ahazes everywhere.

    There are four annunciations or announcements in our Gospel this Sunday. 1. To all the Marys everwhere— Mary’s Annunciation— reminds me of an advertising slogan for a shoe company that says, “No great story starts, “it was cold, so I stayed in.” In classical Greek and Roman mythology every ...read more

    Sermon # 51 - Obedience God Desires Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 172 views

    Joseph and Mary are great examples of ones who implicitly obeyed God, and thereby were instrumental in being channels to bring forth and raise Jesus, the Son of God. Are we willing to obey God, despite not having logical reasons to do so and even when it is hard to do so?

    For our meditation today we will consider 1 Samuel 15:22, “And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” (ESV) The prophet Samuel spoke these ...read more

    God uses obedient men like Joseph.

    A. WHAT DID JOSEPH KNOW? MATTHEW 1:18-19 “These are the circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus. His mother Mary was legally engaged to Joseph before they came together.
