    Phobeo!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Dec 16, 2022
     | 1,086 views

    Using Joseph as an example and the word for "fear" in Greek (Phobeo) used by the Angel, we too can overcome the fears that keep us from the pursuit of holiness (sanctification).

    PHOBIA! AS DEFINED, IT MEANS “AN EXTREME OR IRRATIONAL FEAR OF OR AVERSION TO SOMETHING.” FEAR CAN BE GOOD! FEAR HELPS PROTECT US. IT MAKES US ALERT TO DANGER AND PREPARES US TO DEAL WITH IT. FEAR CAN BE LIKE A WARNING, A SIGNAL THAT CAUTIONS US TO BE WATCHFUL AND CAREFUL. HOWEVER, FEAR CAN ALSO ...read more

    Joseph's Jesus Story

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Dec 16, 2022
     | 1,643 views

    The birth of Jesus Christ is multi-layered and filled with mystery. The details are scandalous and messy. The focus of Matthew’s account is on Joseph’s Jesus story.

    Joseph’s Jesus Story Matthew 1:18-25 Introduction What is your picture of the perfect Christmas? Beautiful decorations, lovely family, delicious food, well-selected gifts, and children that know how to behave! How many of us really have a Christmas like that? In reality, Christmas - is not ...read more

    Buy a Hallmark card and it will picture a beautiful scene and give a positive message. But not everyone experiences a Hallmark Christmas. Some people have problems, and as we look at scripture, we discover that one of the original characters of Christmas has a big problem. His name is Joseph.

    Alba 12-11-2022 THE OBEDIENCE OF JOSEPH Matthew 1:18-25 It is Christmas shopping time as we near the big day. Stores take advantage of this and come up with some clever signs to encourage people to shop in their stores. Here are a few clever ones: From a toy store: "Ho, ho, ho spoken ...read more

    The world’s most important birth was about to take place. Why was it almost unknown? What was Joseph's dilemma? What were the baby’s names? Was Mary a perpetual virgin? Let’s look at Matthew 1:18-25.

    Honoring Joseph

     | 1,487 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

    Mr. Irrelevant Series

     | 2,081 views

    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.

    The Gospel Of Matthew: An Introduction

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024
     | 412 views

    Matthew's account of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ was written to show his fellow Jews that Jesus was the Promised Messiah, liberating them not from the tyranny of Rome, but from the tyranny and condemnation of sin. His death and resurrection freed all of us from this curse.

    Dr. Frank Turek, the noted Christian apologist, said that the writers of the New Testament did not create the account of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, but that the resurrection created the writers of the New Testament. If Jesus had not risen from the dead, His life would have been ...read more

    Until Joseph understood what was going on, he was trying to figure out a way to get out of the commitment. The Bible says that he did not want to expose her and publicly disgrace her.

    JOSEPH'S DILEMMA Text: Matthew 1:18-25 JOSEPH'S DILEMMA Text: Matthew 1:18-25 Matthew 1:18-25  Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from ...read more

    Dave Barry talks about one of his most vivid childhood memories of Christmas. It was the annual Nativity Pageant at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Armonk, NY. It involved almost all the Sunday School kids, and Mrs. Elson, who had experience in the Legitimate Theater, was the director. Barry ...read more

    We will learn three important life principles of through Joseph and Mary: Joseph had a Misunderstanding about Mary, then he had the Mystical Understanding from an angel, and finally they had the Mutual Understanding.

    Joseph’s Obedience Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 1, 2023

     | 5,083 views

    Joseph is the unsung hero of Christ's early life. Through obedience, he impacted Mary, he impacted Jesus, he impacted the other children, and I think he impacted Jesus’ entire ministry.

    Sometimes there's words that we just don't like. Sometimes it's because of the way they sound. Some sound weird or sometimes they conjure up something kind of gross. One word that I don't like is the word ‘maggot.’ Really, if you think of maggots, is anything pleasant ever really ...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
