    Why did God choose Joseph to be the foster-father of our Lord Jesus? What were the godly qualities that Joseph possessed? I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give a brief feedback.

    Lessons from Joseph (NT) (First preached on 25/12/2005) Text: Matthew 1:18-25 Don’t get confused with OT Joseph and NT Joseph. Cana of Galilee and Jesus’ cross – Joseph is not mentioned. So, Joseph might have probably died in Jesus’ adulthood. 1. Righteous Man (v. 19) Joseph had a right ...read more

    Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 3,105 views

    We often think of Christmas in terms of peace … and this can begin to be reduced to that which is cozy and comfortable. But the events that we are invited to enter… begin with the opposite…

    As we enter the Christmas season… a term that is often referred to is “the Christmas spirit.’ It may be a parent telling their children to get a better attitude… or hinting to your boss to give you some extra slack or time off. But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more

    The Man That God Called Daddy

    Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 1, 2010

     | 3,059 views

    God used Joseph, who was a man of conviction and compassion, to be the earthly "daddy" of Jesus.

    Intro. Joseph - Greatness is the backdrop of the Godly man we will observe today. Not much is known of his life. But I believe when we get to heaven, Joseph will be honored beyond belief. He was a good man. A hard working, carpenter. We do not find him in the Scriptures after ...read more

    Immanuel, God is with Us Isaiah 7:1-17 Introduction As we approach the Christmas season, we start to think about Jesus coming to earth as a baby in a manger in Bethlehem.

    Welcome and opening prayer – I John 1:1-3 read offstage What's the Big Deal? Why an angelic announcement? Why shepherds worshiping? Why Magi traveling from the East?

    There is arguably no more comforting to the Christian than the fact that God is sovereign. Joseph, although a supporting actor in the nativity narrative, gives an incredible performance.

    We are divided into "Have Knots" and "Have Nots". Knot-tied or single, there are relationship principles we must know.

    Knots Pt. 4 - Knot Keeping We talked about how our relationship status is the number 1 way of categorizing people in our society. We are either a "have knot" or "have no knot".

    Jesus come to live among us as one of us; to take our place on the cross; to pay the ransom on our behalf; and he also ascends to the Father where he is seated right now at the right hand of God interceding on our behalf. He comes as truly one of us.

    Well here we are again on Christmas Eve hearing the same old story once again. I wonder do you feel like it’s a bit like television in December - just another repeat? Nothing new in it. No new insights to get you going? Or do you approach the retelling of the Christmas story with excitement ...read more

    When Jesus Comes: No Respect Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 17, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,295 views

    Christmas Eve 1988: When Jesus comes as an infant, there is no respect, for he is the child of an unwed mother and is poor. When Jesus comes to the end of his life, there is no respect. But He redeems His status and can redeem ours.

    Comedian Rodney Dangerfield has made en entire career out of a single piece of business and a single punch line: "I don't get no respect". He will regale you with tales of his childhood, when the other kids used him as a punching bag and called him a host of unflattering names, and then he sums it ...read more

     | 4,642 views

    Advent 1986: Everyone goes through a dynamic of promise, leading to shame, then leading to fulfillment, if we understand fulfillment as the presence of God.

    I like the little quip about the fellow who offered His prayer with all sincerity and with tremendous urgency. “Lord," he said, "Lord, give me the gift of patience, and give it to me right now!” Well, at least he knew his need even if he did not exactly demonstrate an understanding of ...read more
