    Joseph, Mary and Jesus give us a model of the family all of ours should strive to become.

    Feast of the Holy Family 2022 If there is anything we can be certain of when we consider the past fifty or sixty years, it is that there has been a massive cultural, media and even governmental assault on the natural family.

    Pause and imagine Joseph explaining everything to his parents. “Yes, mom, as I told you earlier. Mary is a good young lady, and we didn’t do anything. She is “with child” because of the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t lay a hand on her. I know it’s hard to believe, but I promise you it’s true.”

     | 2,448 views

    This message will answer the following questions: Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? What did the shepherds do after they left Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus? What did Mary do? What other events might Mary have pondered in her heart?

    Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? (Luke 2:8-16) God chose to tell His good news to the lowly. He sent His angels with the message to shepherds, who were watching their sheep in the fields that night. An angel said, "A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, has been born today in ...read more

    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

    Sermon # 51 - Obedience God Desires Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 17, 2025

     | 438 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
