    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,930 views

    Many times we think of Mary’s role in the birth of Jesus, but Matthew records the difficult road Joseph had to travel in protecting this little life that the enemy wanted to snuff out.

    Have you noticed that the first chapters of Matthew are really Joseph’s story? Luke records Mary’s version of events and has her genealogy, but Matthew one is Joseph’s lineage, and her in Chapter 2 we find God again speaking to Joseph about caring for the safety of the Messiah. As a father, the ...read more

    As Christians we have hope! 1. The hope of God's protection (vs. 13). 2. The hope of Godly purpose (vs. 13-14 & 19-23). 3. The hope of God's prophecy (vs. 14-23). 4. The hope that overcomes our pain (vs. 16-18).

    WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM. Matthew 2:1-12.

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

     | 30,097 views

    For years I thought the only reason the Wisemen came to Jerusalem was to get directions. But I was wrong. What other possible reason could the Wisemen have had for going there?

    My home church met in a huge building. The main sanctuary had four sections of pews that ran back 12 rows or so and the back section had another 2 sets of pews. Then there were two balconies that ran along the sides of the main area. They said they could seat over 600 people in that building. ...read more

    While life may often seem to lack coherence, Matthew 2:1-15 shows us that God gives it His own unique cadence and rhythm. Ultimately, we don't have to have all of the answers if we know the One who does, and we humbly follow His lead.
