    Matthew 2 Joseph's Difficult Road Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,957 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

    God wants us to hear his voice and heed what we hear. Matthew 2 provides good examples of those who listened and one who didn’t.

    Matthew 2 tells the story of Jesus’ birth and early childhood. Jesus is in danger as soon as he comes into this world. Herod wants to kill him, later the Jewish leaders will pick up where Herod left off and eventually succeed in having Jesus killed. Jesus has entered enemy territory as ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    In life there will be forces that seek to destroy, deny, or deter human and spirital potential, but the good news is that we serve a God who overcomes.

    God Who Overcomes Matthew 2:1-15 Matthew 2:15 “Out of Egypt I have called my son” After the joy of Christmas, after birth of Jesus, after the wise men and Sheppard’s, and after the angels sing, we encounter Herod’s diabolical plot to destroy the baby Jesus.

    Hidden until the coming of Christ, the Good News came not only to the children of Abraham, but to all those who are his sons in faith.

    “He [the Word] was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of ...read more

    The Magi not only saw the star which led to the location of the son of God, they made their journey by faith. God "spoke" to them in language they could understand. He does similar things for us today.
