Sermons About Joseph
The Good News of Christmas (AM)
While our modern culture celebrates Christmas with decorations, songs, and gifts, many Christians take time to remember the “reason for the seasonâ€. Beyond a superficial understanding that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday, we must dig deeper into the ultimate consequences of Christ’s birth.

When God Messes With Our Plans
Joesph and Mary never planned on what God had in store for them and their marriage. This sermon looks at the miraculous conecption of Jesus Christ and how God changed Mary and Joseph's plans for the good of all mankind. We look at examples positive and negative that have happened in our lives and the lives of others that God uses to change our plans to work for His glory and honor. We learn that God doesn't ask nor need our permission to change our plans. We also learn that serving the Lord is not easy no matter what these TV prosperity gospel preachers say to sell their books. Finally we learn how, God does bless those that obey His will and that all things work to the good for those called according to His purpose.

True Identity
Christmas can be a distracting time. It’s a time when consumerism demands our attention and presents seem to often take precedence over peace. During this time when many celebrate the birth of Jesus we often find our lives in an uproar. Yet this was the opposite of why God sent his Son. Jesus came to bring us what the Hebrews called shalom (peace). His desire was to begin this peace in us and then to see us pass it on.

Matthew 1:18-23 - God With Us
This passage details the account of the angel of the Lord appearing to Joseph to explain why Mary is pregnant. In the vision the angel informs Joseph that though this pregnancy is unconventional, it is also Divine, and ultimately glorious. Joseph is reminded that all that was about to take place was a fulfillment of prophecy that the Redeemer would be born in this way, adn that He would indeed be Immanuel- "God with us".

What I Do
Who are you? Often the answer to that question can be found in any number of different answers. Sometimes those answers are defined by our jobs. Sometimes they are defined by our families. Perhaps who we are is even defined by our past. Yet, so many of those things are more about our reputation and less about our true identity. As we consider what God has to say about who we are it is our response to Jesus that takes us on a journey from reputation to finding our true identity.

Faith in the Darkness
The darkness that surrounded the cross of Jesus was a darkness behind which God hid his face, causing Jesus to cry out with feelings of abandonment. But the actions of two Marys and a man named Joseph remind us that we must press on with faith in the midst of the darkness.
