Joseph
Dec 8, 2024 • Craig Smith
This message focuses on Joseph and the messy, uncertain circumstances surrounding the first Christmas. What looked like betrayal and shame in Mary’s pregnancy became the setting for God’s redemptive plan. Joseph faced fear, confusion, and social risk, yet God met him through a dream, revealing that the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit and would be the Savior of the world. Joseph’s story challenges believers to choose obedience over comfort, trusting God’s word even when the situation feels overwhelming or unclear. In the middle of life’s messes, God is present, working out His purposes, and inviting us to walk in faith rather than fear.
