1. Doing the Right Thing in the Right Way

Matthew 1:18-19

November 29, 2020 • Rev. Jeremy A. McKeen • Matthew 1:18–19

Joseph wasn’t ready for Christmas. In fact, the baby Jesus turned Joseph’s neat and tidy world totally upside down. But how did Joseph respond? This Advent we’ll begin by looking at the conduct of Jospeh and how he inspires us to do the right thing in the right way, and also how he points us to the One who did all things well.

2. Waiting for a God-Given Perspective

December 6, 2020 • Rev. Jeremy A. McKeen • Matthew 1:20–23

In the second week of our "Advent series, Christmas with Joseph," we consider the wisdom of Joseph. What do we do in the countless situations where the rules don’t apply? We need more than moral principles and character; we need wisdom. In this message, we learn why we need a God-given perspective for our lives and situations and how we can get it.

3. Bearing the Cost of Discipleship

December 13, 2020 • Pastor Kevin Baird • Matthew 1:18–25

As we focus on the joy of the coming of Jesus, we have to wonder if Joseph felt this joy at all? Confusion at unexpected news and a call to do hard things were his reality. In the third of our four-part series, we see how Joseph models bearing the cost of following God even without the whole picture.

4. Trusting the Sovereignty of God

December 20, 2020 • Rev. Jeremy A. McKeen • Luke 1:1–7

What truths can we rely on in the chaos of life? What can we turn to in order to get a sense of stability when everything seems out of control? In this message, we learn once again from the life of Joseph on how to face the unexpected difficulties of life. We'll be studying Luke 2:1-7 and being reminded of God's mysterious sovereignty and the hope that this doctrine is meant to bring to our hearts and lives.
