Hear (Joseph)
December 4, 2022 • Pastor Jim Mericle • 2 Samuel 7:8–17, Matthew 1:17–25
Today we focus on hearing the prophet Nathan telling David of a covenant God makes with him that his dynasty would be everlasting and rule with peace. And then in Matthew, we hear how a son of David, Joseph, who is engaged to be married to a young woman named Mary, has a dream where an Angel visits him and speaks to him and he hears the message that he should remain with Mary and the baby she is carrying, for he is the one who will save us and be God with us, restoring David's dynasty and bringing a Kingdom that has no end.
