Sunday Service

All right, it's Christmas as we all know when I love Christmas, we never had snow at Christmas. So I've always dreamed of having that white Christmas already and we celebrate that he was born not necessarily this time of year, but that's what we celebrate. As I was praying and thinking about what to God wanted me to share this morning and he's coming back to Joseph and how he we talked about Mary we talked about baby Jesus we talked about the wise man, we talked about the Shepherds, but what kind of times but he plays a huge role and the life of Jesus and raisin Jesus and what we will talk about this. As soon as you were going to talk about today, and he wasn't just a car. He got the privilege of helping race safe and helping guide him and mold him. as from a baby

as we get to we're looking at there's something wrong with that first. Joseph did not come from a pure Jewish bloodline. I was actually watching a video that got me thinking it was at Andy Stanley video on was all the names of Jesus and But there's four names that are mentioned in this genealogy that I found. I'm going to start reading this is a recording and structure of Jesus, which is also Jose is to Jesus After Joseph, but Abraham was the father of Isaac Isaac was a father. Jacob. Jacob was a father Jude at his brothers and his mother was Tamar not the first over to look at the table. There's there's four. There's three other ones at the same on but taymor was not with you. She was I don't we were what tribe is from? That's a whole different story that we're not going to get into but she was not itchy. Judo promised her have a son married to in the whole big old story behind all that, but she was not as you and as we will go farther down the line. And we'll go down to first five or says why mom was the father of Boaz whose mother was Rahab? Rehab as we all know was The Prostitute at the Battle of Jericho that protected despised as they went and surveyed the battle. So she was from Jericho. She was not a Jew but yet she turned to God for protection and was able to live out her life in is in the bloodline of Jesus and Joseph. And who will go down and what does bowline from a country? That was totally not lost against a totally against the Jeeps haven't actually written that they should not have any relationship anymore. Yes, you're she is from the in the lawn because she again said God I will give my life to eat. So there's no more 10 minutes. We're going to limit further down. Jesse was the father of King David and David was a follower of solemn whose mother was that Sheba and we all know the story if I see you on how David was that but that she was the only one out of these four that were not

there was a story these for women which he didn't have to include in the bloodline of juices women normally worn included one. Well, there's a couple reasons why I believe he included leaves. because one before women taymor Rahab Ruth showed that no matter what your past is God consuming and that's why he included these cuz it's at the time. When was Matthew wrote this? The people would have thought while they knew that the stories of these people. And I haven't went over this a million times and never thought twice about the blood but it really settles and it says a lot about God's character to includes these people that we had no matter what we can. we will worship the Jesus comes from a gentile background to women. So that is the the main reason that Matthew included as we get ready. We're going to happen to talk more about Joseph was his bloodline is not there there and we see what we will wait for that. We have the ability to be Jesus even have until 1 in the morning. now as we were in Matthew 18 verse 189 18 and 19. This is this one says this is how the Messiah was for his mother. Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place while she was still a virgin to be pregnant to the power of the Holy Spirit Joseph if she was engaged with a righteous man, that did not want to disgrace her publicly. So we decided to break off the engagement wine the next thing he did not want. to dishonor marry Now what does it mean to be a righteous act according to Von War laws be pure free of guilt. Reich

nodosaurus what it means to be upstanding citizen to be there and to not

As according to the law Joseph could have publicly push Mary out patterstone has fueled because of the adulterer that was a law. She could have done all of that. But he chose. The off the lighter version of to white lie. Break the engagement a small fee.

That's what you chose to do. Cuz he is a man of character a lot. Like the last was in his heretofore Boaz took care of roof. That's what Joseph wanted to take care of me even though he didn't feel that he needed to because the baby is there. Well that gets us to the next part is he Trust of God? And that's a hard thing to do in a situation where you don't know what's going to happen in Matthew 21 20 and 21 is where he realized and as as he conquered this the angel angel do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife when the child within was conceived by the Holy Spirit and he will and she will have a son and you will name him Jesus for he will save the day more from their cities.

And then you Matthew 2:13 It also says this after the Wiseman left we're going to angels of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream get up pleaded Egypt with the children and his father. Until I tell you to return because the lord. It's going to search for the children to kill him. So you see if we can't trust God. Joseph jakubowski situation because he had no clue. What's going to happen. He had no clue what Mary had in her mouth didn't know flute in Japan. And he could have run away even then and he could have told him last and not being the father Jesus and not been able to have that influence on you to teach him how to be a carpet to teach him how to grow up. so Who trusted God in what and you also trust in God to keep him in the direction that he needed to go? and voyeur, we we can also work on that because we can we have to be willing to trust God in all we do and be willing to Starbucks let him God. so what can we learn?

the first one is no matter what your past is. No matter what you doing no matter what's in your bloodline. know that man As long as you come to cross.

and as long as you believe in God and trusting God beard, that's where it was. And that's weird at least the next with you, but we can trust in God no matter what we're going through trials and troubles the saddest the pain all of that and trust in God.

God will take care of us. And God will be divorced in my room.

Like I said earlier Joseph not talk. But he is one of those men died a very strong into don't know.

It's only mentioned in Matthew Mark Matthew and Luke. I know some two places and it's only been two people. I mentioned a couple times and the Barclays Cheez-Its and that's it. And as Jesus got a little older when he went to the temple. But we don't have no clue when Jesus just died. We don't know what happened to him. We don't know any of that. But the main thing we could see is that he was there for Jesus. To help him and to die in through the Early Childhood things. Does even a baby needs a dad and needs a person in a lot to take care of them? Steel and he had to be right by a godly man. That's what Joseph boss wasn't.

And so as we can look at how he he would he end up being a father but crying. I mean I could imagine how Joseph and I wonder as I knew what he was going to do, but if you really understood, I really understood what was going to happen party some of your flight. I mean, it's hard to wrap your head around.

but as we get ready to as I can wear the clothes we only leave you with this. that Joseph was a Godly Man to watch as man and we need to strive to be like him and a be like that person because if we are not like Joseph did we can't really grow in God we have to be like Joseph be able to grow and to be able to worship. To be able to hear from inside vagina.

Now I'm going to ask you as to really examine your heart today. And to be willing to ask God to show you what you need to be forgiven for you. And as you have it as soon as his purple Cipher to do that because that's the best thing you can do. Is the apps for Chrome? celebrate Jesus and that's what we have to do.

Thanks for the stage on which thank you for seeing your son to die for us and we are seeing here to be our King God and we just pray that everyone in this room and that we can trust in you and all that you do. Pieology near me

Ryan keeps preaching Everything Is Awesome

Oh, but I just wanted to pick up a couple things that I said. So make sure you get your full money for today. But I think the Brian mentioned I think we need to pay attention to this time of year. What is as we think about the story of Saint Matthew mention those those women in there that are all should they're all just how it's that. He came to be savior to all of us. Not just the Jew not just to the result to collect chosen people and they were the chosen people are the chosen people of God, but he's also acts as well. I don't know if there's any of us here that have Jewish Heritage at all. I'm pretty sure we don't based on his room. But where are those of us who have come to Faith in Jesus Christ. We are the children a job just as these women were as well. I'd rather good chance. He was a little older just basing that time and kept in the culture that they are in the husband was likely older and Mary was likely a teenager stare at a time of your life cuz he was a good man. God picked him to be the Earthly father of His son not by chance, not just randomly. Just like he chose you to be his child. Not randomly, not just by chance. He came to you because he loves you and he sent his son into the world for you. It's an incredible story right that he trusted God no matter what happened. I mean, I don't know what to use but it's only my wife came to me before we were married and said, hey, guess what? I'm pregnant. right

I don't know if I would be quite as righteous man. Is Joseph was forward.

city of David You the Son of God to be? Savior of the world New York city that is incredible story. Is it gonna do anything by chance everything that he does for your life in my life has a purpose. I know that there's been lots of things that have happened throughout my life even to be in a way in Africa where my dad's house is away was not by chance. Is that my dad was really it was really important for me to continue to go and be there. I only wish that when I came back I could have told him that he's got 10 people's come to faith in Christ. And then I got to give heart of sharing the joy of baptizing 25 people. My dad would have been really excited about that. He would have been so happy to hear that. So why did it have to be though? I don't know. Maybe it was in my life the opportunity for me to know it's my turn to move forward. Even if my dad's not there to support that part of my Ministry. But that's how God works Nothing by chance everything that he has a plan everything that he has a Way Forward. He doesn't necessarily cause the evil in the terrible things that happen in our lives what I'm trying to tell you, but what happens in our lives he can stay I know this going to happen and this is how many field your character and this is how I'm going to show you trust me. You can do great things for me. That's incredible part of the story. Joseph had a big part in the life of Jesus. We don't know he was the son of the carpenter, right? That's the new who is his dad was you know, I for the most my life was my dad. I was PacSun and then sometime about 10 years ago. He became Dennis is Dad. So if things change things move along move forward, and now savior of the World Carpenters, all the sudden becomes the one who would do my meeting things. Is not incredible story isn't that incredible to behold reminded of Joseph. We often hear about the Angels Mary Wiseman became probably 2 years after actually an hour or so and then we hear about all the shut things like Shepherds and the Yearbook all the wonderful aspects the story God plan. This righteous man to be the one who died this time, but incredible think maybe you are that person that he needs to be that righteous man or woman to do what he's called you to do. If I would ask that you would be praying for that. I'm praying for about that in your heart and asking God is it me that I need to do. Is it me that needs to trust you at this moment to do great things for you to be the one that is the Catalyst for someone else. Did Joseph change the world? Is Sunday? Maybe it's you that the Catalyst for someone else.

So you can see the next Billy Graham. per diem movie George W Truett Or whoever else you might think of it. So that's why I would ask you to think you consider. I don't know, you know, I don't know. I don't think I'm going to ask her to going to be the next Billy Graham, but I'm hoping in this room may be one of those one of those people are there or in that little room over here. See, there's a little kids over here that you and I be righteous people and guide them to know what it means to trust me. Bobby thank you for this opportunity to thank you for the message and you gave Brian to bring to us today father was a very timely and Porton message for us to hear Lord made righteous men and women as Joseph was even if we're not the main character. Maybe we're not the the focal point of the story. Maybe we're just there to help you. The guy that makes a difference in the lives of the children that we have in our church those that we see dedicated as part of our worship those that the Lord may become grow to be raped her ministers and missionaries and teachers for you, or we don't know what you called us to do to help us to trust you and be faithful and whatever you call this to me. For now as we had to close with that is Oh Come All Ye Faithful Lord. May we be that Facebook every single day? I pray for these things in your son's precious name Jesus Christ.
