In this week’s message, we explore the miraculous birth of Jesus through Joseph’s perspective in Matthew 1:18-25. Joseph’s story is one of faith, obedience, and trust in God’s plan—even when it defied logic. His journey reminds us how God can use the extraordinary to accomplish His purposes, and how faith grows when we take Him at His Word.

As part of our "Christmas Perspectives" series, we’ve seen how the wise men pursued truth, worshiped sincerely, and obeyed courageously. We’ve also learned from the shepherds that God often works in unexpected ways for His glory and our good. This week, Joseph teaches us how faith is built step by step:

1️⃣ Faith requires obedience to God’s Word, even when it challenges us.
2️⃣ God strengthens our faith through miraculous signs and His unchanging promises.
3️⃣ Trusting God connects us to His heart, His redemptive plan, and His hope.

Joseph’s faith moved him from skepticism to unwavering belief. He obeyed God, accepted His plan, and played a pivotal role in the story of salvation. His example challenges us to trust God fully, live in obedience, and embrace our part in His greater story.

The shepherds who witnessed the birth of Jesus have so much to teach us. In Luke 2:8-20, we see a moment that was both simple and supernatural—an event designed to capture our attention and connect us to God’s miraculous work through Christ. The shepherds’ response teaches us how to move from fear to faith, from curiosity to conviction, and from amazement to worship.

Through their experience, we’re reminded that God works in the ordinary and unexpected to fulfill His extraordinary purposes. How will you respond to His invitation today?

The wise men from the East teach us profound lessons about faith, courage, and devotion. Who were these travelers, and what can their journey to find Jesus reveal about our own lives? In Matthew 2:1-12, we see how they pursued truth, worshiped joyfully, obeyed courageously, and trusted God even in the unknown.

In this eye-opening message, we examine 2 Samuel 13 to uncover how sin, left unaddressed, can have devastating consequences that ripple through generations. The story of David’s family shows that when sin is ignored or minimized, it festers and multiplies, impacting not just the individual but everyone around them.

In this message, we take a look into the story of King David in 2 Samuel 12, a passage that shows us the power of God’s grace and forgiveness. Despite David’s significant failings, we see how God's grace calls us to confront, confess, and turn away from sin, guiding us toward peace and reconciliation with Him. When David faced his own wrongdoing, he demonstrated that while the best way to deal with sin is to avoid it, acknowledging and repenting when we fall is crucial.

In this sermon, we dive into 2 Samuel 11, where we witness the tragic moral downfall of King David and explore the nature of sin. David’s failure, from his moment of temptation to his attempt at covering up his sins, serves as a sobering reminder of the progressive and compounding nature of sin in our lives. As believers, we must stay vigilant, avoiding sin at all costs. When we do stumble, confession and repentance are essential to restoring our relationship with God.

2 Samuel 10 teaches valuable life lessons on the nature of spiritual warfare and responding to the gospel. It warns against the dangers of making assumptions and acting impulsively. Instead, seek God's guidance, make thoughtful decisions, and stand firm with courage in challenging situations by trusting in God and His ways.

The gospel truly is Jesus bridging the gap of separation caused by sin restoring a right, unbroken relationship with God. In Christ, we have Immanuel, God with us. May the effects of His presence transform the way we relate in terms of love and kindness with the people we come in contact with everyday that Jesus died to save.

Based on 2 Samuel 8, this message highlights God's sovereign plan for the redemption of mankind, set in motion since the beginning of time. As we give Him His rightful place in our lives, we can look forward with hope as His divine plan for the world continues to unfold.

True worshippers honor God by worshiping Him in Spirit and truth. We come to Him on His terms, surrendering our ways for His ways as an act of true worship.

This text unearths the sinful nature of the human heart. Selfish ambition and self-promotion are not God’s solutions to the wickedness in this world. His Word must triumph in our daily lives.

2 Samuel 3 reminds us to seize every opportunity to build a godly home. It's not enough to internalize God’s Word personally—we must model, share, and invest in developing these truths in those entrusted to our care.

Our passage illustrates the nature and consequences of spiritual warfare. We are to wise as serpents and harmless as doves - not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. We must never water down the gospel seeking the approval of men, but live with a firm commitment to speak the truth in love that the kingdom of God may grow and expand.

Redeem the time by taking every opportunity to make things right with God. Resist the temptation to let our will override God's will or allow man's thoughts to replace God's Word as the guiding force in how we live.

Let us be people who are ready, willing, and fully surrendered to a life of repentance—constantly abandoning our way for His way. We are called to see ourselves as ministers of reconciliation, living out His purpose.

God’s grace allows us to learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others in order to realign our steps with His.
