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.
