Joy: A Father's Joy
from The Orchard Church Hosted by The Orchard Church
Today we are looking at the earthly, adopted Father of Jesus, whose name was Joseph. Joseph has been called the forgotten man of Christmas. We don’t really know a lot about him. He never says a word in the Christmas story. And yet, God’s plan of redemption hangs one man’s willingness to raise a child that is not his own. No one reading this is ever going to be called to play the role of Joseph. No man is ever going to marry a virgin who is with child and raise that child of your own. But every dad and mom, every grandparent, every step-father and step-mother, every aunt and uncle is called by God to raise children for God, and to model a picture of God’s mercy and God’s love to our children. If you are a parent or have children in a family, you are called to help children to learn what it means to be a child of God. This simple man Joseph helps us a great deal. Because if there is one word we could use to describe this man, it's obedience. Joy Sermon Series - Week 2 of 4 - 12.08.19
