TODAY’S SERMON

LIGHT OF love | Mike Palmer

Joseph must have been excited to get married but crushed when he learned his fiancée was pregnant (and he was not the father). After listening to a messenger from God, Joseph was reassured that Mary was miraculously pregnant and would fulfill God’s promise by giving birth to a son who would save his people from their sins. In addition to demonstrating Joseph’s love for God, for Mary, and for her son, his story also demonstrates how God’s love guides us in making decisions for His glory and for the benefit of others.
