Joseph "Jesus' Birth"

Joseph was a Carpenter; he is Jesus Christ earthly father. Joseph was engaged to Mary and shortly after, he discovered Mary was pregnant. Bewildered and confused Joseph first thought was Mary had been unfaithful.  Joseph being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to break their engagement. However, after he had been informed of the truth by an angel (Matthew 1:18-25), he treated Mary kindly.

Joseph and Mary were hardly special individuals in themselves, but God graciously used them for His purpose to bring His Son into the world.

We need to honor Joseph because he was a considerate husband, an obedient servant, and a good citizen.

Mary "Jesus' Birth"

  Pregnant,  a virgin and engaged to be married, if I was Mary all my humanly emotions would have told me to be scared. Of course in this day and time to see a unwedded mother is everyday, but in those day it was not heard of. Reading the story as it happened the spiritual side of me would have cried “rejoice ” after getting over the shock. Read Mathew 1:18-23

Cell vs Bible

  vs 

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our pockets or purses?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forget it?

What if we used it to receive message from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

This is something to make you go …hmm…Where’s my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think ‘where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!

“Don’t measure today’s success by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you sow”
