Joseph

James Granger

Matthew 1:1-25

Our lives are filled with unexpected twists and turns, yet we know that God is sovereign over all. When you hear Scripture speak of God’s wisdom and sovereignty, how do you respond? Pastor James Granger walks us through the life of Jesus’ earthly father Joseph and how God interrupted Joseph’s plan for his life. In the moments where life is not what you expect, remember that God is sovereign.

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel , which is translated “God is with us.”
