Sunday’s advent message was called Birth Announcement for the Ages, taken from Matthew 1:18-25. Here is a brief outline of the message:
The birth of Jesus Christ (the Messiah):
I. Joseph’s dilemma (18-19)
A. Mary pledged to be married to Joseph
B. Mary found with child through the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35)
C. Joseph had in mind to divorce her quietly (Deut 22:23-24)
II. Joseph’s dream (20-23)
A. Conceived by the Holy Spirit
B. A son named Jesus who will save from sin (Psalm 130:8)
C. Immanuel – “God with us” (Isaiah 7:14; John 1:1,14)
III. Joseph’s decision (24-25)
A. Took Mary home as his wife
B. Had no union with her until she gave birth (Matt 13:55-56)
C. Gave him the name Jesus
“Immanuel” – God is with us through Jesus born at Christmas!
