The Journey of Joseph / Week 1

Dec 7, 2025    Pastor Sam Tollett

This sermon focuses on Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, examining his character as a righteous man during the challenging circumstances surrounding Mary's pregnancy. Pastor Sam emphasizes that Joseph faced real human emotions - hurt, confusion, and anger - when Mary told him she was pregnant, yet he chose to respond with righteousness rather than react emotionally. Joseph demonstrated his righteousness by prioritizing obedience to God's word over his own emotions, showing grace and mercy to Mary despite having justification for anger, and remaining obedient to God's commands even when he didn't fully understand the circumstances. The sermon challenges men to follow Joseph's example by elevating God's word above their emotions, caring more about others' wellbeing than their own justification, and being obedient to God even without complete understanding.
