The Humble Servants of God Part 2: Joseph, the Earthly Father of Jesus
Matthew 1:18-24
God’s ways are not our ways.
Just like Mary, Joseph, according to human reasoning and understanding was an unlikely choice to be used by God to be His Son’s earthly father. But God takes the logic and reasoning of the world and flips it on its head. It was prophesied that Jesus would come from the Tribe of Judah and would be a direct descendant of both Abraham and King David. Joseph fulfilled this ancient prophesy, but even though he was a man of simple means, we can learn much from his life. Joseph chose to walk by faith even in the midst of confusion. He was a man who modeled humility and Joseph’s life, character and obedience point us to the heart of our Heavenly Father. As the children of God, may we all strive to be more like Joseph; humble and selfless as we serve the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus.
See you Sunday!
I love y'all

The Humble Servants of God Part 1: Mary, Mother of Jesus
Luke 1:26-38
Perhaps you’ve heard the saying God’s ways are not our ways? It is in fact true. God’s will and His ways are often a mystery to us but He is always working things out for our good and for His glory. And in the Holy Bible, throughout history, the Lord has used humble people to accomplish great and mighty things. There is a saying worthy of full acceptance.
God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.
God only needs people that by faith will say yes Lord, here I am use me. There are so many examples of this in Scripture: Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers, being wrongly accused of sexual assault and jailed in Egypt; he had every reason to give up but Joseph by faith, remembered God’s promise to him in a dream and God’s word never fails.
Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho, helped the Israelite spies and by faith, believed their promises that God would save her and her family. The Lord did indeed save her and her household, but God didn’t stop there, Rahab would become part of the family tree and the genealogy of Jesus Christ, for God’s word never fails.
But there is perhaps no greater example of God using the humble to accomplish mighty things than the life of Mary. She was a simple girl from the poor town of Nazareth. The most unlikely of choices to carry the Son of God, the Light of the world. But God chooses the weak and humble things of the world to shame those things which are strong. Mary, by faith, believed the angel Gabriel’s words and the Lord blessed her mightily, allowing her to give birth to our Savior and Messiah, Jesus…
This Sunday we’ll take a close look at the life of Mary, Mother of Jesus. God kept His promises to her because His word never fails, it never has and it never will.
To our great God be great glory!
I love y’all
