Text: Matthew 1:16-25
Most people will spend much time this season trying to find the perfect gift for someone they love. We pray that you will especially consider all that God has done for you, and what you can give as an act of worship to Him. Each person connected to Christ’s birth gave something in response to the Lord, and we should be willing to give the same. There is no single gift sufficient to describe the gratitude we should have for all that He has given us, but as we study, we will repeatedly find that “He is worthy of it all.” In this message, we discover how God interrupted Joseph’s plans to invite him to partner with God in His plan to bring salvation to the world. His response and gift to the Lord was simple, but profound – he simply obeyed. We invite you to listen today to consider how you, too, can give complete obedience to the Lord.
