mary and joseph

In Matthew 1:18-25 the angel from the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. 

The angle told Joseph that Mary had been conceived by the Holy Spirit.  

The angle told Joseph that Mary will have son and that his name would be Jesus. 

And the angle told Joseph to not to fear, but to take Mary as his wife.  

The angel was right to remind Joseph not to fear.  

It was fear that powered Jim Crow yesterday and racism today.  

It is fear that keeps Trump supports from seeing him for who he is.  And its fear that keeps America from being great.  

It is fear that robs us of our dreams, makes us distrustful and causes all matter of heartache. 

Jesus came so that whoever believed in him would have an abundant life.  

So, let’s not fear for an abundant life is available even in times of financial uncertainty. 

So, let’s not fear for an abundant life is available even when we are sick. 

So, let’s not fear for an abundant life is available even when today is rotten, and tomorrow is out of site.    

With Jesus there is only hope so let’s not fear.  

Join us tomorrow at Greater Bethel for a teaching form Matthew 1:18-25 entitled “Mary Had A Baby and Joseph Obeyed His Dream.”  Worship with us in person at 11:00 ET at 140 Rose Street in Athens or online as we stream to Facebook and YouTube.  So until tomorrow blessings, peace and love.

Jeff describes what taxes have to do with Christmas. Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to be taxed (or maybe to be counted, so they could be taxed). 

Lee Michaels invites historian Dr. Clyde Billington to discuss the fascinating details of Mary and Joseph's marriage and the birth of Jesus.

Today is the 4th day of Christmas and historically it is the day the church observes the Death of the Innocent. It is found in Matthew 2 and is apart of the Christmas story. It is the dark side of the Christmas story that shows a power struggle. We'll talk about all that today. 

The music on the podcast is from John Nugent. John is a Chicagoland area musician who has been a blessing to Tabor Church. 

Mark 3:33-35
But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"
And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."
