Old Testament Sermons / Speaker:Scott Kercheville The post Genesis 42–45 True Repentance: Joseph, Jesus and Us appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.
This sermon explores the story of Joseph in prison from Genesis 40, focusing on what it means to remain faithful to God in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. Even while unjustly imprisoned, Joseph continues to serve those around him, trusting that God is still at work despite circumstances that seem to contradict His promises.Through Joseph's interaction with Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, we see a powerful example of how God can use us even in the most difficult seasons of life. Rather than becoming self-focused in his suffering, Joseph notices the needs of others and points them to God.The message also draws powerful parallels between Joseph's story and the life of Jesus. Just as Joseph suffered unjustly yet served faithfully, Jesus endured suffering on the cross while still showing compassion and extending forgiveness. While people may forget us—as the cupbearer forgot Joseph—Jesus never forgets His people and continues to intercede for them.This sermon challenges us to shift our perspective when facing hardship. Instead of asking only how to escape suffering, we are encouraged to ask: What might God be doing in the midst of it? Even in our hardest moments, God remains present and has meaningful work prepared for us.

The guys examine the seminal moment of sin in the Joseph narrative. Joseph's brothers sell him into slavery and lie to their father about it; suggesting that he was killed by a wild animal. #bible #Joseph #Jesus

Saint Joseph's FaithfulnessMatthew 1:18-25 “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.I thought since Christmas is coming, I would focus on that this week. Today I want to focus on Saint Joseph. I think he is someone that we don't talk about enough. Everyone I know who has read or learned more about Saint Joseph just keeps talking about how incredible he was. Let's talk about the different things in this verse.The verse begins by describing how they were pledged to be married, but before they were together, he found out that Mary was pregnant. Joseph now finds himself stuck because it says he is faithful to the law. He wants to follow the law, and yet, according to the law, back in the day, if a woman was caught cheating on her husband, she was to be stoned to death. Joseph didn't want to disobey the law, and he also didn't want to publicly disgrace Mary. He was a good man, and so he was going to quietly divorce her to keep her from all of that. However, he was visited by an angel in his dream before he could do anything. This angel explained what was going on and told Joseph to name the baby Jesus. Can you imagine being visited by an angel in your sleep? When I was little, I used to imagine what it would be like to have an angel come and visit me, like Mary or Joseph. I wondered what it would feel like. I wondered if I would believe what I was seeing. I wonder how Joseph felt when he woke up from that dream? Did he know it was a visit from a real angel and not just a normal dream right away? I wonder why the angel came to Joseph in a dream, but to Mary when she was awake. I think it is hard for us to imagine what it would feel like, as it is so foreign to most of us. I like to think things were different back then. It was easier for them to believe because they lived in a time when there weren't so many distractions or when the faith was stronger. However, I don't think, even back then, it was a common occurrence to be visited by an angel. I don't know that those around them would have any easier time believing it than we would. Yet, Joseph did believe, and he did obey.Joseph had a choice, just like Mary did. Joseph could have decided that it was all just a dream. He could have believed that Mary had cheated on him, and he could have left her. However, he made a choice to stay. He chose to listen to the angel and to name the baby Jesus. He was faithful to the Lord, and he raised Jesus as his child. Did you know that Joseph was visited by an angel a second time in a dream? This time was right after the Magi visited baby Jesus. Matthew 2:13-15 recounts, “ When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”Again, Joseph had a choice to make. His wife had just given birth recently. He had a baby, and I am sure they were all tired as she gave birth in a manger. I can't imagine they were getting great sleep there. Then the angel of God tells Joseph to get up in the middle of the night and take his wife and baby to Egypt. Remember the first time the angel visited he was told that what he was asked to do was to help fulfill the Lord's word through a prophet, “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” Now the angel is asking Joseph a second time to fulfill the Lord's word, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” The benefit that Joseph has over many of us is that he would have been well-versed on the Old Testament prophets since he was a Jewish man. The Jewish males went to school/class to study the Jewish scriptures.I wonder if knowing about all these scriptures or words from the prophets made it easier or harder to say yes? I wonder if knowing what he was getting into made it harder or easier. I am not sure I would want to know the fate of my child if it were to suffer as Christ suffered. I wonder if knowing all he knew about Jesus and what he was to become added pressure on Joseph as a father. I think most parents feel pressure to be a good parent. We feel like we don't want to mess our children up. When they are babies, they are completely dependent on us, and as they grow, they want to become more independent. However, I don't think that sense of responsibility for our children ever goes away. I can just imagine the pressure that I felt not to mess my kids up too badly would be multiplied by 100,000 if I knew I was raising God's child. I am hoping it wasn't like this for Mary and Joseph. I am hoping that they didn't feel constant pressure to measure up or to be perfect. I like to think that they were able to be a somewhat regular family at the time. Although I am sure it was super stressful when Jesus stayed back in the temple to talk to the teachers when they left. I can't imagine not knowing where my child was for that long. I did actually lose my child at a fair once, and although it was less than 5 minutes real time, it felt like a million years. I can't imagine if I had to have that feeling for days. I know things were always perfect for them, but I hope that they were able to raise Jesus without too much pressure to be perfect parents, and also without feeling that they weren't worthy. The bible doesn't share many interactions with Joseph in the bible, but you can tell by the reverence that Jesus had with Mary that he was very respectful to his parents. Joseph had two more dreams where an angel appeared to him. These are described in Matthew 2:19-23, “After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, 'Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead.” So he got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.” Again, Joseph had a choice, and he said yes.Joseph had several chances to say no, to refuse his destiny or fulfill his purpose, and yet he didn't. Each time he was given a task, he completed it. He did not ask questions; it doesn't appear that he argued or did it begrudgingly. Joseph had four dreams where an angel of God appeared to him and told him to do something, and he said yes. They were not easy things that the angel was asking him to do, and yet he did them anyway. I wonder if we would have the same strength? I wonder if we could stay when we thought we should go? I wonder if we would move to another country after just having a baby, and then move back. Joseph was so faithful to do what God wanted him to do. There is very little that I know about Joseph, but what I do know, I admire. He had so much strength and so much faith. I think we could all benefit from getting to know Joseph a little more. Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we thank you for choosing Joseph to be Jesus' earthly father. He was so faithful to your word and your commands. Help us to be more faithful. Help us to do what you want us to do, whether we feel like it or not. Help us to be willing to listen more to Your word, Lord. We thank you for giving us Mary, Joseph & Jesus. You are so amazing, and you love us so much to have sacrificed your son for us. Lord, we ask that you help us keep our hearts and minds focused on you this week and not on the commercialized version of Christmas. Help us to remember the reason for the season. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

Matthew 1:18-25Now the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, took place in this way. When his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they were living together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. Being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, he planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. The child conceived in her womb is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”All of this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the prophet: “Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a Son and he will be called ‘Emmanuel' which means ‘God is with us.'”So Joseph did as he was commanded. He took Mary to be his wife, but he had no marital relations with her until after she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. We all know names are a thing. I've gone by several over the years, depending upon my age, my station in life, and who it is that's addressing me.My parents have called me by my initials – M.R. – short for Mark Randall – for as long as I can remember. I realize “M.R.” isn't a thing at all, really. BJ, TJ, AJ, CJ, sure. JD is a good one. But “M.R.” is strange. It's not shorter than Mark. It saves no time. And it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, either.In High School, I was “Little Havel,” because I have an older brother. In college, I was “Long Hair,” or just plain “Havel,” because 95% of my circle of friends were known exclusively by our last names. My wife calls me “Schmoops” or “Schmoop-Dog,” courtesy of a random Seinfeld episode from years ago. To most of you I'm “Pastor Mark,” or just plain “Pastor,” which I find endearing in a way that surprises me, still.And my latest, favorite – which some of you may have read about in our daily, digital devotion this Advent – is courtesy of Clive Blackmon who calls me “Pastor Goofy.” I love it because he's 2. And because his parents swear it has nothing to do with however in the world they talk about me at the Blackmon house, or when I'm not around.Anyway, I suspect some of you are wondering – like Joseph must have, had he known about what had been “spoken by the prophet” – what was he supposed to name this baby, “Jesus” or “Emmanuel?”“Jesus,” like the angel said, because he's going to save his people from their sins?Or should it be “Emmanuel,” like the prophet predicted, because ‘God is with us?'So, real quick … a little Bible study.It helps to know that “Jesus” is the linguistic, vernacular evolution of Yeshua … Joshua … the Old Testament hero … the successor to Moses … the guy who ultimately led the Israelites into the Promised Land. Joshua was Moses' side-kick and protégé; the mighty military warrior; the brave and faithful leader of God's chosen ones. And very early on in his story, from the Book of Joshua, he is promised – over and over and over again – that God would be a faithful presence, for him and with him, as he led God's people to safety and security into that Promised Land.Joshua 1:5 – “No one shall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.”Joshua 1:9 – “I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”Joshua 1:17 – “Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses!”So, God's promised presence with Joshua was an encouragement for him and a measure of validation for his calling as a leader of God's people. So Matthew conflates and connects that prophecy from Isaiah about Immanuel – “God with us” – with the naming of Yeshua … Joshua … Jesus, which means something like “Yahweh helps” or “Yahweh saves,” because the story of Joshua is covered up with this notion and promise that God accomplishes that help – God does the work of salvation – by way of God's ever-faithful presence for and with God's people.And the thing is, “Jesus” – as a name – wasn't really all that special. It was a pretty common name actually, as you might imagine, once you know Joshua's story. Lots of parents, apparently, had named their little boys after Joshua – this hero of their people.So, what we're supposed to notice as much as anything – what's really special about this story of Jesus' naming – is that Joseph named him at all. We know about the drama and back story of Mary becoming pregnant in the first place – while she and Joseph were planning to be married, but before they had sealed the deal. We know that Joseph would have, could have, should have – by some standards – punished and abandoned Mary for what was sure to bring judgment, shame, and skepticism upon them both.So, Joseph's act of naming this child was a bold, defiant, faithful, loving, brave act of adopting Jesus into his life, into his family – and into the family and line of David. It's no mistake that Matthew reports the angel as having addressed Joseph so formally and completely: “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife…” Names are a thing, after all, remember.Now, I've talked often about how much credit I like to give Mary for Jesus' worldview … about his concern for the poor … about his call to do justice … about his passion for railing against the rich, the mighty, the oppressors of the world and the powers that be. I love, in these days of Christmas, to imagine Mary teaching and singing the words of her Magnificat as a quiet, holy, strange, rebellious lullaby to her little boy – while she carried him in her belly; in the manger on the night of his birth; and every time he wouldn't sleep or needed to nurse; and all throughout his childhood, too.I imagine she sang something like that song she first sung upon learning of her pregnancy; that song about God's mercy being for those who fear him; about a God who scatters the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; about a God who brings down the powerful from their thrones; who lifts up the lowly; who fills the hungry with good things and who sends the rich away empty.It's no wonder Jesus grew up with a clear picture of what it looked like to do justice, to love his neighbor, to care for the poor, to forgive his enemies, to walk humbly with God, to flip some tables every once in a while, and all the rest.But this morning, we get a glimpse of – and a reminder that – Jesus learned some of that from Joseph, too. And it begins with this seemingly simple act of naming. Because naming a child was the father's responsibility in Jesus' day, and by doing that, Joseph was claiming Jesus as his. And it was no small thing – it was a bold, defiant, humble, loving, faithful act to welcome this Jesus into his family – the family and House of David.Joseph could have “dismissed her quietly,” remember. Or he could have had Mary cast out or killed, even, for claiming to be pregnant with the Holy Spirit's baby; because who would believe that?! But what Joseph shows us – and what Jesus surely realized in time – was that his Dad chose righteousness and faithfulness and loving-kindness and grace over the law and over public opinion and over and above his own self-interest, his own self-preservation, his own pride, ego, and well-being.And to put it plainly, we need more Josephs in the world, these days. We need men – like Joseph and his little boy – who listen to and who believe women. We need men who stand up for and protect women and girls – like Joseph and his son did – when men in power would sooner doubt, disgrace, and demean them. We need men – like Joseph and Jesus – who don't just go along to get along. We need men – like Joseph and Jesus – who break the rules – and maybe even the laws, on occasion – when they are unjust, unfair, and unkind. We need men – like Joseph and Jesus – who look for ways to sacrifice, to be generous, to be unapologetically vulnerable to God's claim on their lives and to trust the difference they can make in the world, when they do.And we can – and we are called to do this – men, women, and everyone in between – no matter the names by which we are known in the world. We can – and we are called to do this – because of the name we share as baptized children of God, bound by love for one another and bound by love for the sake of the world, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
See how Joseph's life is a clear prophecy of the Messiah
Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Matthew the first book of the Bible… The Book: One of the most important books of the New Testament, widely read and influential throughout Christian history. * Provides a comprehensive account of Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection IT WAS WRITTEN BY LEVI (MATTHEW) * Matthew was a beautifully crafted book written to the Jews. It is foundational to the other gospels. * He quotes the old Testament over 100 times and eludes to it another 50. *- He mentions the Kingdom 55 times * - He mentions Kingdom of heaven 32 times - - - Matthew was never mentioned after Acts 2? History records that he was martyred in Ethiopia by sword. His Social Standing: Wealthy due to his profession, but socially ostracized. Likely literate and skilled in record-keeping, essential for his work. *and this is a good thing. He gives us the clearest historical picture of who Jesus is - which is what the Jews needed. But he was a tax collector… they were hated by the jews. Many times you see in scripture where it says Jesus was with sinners and publicans which is a tax collector. This the scriptures way of telling us how the jews saw tax collectors…it would be like saying “this guy is bad, he is a sinner… but this guy… he is a tax collector… NOW THATS A SINNER! But here is the twist… - * History points to the belief that Matthew was the cousin of Jesus. Matthews father “Alphaeus Cephus” was the brother of Joseph- Jesus stepfather. How hard is it for us to forgive people… pretty hard. But how hard is it for us to forgive family? EVEN HARDER… Matthew obviously knew who Jesus was and now who he claimed to be. Jesus of course knew who Matthew was… Jesus nicknames Levi “Matthew” which means gift from God. No one at that time looked at Levi and thought “gift of god” but rather curse from man or the roman government…. But Jesus saw who he could be…. Matthew was a tax collector - which meant He was a copius note taker Extremely educated and literate Gifted in negotiation Gift in debate and defense Handling disputes Detailed record keeping ALL OF THIS REFLECTS HIS WRITING IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW! See when you come to Christ- he uses your past to be the framework for your future in faith.
Happy Father's Day! We're focusing on Jesus' stepdad, the carpenter named Joseph. For this episode, I will be covering Matthew 1:18-25, which describes the time between Joseph learning of Mary pregnancy until the Holy Spirit assured him that the pregnancy was divine.Have you ever considered the time period, i.e. between Joseph learning the "bad news" of Mary's pregnancy until the Holy Spirit told him the truth? What must have gone through Joseph's mind? How long did this time period last? Why did the Holy Spirit let him know before the pregnancy as opposed to after? This episode covers all of those questions. Gratitude to Joseph, the greatest step-dad of all time.

Deuteronomy chapter 25 verses 1-4 tells that for disputes between neighbours in which it becomes apparent that a crime has been committed for which there was no death penalty a judgment is made an the punishment is decided. If a beating was required than the guilty man was to be beaten with stripes from a rod – the number of hits was to be less than 40. Verses 5-11 describe laws for levirate marriages. These were to produce an heir to a family whose father had died without a child. We find several examples of the application of this rule in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Matthew 1, which we believe is Joseph – Jesus' stepfather's – ancestral line there is a levarite marriage. Verses 12-19 contains miscellaneous laws which have their focus on the morality to be evident in the lives of the LORD's holy people. These range from improper sexual practices, to just weights and measures. The nation of Israel is to continually wage war against Amalek and everything that nation stands for. Song of Solomon 5 begins with an invitation by the groom to his spouse to satiate themselves with perfume and edible delicacies. In verse 2 the companions of the bride with a strong affirmation of the benefits of doing this. From verses 2-8 the bride expresses her deep feelings for her husband which means she is sleeping lightly in the hope of his arrival. She speaks passionately of the hope of her husband's company. The bride laments her inability to find her beloved. She spoke of the hinderance, indeed the abuse, to her from Jerusalem's watchmen. This is of course symbolic of the ecclesia's ill treatment by the authorities in the first century AD. The bride weeps and mourns the absence of her Lord. Her companions in verse 9 perhaps suggest to her that she is enduring too much for her groom. From verses 10-16 she tells her companions of the greatness of her incomparable husband. We must share that longing and towering respect for our absent Master. Acts 20 records that after the riot Paul calls for and encourages the ecclesia before departing into Macedonia. Six brethren accompany him as the representatives of their ecclesias. These delegates are carrying relief funds for the poor believers in Judea who are suffering the effects of a great famine. The chapter says Paul stops at Miletus and requests that the elders of Ephesus join him for final words of encouraging and warning. The Apostle gives a very long talk, and because of the poor ventilation in the room a young man named Eutychus falls asleep in the window and he falls three storeys to the ground and is pronounced dead. Paul miraculously raises Eutychus and continues preaching until sunrise. Paul's intentions of a quick visit in to Macedonia appear to have been thwarted and he is now hurrying to Jerusalem to arrive before the feast of Pentecost. The Apostle's speech to the Ephesian elders is recorded from verses 18-35. In summary he tells them of their solemn responsibilities, warning them of a decline due to those who would seek leadership for their own advantage. On the positive side, Paul, in verse 32, commends them to God and the Word of His grace – read aloud, pause and ponder. The Apostle also quotes some unrecorded words of our Lord Jesus Christ – “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (v35). The assembled group pray together on the beach and then an old prophet warns Paul of what would come upon him from the time of his arriving in Jerusalem. They greatly sorrow that they will see his face no more, but they respect Paul's resolute courage.

The central tenant of the Christian faith is that Jesus died, was burried and resurrected. It is an unnatural chain of events for humanity to conclude the process of death with life, but it is the promise that comes to those who believe in the words of God.

Joseph is a wonderful picture of Jesus. In the story of Joseph, we find: Insights about Jesus, Prophecies that point to Jesus, Understandings concerning the nature of Jesus. When we look at Joseph, we find Jesus.
The story of Ruth is a beautiful illustration of what it means to truly trust and obey God. Ruth's loyalty to Naomi and obedience to the Lord set in motion a series of events that would one day culminate in Joseph -- Jesus' earthly father -- being born into their family line. No matter how crazy it may seem, we're always better off for trusting God, even if we don't know what that will entail.
We hear so much about Joseph when Jesus is born, but almost nothing throughout the rest of Scripture? What the heck happened to the guy?In today's episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener question regarding Jesus' earthly father. We look through every Scripture that Joseph is mentioned in to paint a picture of his character and legacy, while also trying to discern why he is never really mentioned during Jesus' public ministry. We hope that this episode helps you better understand what may have happened to Joseph and the kind of man he was.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Three truths to celebrate from the angel's message to Joseph: Jesus fulfills a promise (Isa. 7:14); Christmas comes with a purpose (Matt. 1:21-23); and through Jesus, we are accepted into God's family. Watch the Message Listen to the Message: Download the sermon notes
The story of the birth of Jesus often shines a spotlight on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and rightfully so. However, Joseph, her husband, played an equally pivotal role in the miraculous events surrounding Christ's birth. You will be encouraged by learning from Joseph's unwavering support, humility, and selflessness as he contributed significantly to the fulfillment of God's plan.

Lisa 6:3- "Be the Surrogate!" Matt. 1:19-21. We hardly ever talk about Joseph. God not only chose Mary, He chose Joseph as well. Nobody knows where Mary came from, but we all know where Joseph came from... the blood line of David. He was given the responsibility to name Him and raise Him. What has God given you to be the surrogate of? Play the role and do it well. Be Blessed.
Encouragement today from Joseph's Story in Genesis!

The Gospel of Matthew opens with Joseph finding out that his fiancé is with child from the Holy Spirit and is planning to call off the engagement quietly. That is until an angel intervenes and appeared to Joseph in a dream. Luther House of Study's Nick Hopman teaches Adam, Kiri and Mason about how the virgin birth isn't the most fundamental aspect in this passage, the significance of the angel naming Jesus and what His names means, and the biggest miracle in this text. What is the biggest miracle that happens in a text that features a virgin birth and an angel appearing to Joseph in a dream? The biggest miracle is that Joesph believes! It's not hard for God to speak through creation or to become incarnate. The most difficult thing is God's creatures not wanting to trust in Him.What you'll hear in this episode is the same thing that the angel announces to Joseph: Jesus is the Messiah and He's here to save us from our sins. Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask:Why is it a big deal to dismiss her quietly? What does Emmanuel mean?How is the virgin birth not the biggest thing in this reading?Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate
