Taking the Sermon Home

Fourth Sunday in Advent
Sermon Title: Welcome, to the Real World
Scriptural References: Isaiah 7:10-16; Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-25

This morning we learn the story of Jesus’ birth from the perspective of Joseph, as he hears in a dream the prophecy from Isaiah in our First Reading: “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel” which means “God is with us.”

Describe Joseph. How does he react to his predicament with Mary?
In what way is he a model for us and our relationship to God?
What does the notion that “God is with us” mean for your life?
