Date: December 11, 2016
Time: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Joseph's Choice - Matthew 1:18-25
Event Description
Join us at First Presbyterian Church of Wheaton this Advent Season! Worship services are at 8:30 and 11:00 am with an education hour for all at 9:45 am.
"Joseph's Choice" will be the message on the Third Sunday of Advent, December 11, 2016, based on Matthew 1:18-25. What does a righteous man do when the expectations of his religion tell him one thing, and God seems to be telling him another?
Joseph was faced with a tough choice when, before he and Mary were married, she was found to be pregnant. And Joseph knew that he was not the father!
He could dismiss Mary's incredible story and call off the wedding, or he could dismiss the expectations of the religious community and believe Mary and God.
What would you have done? How does one "hear" God speak? If you don't think you ever "hear" God speak, how can you choose the right way in an impossible situation?
We'll find out when we look at God's favorite four-letter word in the Bible.
