    Peace on Earth - Fear Not, God Uses Costly Obedience, Part 1

    In the Christmas story, Joseph often feels like a background character—but in this program, Chip reveals that his role is far more significant than it seems. Join Chip in Matthew chapter 1 as he explores the pivotal role Jesus’ earthly father played in God’s plan. Learn what Joseph’s quiet presence teaches us about obedience, trust, and faith in action.

    Main Points

    The Christmas Message = “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.”
    • Exhibit A – Zechariah & Elizabeth: Elderly, barren couple receive a miracle baby who becomes the first prophet in 400 years. --Luke 1:13
    • Exhibit B – Mary: Humble, peasant girl from the wrong side of town becomes the “earthly mother of God.” --Luke 1:30-33
    • Exhibit C – Joseph: Blue collar worker marries unwed mother and becomes the “earthly father” of the Savior of the world. --Matthew 1:20-21
    The Question: Why are so many people disappointed and disillusioned with God’s “wonderful” life?

    Joseph’s Response: A painful dilemma. --Matthew 1:19

    The Angel’s Intervention – “Fear Not!” --Matthew 1: 20-23

    Joseph’s Obedience – Immediate, radical & costly. --Matthew 1: 24-25
