"All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet…" (Matthew 1:22)

In this message, we reflect on the profound mystery of the Incarnation through the eyes of Joseph. When God’s plan veered sharply from the life Joseph and Mary had envisioned, an angelic promise brought clarity to the chaos: Emmanuel, God with us. Just as Joseph was called to trust God’s Word over his circumstances, we are invited to see how God has already come to us in the person of His Son, Jesus.

Join us as we explore the historical context of Joseph’s dream and the eternal comfort we find in the fulfillment of Isaiah’s ancient prophecy. Whether your life is going according to plan or feels uncertain, we find our peace in the Savior who is with us now and always.
