Joseph thought he was just an ordinary man… until God swept him into an extraordinary story.

A simple carpenter in love with a young woman named Mary—working, dreaming, planning for a normal life.

Then suddenly… everything is shaken. Mary is pregnant. His world is flipped upside down.

But in the chaos, God speaks.

Matthew 1:18–20—“Do not be afraid.”

Fear is the real enemy—not doubt. Fear of God’s purpose. Fear of His plan. Fear of what obedience might cost.

Joseph had to decide: Will I trust God when His will disrupts my life?

So will you.

If we can overcome fear, we’ll walk in victory and step boldly into the destiny God designed.

Because this story isn’t ultimately about Joseph—or us.

It’s about God.

It’s about His Kingdom.

“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest upon His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

There will be no end to the increase of His government and peace….” (Isaiah 9:6-7)

This was the great expectation or hope of Israel!

Watch my special Christmas message based on Luke 2:1-20, Isaiah 9:6-7, and the God-given prophecies of Isaiah about the coming of Jesus Christ our Savior, God’s Messiah, His Anointed King-Priest.

Please pay extra close attention to my second point based on Isaiah 25 concerning, MESSIAH’S GREAT BANQUET OF SALVATION!

Mary is second only to Jesus in the Christmas story—yet many Protestants overlook her in reaction to excessive veneration. No, she isn’t deity and we don’t worship her, but she is a vital part of God’s redemption story. So why did God choose Mary to carry His Son?

Mary didn’t just witness the miracle of Christmas—she lived it. She carried Jesus, birthed Him, nurtured Him, followed Him as Lord, stood at the foot of the Cross, rejoiced at the Resurrection, and was filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. She was an incredible woman and a powerful leader in the early church.

What can we learn from her life? How can we, like Mary, move beyond a one-time new birth and step into a daily supernatural walk with God? Let’s dive in.

Drawing from Dr. George E. Khoury’s powerful teaching, this explainer uncovers how Jesus’ prophecy in Matthew 24 wasn’t pointing to a distant apocalypse, but to a dramatic, earth-shifting event that unfolded in their generation: the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.

This historical judgment, Dr. Kouri argues, was the visible proof that Jesus had already taken His throne, inaugurated His kingdom, and begun His reign. And that changes everything. Instead of waiting for rescue, the church is called into a bold, restorative mission—living as active citizens of a present kingdom, not spectators of a future one.

If the King is already reigning, then our call is clear: disciple nations, advance His dominion, and participate in the restoration of all things under His authority.
