Gospel in the Change (Matthew 1:18-24)

What does it mean when God shows up in the messiness of our lives? This Advent season, we'll explore how the Christmas story reveals God's presence in our complex families, unexpected changes, earnest seeking, and even our deepest tragedies. Through four powerful narratives from Matthew's Gospel, we'll discover how God's greatest gift came wrapped in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of human experience, showing us that He still works the same way today. This week: Like Joseph's dramatic shift from carpenter to stepfather of the Messiah, God leads faithful hearts down unexpected paths, proving that our greatest uncertainties often become the doorways to His deepest purposes.
