This sermon analyzes Matthew 1:18-25, focusing on Joseph's response to Mary's pregnancy. Pastor Will highlights Joseph's deliberate actions, emphasizing his thoughtful consideration rather than impulsive reaction, and his willingness to shoulder the potential social stigma alongside Mary. The narrative then emphasizes the divine intervention of an angel revealing God's plan, aligning Joseph's will with God's purpose and ultimately showcasing faith in Immanuel ("God with us") as the source of Joseph's strength.
