Message Notes

HOLY MOMENTSWhen It's Hard To Obey

Speaker: Dave Fox

Life is not measured by time. Life is measured in moments.
You have no idea what God can do through one moment of obedience.

When It’s Hard to Obey

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.Matthew 1:18 NLT

A carpenter (Matthew 13:55)
A righteous and faithful man (Matthew 1:19)
Descendant of David (Matthew 1:20, Luke 2:4)
Mary’s husband (Matthew 1:16)
Jesus’ earthly father (Matthew 13:55, Luke 3:23, John 1:45)

As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife...”Matthew 1:20 NLT When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife.Matthew 1:24 NLT

You don’t have to understand completely to obey immediately.
Obedience is our responsibility—the outcome is God’s.
