[Sermon] Joseph: Courage to Serve

<p>Joseph is seen as the paragon of fatherhood. But he almost wasn’t. He was called by God to do a difficult thing. Even before his marriage had begun, he discovers that his future wife is pregnant, and the baby isn’t his. He is asked to love a woman pregnant with someone else’s baby. &nbsp;It takes courage to serve in such circumstances. Joseph rises to the challenge and shows that fatherhood is more about the courage to serve than it is about biology. &nbsp;Joseph shows, in the way he responds to this situation, that he has some key attributes of a person that God can work with. He reveals the attributes of a man worth imitating. A man who is courageous to serve God no matter what.</p>
