Let's go to Matthew chapter number one, verse number eight.

I'm glad to have my baby boy in worship with us today.

Gabriel Micah back from Syracuse University.

Clap your hands for Gabe, everybody.

Amen.

You'll be happy when your kids come back.

All right. Matthew chapter one, verse number 18 says, this is how the birth of Jesus, the Messiah,

came about.

His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found

to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

Because Joseph, her husband, was faithful to the law.

He did not want to expose her to a public disgrace.

He had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, the angel of the Lord,

came to him in a dream and said, Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary home as your wife

because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you are to

give him the name Jesus because he will save the people from their sin.

I want to stop the reading of scripture there and use as a subject for our time together

something very simple.

I don't understand the assignment.

Clap your hands if God has ever had you confused.

This section, not honest.
