In a time when genetic manipulation is commonplace, the simple and profound truth stands unchallenged in history: no woman bears a child without a man. Or does she?

Imagine the turmoil and faith of Joseph, approached by Mary with news that defies nature. And yet, an angel confirms the inconceivable: the child is of the Holy Spirit. Today, we reflect on Joseph's role, his profound faith, and unwavering obedience to the extraordinary plan laid out by God.

Listen as Pastor Colin navigates Matthew's Gospel to share Joseph's perspective - a tale of purity, love, and divine intervention. Note the humility and courage of a simple man called to protect the Saviour of the world. Contemplate his struggles and witness how his faith transitions from disbelief to a staunch testament to God's miraculous works.

Joseph, speaking from two millennia of celestial observation, might have chuckled at our disbelief in the virgin birth. A carpenter accustomed to earthly tools, he now shares insights on heavenly truths. His narrative is tangible, as real as the very instruments in a modern craftsman’s shop, yet infinitely enduring.
