Joseph of Bethlehem: Mercy

Joseph's hometown of Bethlehem (also King David's hometown) literally means "House of Bread." The town rests in the shadow of a huge monument built by Herod as a testament to his great "might." But it is not a King or a Ruler that is to be the earthly father of Jesus. God chose Joseph, a man who has great mercy when faced with a pregnant fiancée. He shows ultimate hospitality to Mary and to God's plan, just as Jesus will show mercy as he breaks bread with the least later in his ministry.

Join us Sunday, December 8, as we hear God's call to show such mercy and hospitality along the journey of life.
