A life yielded to God
This fourth lesson reviews the preparation of Mary and the encouragement she received from Zacharias and Elisabeth. Its central question is how a marriage can be used by God when husband and wife submit their lives to Him.
Joseph’s care for his family
The sermon considers Joseph as a godly man, a provider, a protector, and a spiritual leader. His response to the angel’s warning in Matthew 2 illustrates a willingness to obey when protecting his family required a major change of plans.
Following God together
Mary and Joseph faced circumstances that others could misunderstand. The lesson emphasizes their faithfulness, their trust in one another, and their shared obedience to God. Each had responsibilities within their family, and both needed to hear and follow the Lord.
Three applications for a home
Pastor Drew concludes by encouraging listeners to trust God’s design for marriage, commit to obedience together, and submit their home to God. The practical emphasis is on choosing the same direction and allowing God to lead rather than relying on personal control.
