In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we step into Matthew 1:18 through 25 and follow Joseph’s quiet but courageous obedience as the birth of Jesus is revealed. We explore how the Spirit’s work in Mary echoes the creation story, how the promises to David take shape in a manger, and how Isaiah’s prophecy of Immanuel comes alive in the person of Christ. As we enter the advent season, this passage draws us into the hope that God keeps His word and meets us in moments of uncertainty. We also celebrate community birthdays, enjoy a comforting lunch update, and close with a reflection on sanctification, the steady and faithful work of the Holy Spirit forming us into Christ’s likeness.
