With the beginning of Advent Pastor Dustin Clegg begins a new sermon series titled Irreverent Christmas, and as we look at Matthew 1:18-25 we talk about hope in brokenness. We see that:

1) Hope fueled by truth leads to grace (vs 18-19);

2) Hope and fear never agree, but they can be at war with one another in the same soul (vs 20-23); and

3) Biblical hope and brokenness is always centered around Jesus and self-denial (vs 24-25).
