13.04.2025 OUT OF EGYPT, I CALLED MY SON

In this heartfelt sermon, Pastor Emas Potolani unpacks the often-overlooked story of Joseph—the humble, righteous man chosen by God to be the earthly father of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Matthew 2:13–23, we journey through Joseph’s response to God’s call as he flees with Mary and baby Jesus to Egypt, shielding them from Herod’s wrath. This act of obedience highlights Joseph’s deep sense of responsibility, protection and love for his foster child Jesus Christ.

More than just a guardian, Joseph becomes a powerful symbol of what it means to care, to believe, and to serve selflessly. He steps into a divine role not by blood, but by calling—raising the Son of God with faith, integrity, and humility.

The central message of this sermon is a powerful reminder that God often appoints unexpected people to play significant roles in our lives. Just as Joseph was chosen to be a divine helper, we too can be appointed to support, nurture, and uplift others. Pastor Emas encourages us to embrace our God-given roles with humility and love, trusting that His plans are always greater than our own.
