Fathers Day: A Life Legacy | Pastor Mark Harrell | Play/Download

John 20:29

God wants to raise up men and women, fathers and mothers that are willing to be devoted even before they see the outcome of it.  (Willing to have faith even before you see the result of it.)

Let's study the life of Joseph (the guardian, earthly dad of Jesus).

Matthew 1:18-25

Joseph did the right thing, even before he got the full revelation.

Four things we can see from the life of Joseph that can help us see legacy and remind us of that;

1. Joseph was a man of morals and a man of mercy.
2. Joseph was logical but he believed in the supernatural.
3. Joseph was a great thinker but he was also a great dreamer.
4. Joseph was a man who could refrain and do right, but he was also a man of revelation.

God responds to us when we respond to Him in obedience, truth and faith, even before the dream comes about.

God is pleased when you and I make good decisions and we stay devoted and dedicated to doing the right thing, even before we receive the dream.
