Sermon in a prayer:  "Oh God, please bring the intimate experience of Your                       presence to my life in the Person of your Messiah, Jesus." 

Two men who respond very differently to the call of faith—

I.       Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth (circa 6 B.C.)—Matthew 1:18-25.

II.      Ahaz, the King of Judah (circa 735 B.C.)—Isaiah 7:10-14.
