When God Interrupts Our Plans | Rev. Cody Turner | Advent Sermon

God’s coming is rarely convenient—and almost never according to our plans. In this Advent sermon, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck reflects on Joseph’s story from the Gospel of Matthew and what it means for God to interrupt our carefully constructed lives. Unlike Luke’s familiar shepherds and manger scenes, Matthew presents Christmas as a deeply personal, disruptive encounter between God and one ordinary person. Joseph’s plans, logic, and sense of control all come to an end as God intervenes. Yet in that interruption, Joseph receives an invitation—an invitation into obedience, trust, and a new life shaped entirely by God’s action rather than human effort. This sermon invites us to consider what it means to receive Christ today: not as sentiment, but as Emmanuel—God with us—who still interrupts, still calls, and still saves. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 1:18–25 🕊️ Preacher: Rev.
