Supporting Doesn't Mean Secondary

Dec 14, 2025

Pastor Brent challenges us to rethink significance through the often-overlooked story of Joseph. While Christmas can easily become distracted by lights, traditions, and gifts, our desire is to refocuses our hearts on Jesus and the quiet faithfulness that helped usher Him into the world. Brent highlights to us that Joseph’s life reminds us that support roles—those lived behind the scenes—are not secondary in God’s kingdom but divinely appointed and deeply meaningful. Through Joseph’s obedience, protection, and perseverance, we learn that living assured and resolute in God’s calling doesn’t require recognition, only faithfulness. We’re encouraged that those of us who may feel unseen or undervalued to remember that every role done for Christ has purpose, significance, and eternal impact.
