CloseIn all my years of church going and church preaching, I have never -- in my life -- heard a sermon about Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Why is that? Sure, there's not a lot of info about him, but he's just as important to the story as Mary is (within reason). Moreover, Joseph is called a "righteous man" -- one of only 13 people in the entire Bible to have such a designation. There is obviously something we can learn from his life, otherwise he wouldn't be a part of Scripture. Especially if we want to be righteous as well.
