    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 125 ratings
     | 9,102 views

    Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

    The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

    This message confronts Herod’s behavior, and how we as Christians need to change our behvior to be more reflective of a Christian lifestyle.

    This time of year, many people get around to making some "New Years Resolutions". No doubt, some well intended resolutions that may last for a while, but not all resolutions get kept, and most have gone by the way saide within just a few short weeks. But I want us as we approach a New year to think ...read more

    WHAT DOES GOD SAY TO US WHEN WE ENCOUNTER CHANGES IN OUR PLANS AND EXPECTATIONS?

    Like Joseph, the foster father of our Lord Jesus, may we trust in God’s protecting care...with a faith like Joseph’s that listens...with a faith like Joseph’s that obeys.

The day before Christmas Eve, when the children were suppose to have their program, the boy became sick. His mother was very concerned about him missing the ...read more

    Protecting the "newborn child" when the Herods of this world are threatened.

    This story of Mary and Joseph’s flight into Egypt with their newborn child and Herod’s slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem is a story that is not preached on very much, if at all. And for obvious reasons. Who wants to spoil the beauty and the joy of the Christmas season with a story of the ...read more

    In the dim light of a Star and the witness of dreams wise men were guided by God to find and worship Jesus, how much more ought we who have the plain Word of God to do so!

    When God Speaks Through Dreams Matthew 2:13-23 What do you think about dreams? The Greek words for dream occur only 9 times in the New Testament; six times in Matthew, where every one of them has a message from God. Acts 2:17 and Jude 8 contain the other three. Acts speaks of the evidence of ...read more
