    The Christmas Season is a time for "Abounding Love."

    Well folks, it has officially begun. The Christmas Rush!

     | 3,316 views

    God drew near. In the incarnation the King left His throne to draw near to His people. What does this say about Who God is?

    So. You survived the apocalypse. Well done. I, for one, am glad to be here still, in the land of the living. And, I’m very happy to be back with you, to be back in the community where I belong, to be back with my people, the church and the mission that I love. You know, there's nothing ...read more

    Tinatawag tayo ng Diyos na tanggapin ang mga tao at mga sitwasyong hindi natin gusto dahil ang Diyos ay may ginagawa sa ating buhay na higit na malaki kaysa sa alinman sa atin. Kailangang tanggapin nina Maria at Jose ang bawat isa upang mapanatili ang kwento ng Pasko.

    Women And Christianity Pt. 1 Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 16, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,634 views

    The teachings of Christianity were revolutionary. The ideas and doctrines found in the New Testament were radically different from the ideas and doctrines found in the rest of the world. One area where this was true was the status and rights of women.

    The advent of the Feminist Movement in our Country in the late 1960s and early 1970s promoted the assertion that women were oppressed, being deprived of their equal rights and equal opportunities in society. They attacked Christianity as being patriarchal by denying women the opportunity to be in ...read more

    When I was twelve years old, our family moved to a house larger than the one we had been in. With a larger house came more yard, and with more yard came more plants to care for and more lawn to mow. If anybody was going to do any gardening at our home, it would have to be my father. My mother, ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,504 views

    Are you looking for peace? Look to the One who when He was born, the angels proclaimed a promise to the whole world—Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

    Several decades ago, a diplomat got off a plane and spoke to the crowd that was gathered there. He waved a piece of paper to the crowd and they broke out in a series of loud cheers. Why were they so excited over a piece of paper? Because that paper was going to end the possibility of war. That ...read more

    Healed Hearts His Home Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 7, 2008
     | 7,680 views

    Two obstacles must be removed before we may receive the peace God wants to give us, so long delayed and frustrated: our false pride and our negative spirit of self-accusation. Then His victory will be ours.

    The neighborhood, if you could call it that, was one of the most rundown and poverty-stricken in the city. For fifty years the housing had decayed, and, as the original residents left, absentee landlords jammed far too many people into the old dwellings. Diseases became epidemic, and fires not ...read more

    The Carpenter And His Timber Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 14, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,794 views

    Just as this amateur carpenter used rejected timber to repair a door and inserted misfit timber into a cabinet gap, so God uses rejected people and misfit churches to build the Kingdom.

    I love to watch buildings take shape. I guess it’s the frustrated engineer in me, because that is what I would be involved with if the Lord had not, some fifty years ago, told me to build churches and souls instead of structures. But I love to see buildings take shape. There is a special joy in ...read more

     | 9,119 views

    A short but challenging all-age talk using a giant home-made ’Christingle’ (an orange with a red ribbon wrapped around, four sticks with fruit & sweets on & a white candle - all symbolism). God loves the world and sent Jesus as the Light of the World.

    In November I spent two weeks in Rwanda; a small country in Africa. It is a most beautiful country. There are countless rolling green hills, many of them filled with banana trees. Fields are teeming with rice plantations and there are rows and rows of tea plants. Lake Kivu in the North is stunning. ...read more

    John Calvin, the Reformer most responsible for what we know as Presbyterianism, disliked statues, artwork, icons and the like which were used in Catholic worship in the 1500’s. He had good reason; for the depictions, relics and the like worship they themselves had become objects of worship. Yet, in ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,356 views

    The times, like those of post-Exilic Jerusalem, require us to wait. Will it be passive, impassive, or active waiting? Active waiting means seeing that what God has done He will do again. God will enlist us and shape us to work for His purposes.

    “We wait. We are bored. No, don’t protest, we are bored to death, there’s no denying it. … A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste . . . .In an instant all will vanish and we’ll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness!” So speaks one of the characters in Samuel ...read more

    John the Baptist was an unexpected person bringing an unexpected message at an unexpected time. A communion sermon for Advent.

    Every one of us has certain expectations at Christmas. We expect to buy gifts and we expect to receive gifts. We expect the lights and the colors and the sights and the sounds of the season. We expect to eat a lot! We expect long lines in the department stores, and apparently this year more than ...read more
