    In James 1:9-12, James helps us understand that in order for us to persevere in our trials with joy, we must adopt God’s eternal perspective on poverty and wealth.

    Allow me to start with two stories to get us thinking about perspectives on having too much or too little money. 1. I read about an exclusive school in Hollywood that was attended by children of movie stars, producers, and directors. a. One day, the children were asked to write a composition on ...read more

    Faith in Jesus brought the Canaanite woman into his presence. Her faith was pleasing to Jesus, and he blessed her through it, and included her into table fellowship with him. Faith in Jesus makes us acceptable to him and a delight.

    Matthew 15: 21-28 Faith Like A Dog Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. The lake district had been a busy place for Jesus, calming the storms in people’s lives and dealing with their unfulfilled needs. It was also a place where Jesus was challenged by some of ...read more

     | 6,066 views

    Some tend to over emphasize Mary; while others tend to nearly dismiss her. What can we learn from Scriptures that show us the heart of Mary? Mary is indeed a good example for us to follow.

    Observing Mary Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder.

    Has the Bethlehem child changed your life? If He is your Lord and King … if He reigns over your heart and soul … if He has changed your life … then He rules over your heart and soul and life with perfect truth and grace then you can’t help but sing: Joy to the world!

    I head a story about a woman who was doing her last-minute Christmas shopping at a crowded mall. She was tired of standing in lines. She was tired of fighting her way down long aisles looking for a gift … only to find out that it had sold out days before. Her arms were full of bulky packages ...read more

    In a world where much is taken in the removal of innocence we can make a difference in prayer. Follow Jesus pattern, prayer and involvement.

    Luke 11: 1-13, Pray don’t prey! Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray. The prayer he teaches them is the Prayer that we now know as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’. He then sums the whole thing about praying up with a bit of a story. Jesus said something like this. “Suppose ...read more

    Would you like to be a successful Christian parent? Would you like to raise your children so that they’ll please God? Paul gives us powerful guidelines on how to make a difference in our child’s life.

    OPEN - I read a poem several years ago that went this way: If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours... If it doesn’t, it never was. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, takes your money, and doesn’t appear to realize that ...read more

     | 7,760 views

    Christmas brought three questions which every person needed to deal with as they encountered the Christ child. Christmas isn’t so much about what God has done for us as it is about our response to the Christ child and to these questions.

    The Questions of Christmas Luke 2:8-20 It’s tough to miss Christmas if you live in America today. We hear the ads on the radio and TV, see the lighted houses and buildings, the decorated yards in our neighborhoods, and the displays inside every store remind us Christmas is coming in case we’ve ...read more

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon.

    Everlasting Father. Of all the titles given to the Christ-child, this one, Everlasting Father, probably raises the most questions. It is really intriguing. After all, how can a child be a father? And how can a newborn be so old as to be called everlasting?

    Alba 12-26-2021 EVERLASTING FATHER Isaiah 9:6 You know, God couldn’t wait to tell people about the coming of Christmas. So 700 years beforehand, 2,700 years ago now, God foretold the Christmas story by choosing a prophet named Isaiah to tell the world about a an amazing baby. Isaiah’s prophecy ...read more
