    God's Hope In Troubled Times

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 12, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,068 views

    Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

    When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more

    Brood Of Vipers

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Dec 14, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,052 views

    What drove the man who wore rags rather than “Botany 500” was being true to God’s calling on his life – making certain his generation understood genuine faith and power. There have always been a lot of mistaken ideas about that.

    John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, ’We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up ...read more

    Christmas: Nothing's Impossible With God!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 16, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,429 views

    Elizabeth was pregnant against all ’odds’. Mary was to become pregnant even though she was a virgin! What seems ’impossible’ in your life right now? What is God saying to your situation?

    “Nothing is impossible with God” (1:37). What is going on in your life right now which seems impossible to solve? What has happened, or what is happening at the moment which you think might be beyond or outside of God’s care and control? Is it one of these: Is it your children; a family member; a ...read more

    (This was a short message preached at the end of our children’s Christmas pageant.) For many people Christmas isn’t here until they’ve seen the Kid’s Christmas Pageant. There’s something about the innocence of Children that makes the story come alive and we saw that this morning. I that what ...read more
