    "Responding To Christmas" Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 3, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 15,369 views

    From the examples of Herod and the Wise Men, we can learn about how we should respond to the message and meaning of Christmas.

    The gifts that the Magi brought to honor Jesus are often cited in any attempt to explain the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas. Too often, however, our focus at Christmas is more of the gifts we receive, rather than the Gift God gave. A family celebrated Christmas each year by singing “Happy ...read more

    God became a man so that He could die for our sins.

    John’s Gospel has been called the Gospel of Decision. In its pages we are urged to believe the truth about Jesus Christ. “I am a historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ ...read more

    Making A Positive Impact For Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 7, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,341 views

    John the Baptist made a big impact on many people. This sermon encourages people to make a positive impact (for Jesus) upon people, and not simply to be going through the motions

    Just occasionally we come across someone who makes a big impact upon us. Early in my life John Stainer made an impact upon me. At the time he had a big bushy beard – a bit like I imagine John the Baptist. John was my Sunday school teacher (John Stainer that is, not the Baptist), and he made an ...read more

    Jesus comes in the wilderness of our lives. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. And that is where his followers are called to be: in the "wild-ness" and brokenness of people’s lives showing the love and mercy of God.

    Rediscovering Christmas Born to be Wild Mark 1:1-8 December 9, 2007 Last week we started rediscovering Christmas by looking at the story before the story of the birth of Christ and that is the story of Zecariah and Elizabeth.

    Mary, A Believer

    One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree of finality, but we can safely infer that God knew her heart, that she was a young woman of faith, who would agree with God against all odds.

    Gabriel, the deliverer of God’s important news, the heavenly postmaster, said, “Mary, rejoice, because you have found favor with God. God is with you, and you are blessed among women.” One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree ...read more
