     | 3,121 views

    Christmas is more than just a holiday to celebrate the break we get from work or school. Christmas is a time to celebrate; a time to proclaim; a time to demonstrate.

    JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON Text: Luke 2:4-7 People have always searched for the meaning of life in order to fill some void that they feel. Some try to fill that void with material things. Others try to fill that void by trying to gain power so as to prove their ...read more

    Why did Jesus come to earth?

    Walking The Road To Bethlehem: Mary Learns She Will Bear The Son Of God

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021
     | 1,222 views

    Why do we remind ourselves of the coming of Jesus? I always wondered that as a child. The reason is very simple: The cares of this world, job, college, family, and the various pleasures of life can crowd out the true center of our lives, which is Jesus.

    Welcome, officially to the Christmas season. As we call it, “advent.” Why do we have this season of advent? What is advent? Advent literally means “the arrival.” And specifically, the arrival of an important individual. So this advent season we’re going to be taking a journey, to recall and refresh ...read more

     | 3,611 views

    A MISFIT is “a person who’s not like everyone else – they’re different.” We Christians are supposed to be different -- we're supposed to be like Jesus! Jesus turned the world right-side-up because it was upside down. Has He touched you yet?

    R.C. Sproul once said, “What we celebrate is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself.” (Critical concept to remember – not just a birthday celebration!) Today, it is my prayer that we would be focused on this truth and that we’d see this story in a fresh light!

    Introduction - “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival" -- The focus of this season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ -- His birth is his First Advent, his first coming, to a world in great need -- It also reflects on the ...read more

    What do we know about the birth of Jesus? It may be easier to list what we do not know about his birth. Because no date is given we do not know when he was born. We don’t know who was with him at his birth. My guess is Joseph and Mary were in a house with his relatives (who were also descendants of ...read more
