    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 30, 2001
    based on 200 ratings
     | 77,034 views

    Christmas is hope personified. It highlights the fact that Christianity is essentially a religion of hope.

    Today we began the Advent season by lighting the first Advent candle, the candle of hope. As we heard a few minutes ago, this candle reminds us of the hope God gave His people when He promised to send them a Messiah, a Savior, a Deliverer.

    People today like to go along with the majority; they like to go along with the influential, they like to go along with those who think they know, but I prefer to go along with the Lord and believe his report.

    Humble Servant Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Dec 10, 2008
     | 5,912 views

    It seems in the birth of Christ that God took humility to a whole other level. From the outset, God seems to be saying humility is more than an attitude; it is a way of life. One of the first identities we find in the birth of Christ is ultimate humility

    Humble Servant Luke 2:1-7 We’re starting a series today called “Born Identity,” where we will consider the identity of the Christ child as he entered the world. Today’s message on humility may be the most difficult message. I’ve had to do a lot of research for this sermon and two of the books I’ve ...read more
