    Title: What were you expecting? Text: Luke 1.5-25 MP: We need to expect God everywhere.

    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.

    Sunday Morning, December 5th, 2004 Let us pray Welcome..... We are now in the final month of the year 2004, and today is the second Sunday of the Advent season. It is a time of cel-e-bra-tion of our Lord’s coming to earth as God In-car- nate; God in the flesh. Last Sunday we talked about The ...read more

     | 3,733 views

    The Christ Child stimulates a lot of controversy. What role do the followers of Jesus play in opening hearts to the gospel?

    Sermon for CATM – Advent 4 – December 20, 2009 – One Dangerous Baby Let’s all stand to read today’s Advent Scripture reading. [Luke 2:1-20] It’s funny the responses that people have to Christmas, to the story of the birth of Christ. My wife Barbara was telling me the other night that at her ...read more

    The splendor and majesty of Jesus upon His birth.

    THE SPLENDOR OF CHRISTMAS Luke 2:1-20; Matthew 2:1-12 We are probably wrong when we paint pictures, write poetry, compose music, and preach sermons depicting the Wise Men from the East bending over the crude feeding trough in a cattle stable. That was the unique experience of the Shepherds, as ...read more

    Humble Servant Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Dec 10, 2008
     | 6,905 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

    we reflect on Gabriel's announcement to Mary, what a great gift Jesus is, and how we respond.

    12.20.20 Luke 1:26–38 26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David.

     | 2,716 views

    A sermon about the hope we have in the post-holiday season, when many are left asking, "Now what?"

    INTRO Have you ever noticed how the day after Christmas is kind of a letdown? There is always this build up to Christmas. Some of us have had the decorations hung for over a month. We have sung the songs, watched the movies, bought and wrapped the gifts, and cooked the meals. There is admittedly ...read more

    Christmas Carols (2) Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Nov 19, 2019
     | 6,126 views

    The tradition of singing carols at Christmas time can be traced all the way back to the very beginning. The Nativity story, as told in the first two chapters of Luke, actually contains 4 short songs. In Luke 1, Zachariah sings about a horn, a house, and holiness.

    Christmas Carols (Zechariah) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christians Church: 12/6/15 We all have our favorite Christmas traditions, don’t we? Maybe it’s decorating the tree, visiting with family, baking cookies and setting a plate out for Santa, or just driving around town to check out all ...read more

    The older I get, the more I realize that Christmas doesn’t always arrive in peaceful places. Sometimes it breaks into the darkest nights in the coldest corners of the world.

    The Glory of Heaven Revealed to the Nations December 21, 2025 Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Luke 2:21-32 When we think of Christmas, we picture warmth—lights, family, the glow of a tree, the smell of something good in the oven.

    Explores the tension in our lives generated by the absence of Christ after his Ascension. There is, however encouragement and hope for us, both in the "already" of our present salvation and in the "not yet" of the coming consummation at Christ’s Return.

    The Real Absence of Christ Part #1 For Ascension and Pentecost 2001 Acts 1:1-11 1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 ...read more

    To what do we cling, now that the manger is empty?

    Christmas Day has past, and it is now four days later. Had Mary been able to give birth to her son in a hospital, she would’ve already been discharged, probably sometime on Friday. She and Joseph would’ve checked out of the hospital and gone home. As such, the manger is now empty, much like the ...read more

    In Luke 21.25-28, Jesus turns the curiosity about the end times into living in the present with hope for God’s purposes.

    Sermon for the first Sunday in Advent 2006 Like a similar passage in Mark, today’s Gospel forms part of Jesus’ response to discussions about the end times. For some people curiosity about the end has continued unabated down through the centuries despite Jesus’ encouragement to concentrate on ...read more
