    Allowing Christ a larger place in our lives and in our world than as the Babe of Bethlehem

    Babies are something special. I can never forget what it was like to see my two girls at their birth. That is a feeling and experience that nothing else can quite match — unless it is the birth of grandchildren. There is a special feeling each time I visit new parents in the hospital. There ...read more

    An Old Testament Christmas

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 26, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 27,994 views

    Christmas begins in the OT with the promise of the Messiah.

    Christmas really begins in the Old Testament. The promise of a coming Messiah filled the pages of the Hebrew Bible, and the Jews were watching for his coming. It is interesting that the Jews use a different arrangement of the Old Testament books than we do. After the first five books there is a ...read more

    A Christmas sermon from the story of Anna on the idea that God is not finished with us yet.

    >>> The great composer Wagner had just listened to a performance of his composition “The Ring” when a friend entered the room. Wagner was sitting alone in front of a writing table and thinking.

    A House Is Not A Home

    based on 381 ratings
     | 52,802 views

    Christ comes to dwell in our messy, imperfect homes, just as they are, to build love, not a museum-like perfection.

    A house is not a home. A house is not a home. A house is a house, and it may be lovely to look at and fine to visit, but a house, by itself, is not a home. What is the difference? Let me tell you a tale of two houses. These are the best of houses, these are the worst of houses. See if you ...read more

    A King In The Gate

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 3, 2001
    based on 61 ratings
     | 4,092 views

    David’s emergence from grief over Absalom was marked by his "sitting in the gate" -- a sign of healthy recovery in that he had begun to care for others more than for his own wounds, he had returned to the work of justice, he faced vulnerability, he resumed leadership, he could face his own grief.

    I This day the noise of battle, the next the victory’s won. Or so the king hoped. Much was at stake. His own future was uncertain; the nation’s stability was shaky; the confidence of those around him was low; and, most of all, his relationship with his son was in jeopardy. There had been a ...read more

    Mary The Slave-Girl

    Contributed by David Campbell on Aug 11, 2001
    based on 71 ratings
     | 5,063 views

    At Christmas, we might wonder what made Mary so special to God? We may find the answer in one word she used to describe herself to Gabriel: "Handmaid".

    Mary the "Slave-Girl" Luke 1:26-38 Pastor Dave Campbell Mary must have been quite a girl. To be chosen of God to bear His Son and raise Him to adulthood was no small thing! When the angel Gabriel appeared to her and spoke of God’s plan for salvation and her part in it all, she responded with ...read more

    What Makes Jesus So Special?

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 75 ratings
     | 14,943 views

    Why Christmas is such an important celebration and why 2000 years after His birth, Jesus Christ is worthy of our trust, love, and devotion.

    In less than two weeks it will be Christmas and almost all of us will celebrate the birth of someone born 2000 years ago. Why? That is the question of the day. What makes Jesus Christ so special? Why isn't the birthday of Mohammed, Confucius, or Buddha the biggest holiday of the year? Why does our ...read more

     | 5,531 views

    Part of the reason Jesus is not someone people can ignore or forget, is how He lived and what He did during His thirty-three years on earth

    A panel of historians recently voted Winston Churchill as the greatest person of the 20th Century. He was born.......does anyone know when? Even a guess? It was November 30, 1874. Does anyone have any idea where Sir Winston was born? Oxfordshire, England. How about the names of his father and ...read more

     | 20,127 views

    The Wise Men remind us that true worship comes from the heart.

    Matthew 2:1-12 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?

    A Dream Come True

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 22, 2000
    based on 324 ratings
     | 27,507 views

    Like Simeon we need to realize that if all we had was Jesus Christ, that would be enough; with Jesus, our life is complete and we can be content.

    Children often dream about things they would like to do in the future. I suspect traveling in space as an astronaut, playing football in the NFL, making the Olympic figure skating team, or driving a $100,000 sports car are some of the more popular ones. When I was growing up, I dreamed of being the ...read more
