    Christmas is a paradox. The Christmas story is filled with the unexpected—the unimaginable. And yet the Christ Child was born amidst these paradoxes; let’s for a few moments think the paradox of Christmas.

    CHRISTMAS PARADOX "The Nativity" “As helpless as He was He deserved more privacy. Yet they gathered and stared, not completely understanding what they saw—just that they had to see. . . “Mary was tired and sore and a little sick.

    Cubs’ fans blame curses and a kid but not their own team for their failures. We will blame anyone and anything rather than take repsonsibility for ourselves and our moral failures, teen pregnancy, violence, evil during Halloween. God says no more!

    Joseph was blessed by his father prior to dying, but it was the hand of God that sustained Joseph throughout his life.

    Intro. We come to our eighth sermon in the Life of Joseph. We began with the change in his father. He has gone from the son that was favored to the sovereign leader of the Egyptian kingdom. To do that, God allowed him to go into a pit, a place of temptation, a prison, and then the palace. His ...read more

    You are going to face opposition when you set out to be dedicated and devoted to God, when you determine to rebuild broken walls of spiritual significance in your life. The devil is on the job, and his primary goal is to render your life ineffective for

    This chapter begins with the names of a couple of fellows who did not want to see the walls rebuilt around Jerusalem. It may very well be that they weren’t all that concerned about walls, but that they were representative of a larger group who simply had no regard for the Jews and didn’t want them ...read more

    You cannot sensibly divorce "Christ the King" from Christmas - for why else would we remember the birth of a child born in an obscure part of the world 200 years ago unless he was different

    SOWING BY ITS VERY NATURE IS ABOUT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE, NOT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. You sow into dirt because you want strawberries. Three principles that show how hard sowing can be: The principle of death; delay; and the principle of deceit.

    Sowing in Hard Places How many of you have heard a preacher somewhere tell you that you want to sow your seed into good soil so that you can receive a good harvest? Makes sense that we should sow our seed into the best soil possible doesn’t it? No farmer in his right mind sows seed into bad soil. ...read more
