    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2004
    based on 18 ratings
     | 2,157 views

    The Magnificat is an incredible moment of worshiping God. This sermon identifies 6 things we need to do, not to worship Mary, but to worship LIKE Mary.

    - Being a “Mary Worshiper” does not mean that we worship Mary, but that we worship like Mary. Becoming a “Mary Worshiper”: 1. “Mary worshipers” focus their eyes up, not in. - v. 46 - “magnifies the Lord.” - while there is certainly a need for reflection and self-examination in worship, the ...read more

    Isaiah predicts what would happen to the Stump of Jesse before it even was a stump. This is a warning and a comfort to us as we prepare for Christ’s birth.

    December 5, 2004 Isaiah 11:1-10 1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him -- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the ...read more

    We all know the story but what is it we forget about Christmas?

    Christmas, it’s probably the most celebrated holiday in the world. If you were to stop your average man on the street and ask him about Christmas, I’d be willing to bet that you would hear all of the essential ingredients of the Yule time. The virgin birth, Mary and Josephs trip to Bethlehem, the ...read more

     | 4,005 views

    This is an Advent sermon.

    Read Isaiah 11:1-10. Jesus turned the world upside down, or more appropriately, right side up. People never really understood Jesus. Paul said, “For those who live in Jerusalem…did not recognize him” (Acts 13:27). Everyone expected a military-political leader. Jesus closest disciples didn’t ...read more

     | 6,335 views

    Part 1 of MERRY CHRISTMAS SERIES! There is ANOTHER SIDE OF CHRISTMAS. To the Bible characters who played an important role on that first Christmas day, it was not necessarily all peace and joy and love.

    Introduction It would be difficult to imagine Christmas without lights, good food; without new clothes, new shoes, new toys for the children, without parties; without merrymaking. Since childhood we have known Christmas in the Philippines to be a day of fun, festivities, that is almost impossible ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,196 views

    John the Baptist wasn’t sure if Jesus was the one he was to be expecting. Sometimes, our expectations don’t come true either, especially at Christmas.

    Matthew 11:1-11: GREAT EXPECTATIONS, AND RECOGNIZING THE MIRACULOUS “Why do I feel depressed right now, when I’m supposed to feel happy?” “Why do I feel frustrated right now, when I’m supposed to feel joyful?” “This isn’t the way it was supposed to be.

    Communion Meditation for December 4, 2005

    TS Eliot wrote one of my favorite Christmas poems many years ago entitled, ‘Journey of the Magi.’ Written from the perspective of one of the Magi, it contains a very reflective perspective on the travels to find the Christ child and the results of that meeting. A cold coming we had of it. Just ...read more
