    So on the night of the birth of Jesus, before the nation had an opportunity to reject Him, or even be made aware that He had come in the flesh, the angel announces that this good news is of a ‘great joy for all the people.

    (Luke 2:1-11) 1. Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3. And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4. Joseph ...read more

    A sermon for Christmas Eve.

    "Christ is Christmas" Luke 2:1-10 Jesus Christ was born into the real world--our world--a world where women and children are brutalized, where people are machine-gunned into mass graves, where crucifixion still takes place, where babies are murdered and abducted. Jesus Christ was born into the ...read more

    Is Christ in a manger a decoration; or is He Lord of your life?

    Even many Christians will miss the real reason for the season. And we might be the cause for the world not to know Jesus. Will you take up the challenge to tell others about the birth of Christ in your very lives?

    Opening illustration: Have you ever missed a great opportunity? The story is told of a small resort area along the east coast that was having an open town meeting concerning some financial problems they were facing. Among the two dozen or so people was one man no one seemed to know who was ...read more

    There is much that stinks in this world, but Jesus' birth in a smelly manger reminds us that Jesus can be born in us. A brief sermon for Christmas Eve.

    Christmas stinks! Or, so would say the Grinch who stole Christmas. You remember the Grinch? The slinky, green ogre of a character created by Dr. Seuss whose heart was too small to love and appreciate Christmas. We know the story. All the Who’s down in Whoville make the Grinch cringe with all their ...read more

    The Hope Of Christmas

     | 21,532 views

    Man’s hope is usually built on what we expect, want, or desire to happen. But the Bible never allows the Child of God to build our hope on the likes of Man, but we are allowed to build our hope on the immutability of God Himself.

    THE HOPE OF CHRISTMAS Isaiah 9:6, 7 Isaiah 9:6,7 is a prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. At the time Isaiah prophesied these words only darkness, gloom, and despair appeared to lay in store for the Nation of Israel. Darkness as black as night prevailed upon the land through the sin of ...read more

    As the carol says, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." It's that time of year again: decorations, shopping, etc. Plans and preparations for Christmas-we all do it. Well, God was no different. He also made preparations for that first Christmas.

    CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS INTRODUCTION: Like the carol says, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go." It's that time of year again. We've transitioned from Thanksgiving to Christmas; or if you're in retail you transition from Halloween to Christmas. But now is the time for ...read more
