Sermons on Baby Boomers:

When Parental Guidance Slumps To Parental Negligence

Contributed by Philip Harrelson on Jan 29, 2008

This is a strong call to the parents in the home who are raising children. I used this as a baby dedication message.

Genesis 33:17-20 KJV And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. [18] And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before ...read more

The Epiphany Of The Lord-- The Divine Light Within

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 31, 2021

The only evidence the Magi had as they entered the shabby surroundings of a manger was that this baby was being shined on by a star.

I saw a comic strip recently about the star that guided the magi from the east. The star is nervous and sweating while placing a desperate 911 call, saying: “Operator, these three men on camels have been following me all night! I stop, they stop. I go, they go. I’m so scared….” The epiphany is ...read more

What Do The Magi's Gifts Mean Today?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021

The gifts that the magi presented to the baby Jesus have metaphorical meaning. What do they mean today?

The story about the three magi visiting the baby Yeshua is a problematic story. If such an event took place, why is it only found in Matthew's Gospel? The idea of three magi traveling from Persia to Judea is fascinating. The narrative says that they followed the Bethlehem star. Many people ...read more

Slapped In The Face With Love Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Dec 24, 2017

A sermon about taking Jesus to the party, and why God loves you enough to be born as a baby

One little known fact about Father Christmas - and I am not making this up - is that in the year 325AD he punched someone in the face. I am sure he was very sorry about it afterwards. It certainly flies in the face of Jesus’s teaching about loving your enemies. Father Christmas is best known for ...read more

Living Word Series

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Feb 20, 2015

The "new birth" gives us a desire for the Word of God. Peter uses the analogy of a baby that is born into this world, from the moment of birth the baby has a hunger. When we are "born again" we have a hunger to know more about God.

A Reason To Party Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 26, 2010

It’s an odd phenomena: people stealing the baby Jesus from Nativity scenes. It’s called the "Stolen Baby Jesus Syndrome." Why would people do that, and what does it tell us about mankind and God?

OPEN: A few years back, Wellington, FL had their baby Jesus stolen two years running. This was a wealthy community and their Jesus was worth around $1800. The third time around they put a GPS inside and traced the thief to her home. But the baby Jesus doesn’t have to be expensive. In 2008, in ...read more

What Am I Supposed To Do With My Unanswered Questions?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2017

This message focuses on Luke 2:6-7 and the unanswered questions that Mary and Joseph must have had as they end up in with no decent place to stay when the baby comes. How could God be with them and she have to put the baby in a manger?

SOME OF MARY AND JOSEPH'S QUESTIONS: “God, why have the birth so far from home?” “God, why didn’t You provide a place for us to stay?” “God, how can this be the place for the miracle child to be born?” - Luke 2:6-7. - I’m sure when the angel visited Mary and told her that she’d be carrying this ...read more

Christmas Eve Series

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Dec 22, 2021

There’s nothing more helpless than a newborn baby. There’s no one weaker than a mom who has just given birth. That’s how this story begins – two frightened teenagers in a barn with a God baby.

Christmas Eve 2021 Luke 2:1-10 NIV In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, ...read more

Paul, The Model Convert Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 2, 2015

Paul was a model preacher, missionary, leader theologian. But he began as a baby Christian like all of us. He was also a model baby Christian. This sermon teaches us how we can grow in Christ and maximize our usefulness for the kingdom of God.

Complications Of The New Birth Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

In the spiritual realm it has always been possible to have babies after you are dead. The Apostle Paul gave birth to many new babies for the kingdom of God in his lifetime, but he has given birth to millions more after his death.

Can dead people have babies? If you think not, you have not kept up on modern technology in baby making. They can now freeze human embryos in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 321 degrees below zero and keep them for up to 600 years, and then implant them in a woman, and she will have a baby. ...read more
