     | 12,083 views

    Joseph was asked to believe the impossible. This Christmas, we are asked to do the same.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Believing the Impossible (communion this Sunday) Is it good or bad to be skeptical? Sometimes, it’s good, isn’t it? When you receive an email from someone you don’t know, and that someone says to you that they want to help you, but they need some information. If you could ...read more

    Christmas is not primarily about Jesus’ infancy. Christmas is primarily about Jesus’ deity. This sermon observes several truths which affirm Jesus’ deity.

    Scripture The most common pattern for planning worship services in Christian churches throughout the centuries has been through the use of the Christian calendar. The Christian calendar, developed in antiquity, was the way in which churches worshiped up until the Reformation. After the ...read more

    Too Pooped To Pray Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 5, 2004
    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,883 views

    When spiritual exhaustion strikes, we fail to pray. It means that we have not dealt with our control issues, and we compromise principle to save ourselves. But God will give us a sign of His presence, even when we do not ask.

    There is a weariness of heart that goes so deep, it puts us in danger of losing our souls. There is an exhaustion of the soul that goes so far inside us that, if someone does not do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, we wiII be lost in despair. There is a weariness of heart, an exhaustion of ...read more

    The Olive: Exhaustion Series

    based on 61 ratings
     | 21,886 views

    How do we replenish our exhaustion? The world into which Jesus was born was spiritually weary. We too are worn out from conflict, moral uncertainty. God has acted to come among us and to give us power to become.

    “All ye, beneath life’s crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way, with painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing!” You don’t have to look long to find examples ...read more

    Today, we look at the wise men. There is one thing which sets this God encounter apart from the others in the Nativity story. Mary, the shepherds and Joseph weren’t expecting or looking for anything special to happen in their lives. The Magi weren’t eithe

    The 1st Sunday in advent is a time to focus on the second coming of Christ and making sure we are prepared.

    It’s hard to believe but we are already into the Christmas season, and I’m not talking about the shopping season that began on black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I am referring to the Christian season we call Advent. As I’ve already mentioned we are in the first Sunday of Advent which ...read more

    The news of Mary’s pregnancy to Joseph as a reminder that God has a plan and is with us in troubled times.

    Life seemed good for Joseph, he was betrothed to a wonderful God fearing woman, Mary, which in their culture meant they were practically married already except they would live apart while the husband would make a home for them, typically adding a room onto his father’s home. So here was Joseph ...read more

    Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Dec 25, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,771 views

    Angels always approach humans with "Don’t be afraid." Easier said than done. We are very afraid.

    As a kid fear was a great experience. Especially if it involved SOMEBODY ELSE being afraid. Christmas and Easter are great holidays, but when I was a kid, Halloween was the most fun. Dressing up like some ghost or monster and jumping out of the bushes to yell, “boo!” And to see your best friend ...read more

    What are you living for this Christmas?

    There was always a lot of excitement at my house on Christmas morning. The night before, we would be debating with my parents about what time we could wake them up. Usually they would start somewhere around 7:00 and my brothers and I would start somewhere around 5:00. We would usually compromise ...read more

    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

    2005 Christmas Sermon

    I begin this morning with two views of Christmas. View number one: My husband and I had been happily (most of the time) married for five years, but hadn’t been blessed with a baby. I decided to do some serious praying and promised God that if He would give us a child, I would be a perfect mother, ...read more
