    Christians And Christmas, Part 2 - Our Traditions Series

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Nov 29, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,552 views

    Last time we learned that the many and varied traditions that we associate with Christmas in America today are from a variety of nations and faith systems and ethnicities. Today we are going to look at some of the traditions that make up the Christmas hol

    As Christmas draws nearer and homes and businesses become more decorated with the symbols of the holiday, I believe it is good for us to pause and reflect on why we do what we do this time of year. Is it simply for traditions’ sake, or is there a more significant meaning? J.I. Packer wrote, “All ...read more

    A challenge to Christ-like living; considering the ramifications of our behaviour to our witness

    "Smell," said Helen Keller, "is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived.

    The Lesson Of The Wine

    Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Oct 29, 2003
    based on 37 ratings
     | 5,870 views

    The little things in the Bible are easy to overlook, yet it all has meaning. In the miracles at the wedding in Cana, the 240,000 servings of wine can teach us about the difference between the Law and the Spirit, God’s Grace and God’s character.

    I love weddings. I have only had the occasion to perform two weddings and those were both great and special occasions for me. I had so much fun. And weddings are supposed to be fun. I think we should take a lesson from 1st century Judaism on how to party. The usual festivities consisted of a ...read more

    Where Are The Chairs?

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Oct 25, 2007
     | 2,268 views

    The Lords Supper - As the church - a time of unity. Who is worthy? A priviledge and not a gift.

    Where are the chairs? 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 This morning I expanded to include a few more lines of scripture than I gave to Dorothy. I am guessing that having more scripture instead of less is not a problem. That doesn’t make the reading of scripture to be too long or anything does it? I ...read more

They were tired and desperate to get home, so they decided to take a shortcut through a cemetery. They got to about the middle of the graveyard, and they were startled and ...read more

     | 6,221 views

    This message was originally delivered at a community Thanksgiving address recounting the contributions of the Puritans to our American heritage, and challenging Christians to remember and preserve their Christian heritage.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) We owe a great debt to the Puritans of the New England colonies who started the tradition of Thanksgiving.
