    based on 31 ratings
     | 16,236 views

    First Fruits represents a commitment by God to us and by us to Him. He is committed to work out His will, and we are to be committed to serve Him.

    There are many things we don’t know about the Magi but we do know that they were Gentiles, they came to worship the Christ, and they brought expensive gifts. Where would they look if they came today?

    We Three (Billion?) Kings Matthew 2:1-12 December 19, 2004 Someone speculated what the first Christmas might have been like if Wise Women had come from the east instead of Wise Men.

     | 8,494 views

    A Lenten or Easter sermon using the people, things and events of Matthew’s resurrection story.

    Witness: Glorifies #3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019
     | 3,223 views

    We are called to be witnesses in the most uncomfortable situations and place so the glory of God will shine above our fears and desires.

    We began a conversation two weeks ago about what gives us meaning in this life and I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live it. To live out this belief we are ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 24, 2021
     | 9,633 views

    Sometimes Christians offend us and this can be a stumbling block to our faith. This happened to Malchus when Peter, thinking he was defending Jesus, cut off his ear. Jesus showed us a better way by healing the one that a Christian offended.

    The Shadow Of The Cross Over The Incarnation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 4,919 views

    The full significance of the Incarnation is only seen when its dark side is understood - in the Sign of a Sword to Mary’s heart, the Symbol of Myrrh as an offering from the wise men and the Sorrow of Rachael over her dead children.

    If the message of the Incarnation, the coming of Jesus into human experience, had to be condensed into a single sentence it couldn’t be bettered than the words of John: "He came to his own home and his own people received him not" (1:11). In the opening verses of his Gospel, John had already ...read more

    Sadducees Question The Resurrection Of The Dead Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 10, 2018
     | 13,572 views

    The Sadducees were the liberal theologians of that day. They denied the Resurrection of the body, the existence of angels, and miracles. In fact, their denials of all supernatural occurrences were more numerous than their affirmations.

    -Tuesday- Jerusalem (7) Sadducees Question the Resurrection of the Dead (Exodus 3:6) Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40 (focal passage) Luke 20:27-40 27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a Resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote ...read more
