Our Refuge And Strength Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program.

Walking The Road To Bethlehem: Mary Learns She Will Bear The Son Of God

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

Why do we remind ourselves of the coming of Jesus? I always wondered that as a child. The reason is very simple: The cares of this world, job, college, family, and the various pleasures of life can crowd out the true center of our lives, which is Jesus.

Welcome, officially to the Christmas season. As we call it, “advent.” Why do we have this season of advent? What is advent?

Joseph And Pharoah - Joseph Out Of Prison Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Sep 24, 2020

Joseph out of the prison Gen. 41: 1-56 When we last left Joseph, he was serving out a sentence for a crime he didn't commit in a place where the sun never shines - the dungeon for the king's prisoners. Chapter 41:1 tells us that Joseph has marked two entire years doing hard time. Two ...read more

Where Is Your Treasure?

Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on Mar 16, 2020

I will like to ask you as a child of God that what are your treasures? What do you place priority on? What do you place value on? Are your treasure based on the worldly possessions or do you mind the things of God.

The Punk In Me

Contributed by Jim Caswell on Nov 22, 2016

Under the right circumstances even the best of us will will say no to God and let our "punk within us" take over. Only Jesus can deal with the "punk" in me. God makes a way to deal with our sinful nature through a child at Christmas.

Miracle Of The Mediator Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 17, 2018

It can be easy to lose our Jesus given identity because of temptation, physical weakness or lack of faith. Advent is a time to remember that the child in the manger is also the one seated at the right hand of God and he is able to identify fully with us – but is without sin.

Message - Advent Miracles Hebrews 4:14-16 The Miracle of the Mediator Through our Advent series we have been considering the miracles which take place as a result of Jesus revealing Himself to the world in the flesh. A word that keeps coming through out of this series is “identity”. Who are we ...read more

Gifts For The Lord

Contributed by Robert Dovenmuehle on Dec 25, 2012

The magi brought extravagant gifts for the baby Jesus even though they could not know what this child would do. We know that Jesus the Christ is God and saves us from our sin. What gifts do we bring to our Lord?

Today we observe Epiphany, the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, with the visitation of the magi to the baby Jesus. The visit of the magi is probably the most misunderstood part of the Christmas story. The magi are often depicted in nativity scenes as if they arrived for the birth of Jesus, ...read more

Contributed by Numeriano P. Galgo, Jr on Oct 20, 2024
