Christmas Story Was In Unimpressive Surroundings - Yet A Spectacular Event

Contributed by Tim Baker on Dec 19, 2017

The birth of Christ was in an unimpressive city, with an unimpressive birthing room, with an unimpressive crib, with unimpressive visitors, for the most impressive event in human history. Why did Jesus start with such humble beginnings?

People Of The First Christmas-The Magi Or Wise Men Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 29, 2020

Even though the Magi or "wise men" have had a Christmas carol or two (or more) written about them, they're only mentioned in one paragraph of Matthew's Gospel. They came from a far distance, worshiped the Christ Child, and then went back home, never to be heard from again.

Introduction: the shepherds of Bethlehem were the only recorded visitors to go see Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus on the night He was born. Sometime later, Matthew recorded that “wise men (KJV)” or magi (several other translations) came to Jerusalem. The purpose of their visit was to worship the One ...read more

God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021

No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more
