    Out Of Frustration...peace Series

    Just as God worked in the frustration of the first Christmas, He can use our frustrations and hurts to bring peace to us and to others.

    Introduction: [“12 Crazy Days of Christmas” video from Sermonspice.com] Holiday frustration. I think that little clip sums it up pretty well. The time of year when we focus on peace, we often find very little of it. The season that is supposed to celebrate the birth of the “Prince of Pease” is ...read more

    The child in the manger was no mere child. In this sermon we investigate all the Jesus is.

    A. Most of you are aware that the date for Christ’s birth remains a mystery and that December 25th was in ancient times a Roman holiday to celebrate the passing of the winter solstice and the lengthening of the days which would lead to spring and summer. 1. Many centuries ago this date was chosen ...read more

     | 11,237 views

    We can get complacent when driving the same route every day and become oblivious to the dangers - and Christians can become so used to the manger we get complacent with the meaning of it.

    I heard the story once of a great Cherokee wood carver. He took logs and sat them on a stump outside his back door and sat in front of that log sometimes for hours just staring at it. Finally, he would pick up his carving tools and start carving the most beautiful of things out of the wood. He ...read more

    Even at Christmas we need Easter! Using the true story of a little girl who died on Christmas morning, this sermon points out that there are times when the darkness in life requires a light that is brighter than the Christmas message alone.

    A little girl touched our lives this Christmas. The last eight days of her brief life moved us away from our materialistic Christmas selfishness and turned our attention to someone in need. She reminded us of something all too often forgotten in our typical expressions of Christmas gift-giving, ...read more

    Finding Out Who Really Cares Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 6, 2008

    Who really cares? NOT those who are full of fear, like Herod. But those who believe from the beginning and who give gifts for the future, like the wise men; and those who sacrifice to protect, like Joseph.

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people you do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s distant, it’s limited to transactions. We deal with people who may not even ...read more
