Hacedores De Paz

Contributed by José Soto on Apr 3, 2006

Dios no nos ha llamado a estudiar o hablar de la paz sino hacer la paz. No que no sea necesario estudiarla y aprender mucho de ella, sino que si ese estudio no va acompañado de la acción es vana palabrería y pérdida de tiempo.

Hacedores de paz Mateo 5.9 INTRODUCCIÓN ¡Al mundo paz, nació Jesús! Nació ya nuestro Rey; El corazón ya tiene luz, Y paz su santa grey, y paz su santa grey, Y paz, y paz su santa grey.

Out Of Frustration...peace Series

Contributed by Stephen Colaw on Dec 11, 2006

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

Peace On Earth

The Wise Still Seek Him

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 12, 2006

Using the story of the wise men to teach us how God seeks us and brings us to seek the Christ.

The story of the wise men visiting the Christ child is an intriguing one. These men began a long trip to Israel simply because a particular star was in the sky, alerting them to the birth of the king of the Jews. They traveled for several months finally meet the Christ child in person. I believe ...read more

Why Me Lord? -Mary Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Dec 14, 2006

When God chooses a person to do his work, he does so with perfect insight and understanding of what kind of person he needs to get the job done. Our role is not to question his instructions but rather to submit and obey.

I love the movie “A Christmas Story”. You know – the one with the young boy who dreams of getting a b.b. gun for Christmas. It’s got schoolyard bullies and neighbors dogs roaming through the house, and childhood dreams and memories of the way life used to be all wrapped up in one. This year ...read more

Evalueation Series

Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 14, 2006

In this second sermon in the series Discover the REAL Christmas we discover what is really valuable at Christmas. For Mary and Joseph, God’s grace, blessing and favor were worth more than anything!

My family had received a mailbox full of “valuable offers” every day this month.

Can you ...read more
