    Expectations And Let-Downs At Christmas Time

    Contributed by Don Schultz on Dec 8, 2004
    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,493 views

    John the Baptist wasn’t sure if Jesus was the one he was to be expecting. Sometimes, our expectations don’t come true either, especially at Christmas.

    Matthew 11:1-11: GREAT EXPECTATIONS, AND RECOGNIZING THE MIRACULOUS “Why do I feel depressed right now, when I’m supposed to feel happy?” “Why do I feel frustrated right now, when I’m supposed to feel joyful?” “This isn’t the way it was supposed to be. This isn’t what I was expecting.” What ...read more

    There's something wonderful about this season. There's something "Christmasy" about Christmas

    “The Four M’s Of Christmas” Luke 1 and 2 David P. Nolte This is a blessed time of year. Excitement fills the air, a sense of nostalgia pervades our minds, and there is a warmth in our hearts. But let me tell you about a single mother who didn't see Christmas like that. It was 1960. ...read more

    How Do You Approach Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 16, 2022
     | 3,436 views

    We are about to look at how different individuals approached Christmas. One of them took the wrong approach. The other two with the right approach to Christmas received a tremendous blessing at the first Christmas.

    After a man visited the Holy land, he described his experience. He was turned off by the commercialism. Years later he took a second trip to the Holy Land, and he looked past the commercialism to focus on the places of Bible history. He was thinking more about being in the places Jesus walked. ...read more

    The Christmas Story is full of surprises: Surprises that reassure us that GOd uses ordinary people, is in control of history, gives us significance and accepts all people.

    What’s the most important thing about Christmas for you? Is it lunch with your family? Is it singing carols? Probably not after you’ve been hearing them in the shopping centres for the last 2 months! How about Christmas presents? Are you like Garry’s wife in this cartoon?

    The Horoscope Of Jesus

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over. The time for singing carols and wishing peace and goodwill to all is finished. The presents have been handed out. The cards have all been ...read more

    At the midnight hour, when the darkness seems to overwhelm us, and the light seems so far away, it the time when cry will come from Heaven - and we shall see Lord in all His glory.

    Why is it our Christmas joy, peace, and hope are so fleeting? Perhaps, as nearly happened 2000 years ago, someone or something is trying to steal our joy.

    A favorite bed time story at this time of year is the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, by Dr. Seuss. It begins . . . Every Who Down in Who-ville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, Who lived just north of Who-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, ...read more

    The Magi heard the Word of God from the mouth of the most wicked man in the kingdom, Herod; never the less, the Holy Spirit used that word to establish faith in them moving them to continue their journey to worship the one, true king.
