    A very predictable Prediction

    A Predictable Christmas December 24, 2022 Isaiah 9:1-7 We live in a world filled with constant change. When we watch the news, we see the changes taking place, but who hasn’t been watching the weather the past few days. Sometimes, it’s nice not to have any change.

    Holding On To Christmas

    How are we as followers of Jesus to react to the "Christmas War" that is going on in our society? We find the answer in 1 Peter 3.8-16. We must be careful as followers of Christ to reveal His way not ours.

    There were a number of reactions to Jesus that first Christmas: some were troubled by Him, others were indifferent to Him, and still others were seekers of Christ.

    REACTIONS TO CHRISTMAS Mt. 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. There are a lot of things we celebrate this time of year. Several major holidays; a. December 5 is National Ninja Day. Some of you say, “I didn’t see that coming.” That’s because it’s Ninja Day. b. December 16 is officially ...read more

    Christmas Hope

    If we don’t allow the hustle and bustle of the world’s hectic race to find the perfect gift, and if we step back and look at the real reason we celebrate, our hearts are happier. We smile more. Hopefully we get a little bit closer to those we love, not always, but we can hope for that.

    Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday that we were in the advent season. For those that may not know what Advent is, Advent is the 4 Sundays after Thanksgiving that lead up to Christmas day. This year there are actually 5 Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. So, our Advent ...read more

    The surprise of Christmas is that God loved us enough to send us His Son to die for our sins.

    The Surprise of Christmas Text: Luke 2:1-7 Introduction 1. Illustration: Every year at Christmas, my Mother and I would play this little game of cat and mouse. She would try to keep me from knowing what I was getting for Christmas, and I would do all in my power to find out before ...read more

    From the examples of Herod and the Wise Men, we can learn about how we should respond to the message and meaning of Christmas.

    The gifts that the Magi brought to honor Jesus are often cited in any attempt to explain the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas. Too often, however, our focus at Christmas is more of the gifts we receive, rather than the Gift God gave. A family celebrated Christmas each year by singing “Happy ...read more

    A Christmas Eve message that uses the childhood account of Steve Hugo to demonstrate why the incarnation is meaningless apart from the rest of Jesus’ life.

    Tonight, I’d like to share an autobiographical account written by a man named Steve Hugo about his childhood and his next door neighbor. For as far back as I can remember, I always treated Old Man Jones, my neighbor, in the worst ways. Each April 1st, I had the "burning paper bag with dog poop in ...read more

    A Christmas sermon for 2009 preached the Sunday following at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    In the Christmas gospel, we are given a word picture of that first Nativity Scene in the stable in Bethlehem. It’s a picture that has been burned into the minds of Christians and non-Christians alike. Some of you might even have one set up in your yard or in your home. We have one set up outside ...read more

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,244 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

    The Surprise of Christmas Matthew 3:1-12 What are your expectations of Christmas this year? There is no season of the year so full of nostalgia and ripe with expectation than Christmas.

    How should we prepare for the birthday of King Jesus? John the Baptist calls us to repentance, to preparing the way for him into our lives and making straight a highway into our hearts.

    [Sermon preached on 17 December 2017, 3rd Sunday in Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Every year again I am surprised how much time and energy goes into preparing for Christmas. So many things to do… and in the end so few things that really matter. The famous American author John Grisham wrote ...read more

    What do we do after Christmas? The magi and shepherds illustrate some things God wants us to do after encountering the glory of the truth of the Incarnation.

    After Christmas Introduction Today is the day after Christmas. Many of us are tired. It has been a long week of celebration, food, fun, family, and gift exchanges.
