    Christmas day is often depicted as a time of peace, tranquillity and hope. However there is another aspect to the arrival of Jesus which should make the church realise that we are in a serious battle with Satan.

    Congregation in the Lord Jesus Christ Think of “Christmas” and what are the thoughts that come to your mind? • peace and tranquillity. • shepherds on a hill being serenaded by an angelic choir. • Magi crossing the desert on a quiet night as they make the long journey to Bethlehem. • a child ...read more

    God had a precise plan for us that began before the first pebble was placed on the earth. It was designed to have a direct personal impact.

    Intro: Do you remember the Looney Tunes cartoon with Wile E Coyote aka Ralf E Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog. Wile E is always planning and scheming to capture and eat the sheep. Wile E seems to always have the best plans, like the time he lulled Sam to sleep with sleep dog sleep music. But int the ...read more

    The very season which ought to bring security and hope instead brings insecurity and hopelessness. That's why we need to hear God's message to Samuel.

    “The Difference Christmas Makes: The Security of Christmas” 2 Sam. 7:1-17 Christmas, for many people, is a time of great insecurity. There are adults whose frustrations increase and self-image drops because they cannot provide gifts for their children. Some children feel unloved or ...read more

    So on the night of the birth of Jesus, before the nation had an opportunity to reject Him, or even be made aware that He had come in the flesh, the angel announces that this good news is of a ‘great joy for all the people.

    (Luke 2:1-11) 1. Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3. And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4. Joseph ...read more

    Even many Christians will miss the real reason for the season. And we might be the cause for the world not to know Jesus. Will you take up the challenge to tell others about the birth of Christ in your very lives?

    Opening illustration: Have you ever missed a great opportunity? The story is told of a small resort area along the east coast that was having an open town meeting concerning some financial problems they were facing. Among the two dozen or so people was one man no one seemed to know who was ...read more

     | 4,535 views

    When we look back at the life of Mary I see 2 extreme points of view that have surfaced. 1. Many believers have chosen to worship Mary. 2. Others have chosen to completely ignore Mary. The scripture does not support either approach.

    Mary’s Christmas Luke 1:26-38 Most of us recognize that Christmas can actually be one of the most stressful times of the year. For pastors and their families things do not usually slow down—instead things just get busier. For many in the church and community there are those feeling ...read more

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    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
