    The Dark Side Of Christmas

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 16, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,823 views

    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

    Message on John 1:1-12

    I am a person who enjoys words. When I study a passage of scripture I like to look up the origin of words and see what they mean in the original language. I like to put words together to convey my thoughts and often write them down in poetic form, so the first chapter of John really intrigues ...read more

    The candle is designed to give itself for the light. The candle's worth is found in darker nights. Life is cruel, we must stay focused and forgive.

    THE CANDLE IS FOR DARK PLACES? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com LIFE CAN BE SO CRUEL... IS ALL WE SPEAK NEGATIVE STUFF? ARE YOU A HOPE GIVER AT HOME?

    The Dark Night Of The Soul

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jan 6, 2022
     | 2,284 views

    The phrase “dark night of the soul” comes from a poem by St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish Carmelite monk. According to the poet, the “dark night of the soul” is synonymous with traveling the “narrow way” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:13-14.

    TITLE: THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL TEXT: 2 Cor. 4:7-10 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but ...read more

    Some of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met have been blind.

    From Darkness to Light “As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who led ...read more

    It is dark and scary living in our sinful world. But Christ lights it by: 1. Chasing the darkness out of guilty consciences, and 2. Chasing the darkness from the problems sin causes.

    Epiphany 3 Isaiah 9:1-4 If I were teaching a class called “Scary Story Writing – 101,” the very first thing my students would learn is how to write the beginning sentence of a scary story. I would have them use the classic line: “it was a dark and stormy night.” You see, darkness sets the tone for ...read more

    All people’s efforts to be right with God have failed, because people chose to exchange the truth about God for a lie. Their only hope is the Gospel of God’s grace.

    You’d have to say that there’s nothing pretty about the picture of the world that we find in this passage from Romans ch1. Here we take off the rose coloured glasses and look, with a degree of reality, at the world we live in. I was talking to someone the other day about watching television and ...read more

    This is the first of our 2019 Advent sermons. In this sermon we look at how sin has been a constant, and universal problem from the fall until the birth of Christ that first Christmas morning, and how Christ's coming, drives out that darkness and brings life and light

    Advent 2019 (Pt. 1) Text: Isaiah 9:2-7 Well it’s that time of year once again… the time when we do our Advent sermons.
