    Christmas: Why Did Jesus Come To Us? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,150 views

    I’m really glad God came up with the idea of Christmas. But what did God have in mind when He created Christmas? What motivated Him to bring Christmas to us?

    Christmas is really enjoyable on so many levels. But a widow names Stella has an unusual experience on Christmas. Stella’s first Christmas as a widow brought incredible loneliness. One day her doorbell rang and she was greeted by a messenger holding a box. “What’s in the box?” she asked. The ...read more

    Parting Gifts

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 1, 2019
     | 2,798 views

    In an effort to give us the perfect gift, God did not send a general or a politician or a preacher. He took on flesh and gave us Himself. In the words of the late great preacher Wallace Hamilton: “God came walking down the stairway of Heaven with a baby in His arms.”

    Mary prepares dinner while her son, Jesus, plays at her feet. Joseph is putting away his tools as he wraps up his day. Suddenly there’s a knock on the door. When Joseph opens the door, he and Mary and Jesus are confronted with a strange and interesting sight … a group of oddly dressed men who ...read more

    There are “Bethlehems” in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, and even Texas. In fact, I located twenty-eight towns named Bethlehem around the globe and in the United States. They have streets named Manger Avenue and Shepherd Street. But Bethlehem hasn’t always been so prominent.

    Merry Christmas to you all. I look forward to seeing a lot of our church family during tonight’s three Christmas Eve services. Take a Bible and find Micah 5 (page 989 in pew Bible) and Matthew 2. You could call our series Christmas in the Old Testament. Centuries before Mary and Joseph, the Wise ...read more

    One of the most beautiful pictures of worship found in the bible is that of a lady name Mary. Her heart of worship and her acts of worship is truly something, which we must, instilled upon our lives if we want to make the church a house of worship.

    Title: Building a house fit for the King: A House of Worship Text: Matthew 26: 7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it upon His head as He reclined at the table. 8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste? 9 "For ...read more

    Have you ever considered all that Mary Sacrifice in order to be the mother of God. She gave up her reputation, the possibility of Marriage, even her own body in order to carry out God’s Plan. What are you willing to sacrifice?

    The Cost of Sacrifice 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that ...read more

    Mary was highly favoured because she was called according to God’s Purpose; that favour resulted in her being overshadowed by God’s Presence and favour led to her experience God’s Performance. We can all experience the favour of God.

    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?

    Resurrection Unexpected

     | 6,949 views

    No one really expected the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today we focus on the expectations of two of those who first saw Jesus: John and Mary. What they expected, and how Jesus actually met them, can help your relationship with Jesus too.

    No one saw it coming. No one. On the Sunday following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ no one really expected what happened (or at least it they didn’t fully comprehend it). They should have. Shortly after confirming to His men that He was the Messiah, Jesus said: Mark 8:31 “The Son of ...read more
