    Part 4 of our advent series looks at the much often forgotten character of Joseph who was called to raise the Christ Child as his earthly father. Joseph was an example of how to live an obedient and surrendered life.

    Jesus. What Child is This? Part 3- Some Surrender: Joseph’s Obedience Matthew 1:16, 18-25 In the 7 years I have been a pastor I have noticed a very consistent trend that happens during Christmas time.

    Christmas declares, “Joy to the world, the Lord has come.” God’s desire is that we would experience the good tidings of great joy proclaimed by the angels 2,000 years ago.

    REDISCOVERING THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS OPENING THOUGHT: Christmas… is it really the most wonderful time of the year? • Many people find this season stressful and depressing! ILLUSTRATION: Typical of last minute Christmas shoppers, a mother was running furiously from store to store. Suddenly she ...read more

    Facing a new year we can learn from how the Magi visited Jesus

    It is disheartening when someone you’ve respected in their chosen field ends up being nothing more than a lost soul. John Antrobus, a playwright and author, shared a Christmas he spent with Peter Sellers in a December 27 article. He got a call in 1977 inviting him to come over Christmas Day. During ...read more

    Mary is a model of how to find joy

    LUKE 1: 46-50 REJOICING IN THE GIFT- 12/16/07 I’m sure you’re well aware that the theme for today is JOY. “Rejoicing in the Gift.” The banner announces the theme, the songs we sang, the story for the children. Yet, I know Christmas is not a season of joy for many people. Last ...read more

    John the Baptist understood the power of the miracles, but wanted judgment to accompany them. He was having trouble waiting for justice -- as we do.

    Third Sunday in Advent -- Lectionary A: Isaiah 35:1-10; Psalm 146:4-9; James 5:7-10; Matthew 11:2-12 I was cleaning out some things this week and came across some papers, among which were some cartoons I had saved.

    Joseph had to learn that what God thinks of him was more important than what others thought of him. It was more important than his reputation. It gave him a new identity.

    Rediscovering Christmas Getting a Bad Rep Matthew 1:18-25 December 16, 2007 Last week we say how John was born to be wild. This week as we rediscover Christmas, we are going to examine a crucial figure in the Christmas story: Joseph. I will begin with a story about a woman named Margaret. ...read more

    A look at the "wise men" and what we can learn today as modern wise men and women

    I guess that male bashing is the order of the day in some circles and now it’s reached even to the three wise men. Recently, I saw something that suggested that if the wise men had been women, things would have been different and better. First, if the wise men had been women, they ...read more

    Roots Alive!

    Contributed by Kathy Findley on Oct 25, 2003
    based on 74 ratings
     | 17,859 views

    The premise of this sermon is that sometimes there is much more disappointment in our hearts than hope! Advent’s message through the Prophet Isaiah is that hope is hidden deep within us, safe and secure, and is ready to burst forth in renewed life.

    Advent II- Hope It was just this word of hope the people desperately needed to hear--the words that Isaiah wrote about the dry-looking stump with a green shoot growing out of it. The Israelites felt hopeless, in despair. The words Isaiah wrote told of that despairing and proclaimed that the ...read more

    Isaiah the prophet communicated the prophecy about Immanuel to Ahaz. An angel communicated the promise of Jesus to Joseph. Ahaz responded in fear. Joseph responded in trust.

    “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel.” Most of you are familiar with the story: Joseph had learned that Mary was with child, and he was making plans to divorce her quietly. An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying to Joseph: ...read more

    When we talk about Advent, we must begin by talking not about Jesus at first, but about the world he came to. Jesus came into a broken world, to live life with us, among the ruins.

    To understand Christmas you must understand it's Reality, Reason and Result.

    WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? A couple of years ago on America’s Funniest Home Videos, a young boy was shown on Christmas morning. He came down to see a large present beside the tree and ran over to tear it open to see what was inside. The paper went flying and suddenly he broke into a dance and jumped ...read more
