    Why does Matthew add the story of the slaughter of the baby boys in Bethlehem. First becasue it is fact and second to trigger assocaiations between Jesus birth and Moses birth (see details in sermon)

    I came across this excerpt from a sermon from the Early Church Father St. Quod-vult-deus (Sermo 2 de Symbolo: PL 40, 655) “A tiny child is born, who is a great king. Wise men are led to him from afar. They come to adore one who lies in a manger and yet reigns in heaven and on earth. When ...read more

    Every one called to minister the word of God must first of all take heed unto himself. It is when your life is according to the will of God that your ministry can be approved of God.

    American History has become so distorted that children in Public Schools no longer have any understanding of the who the Pilgrims were,why they came to America, and the truth abot the first Thanksgiving.

    THANKSGIVING: THE STORY THE NEW TEXTBOOKS REFUSE TO TELL MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite times of the year.

    The story of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion did not end on Friday. It did not end in death. Because it was early on Sunday morning – the very first day of the week – Jesus rose from the dead.

    The story of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion did not end on Friday. It did not end in death. Because it was early on Sunday morning – the very first day of the week – Jesus rose from the dead.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,282 views

    In the midst of the Christmas rush, Christ is oftentimes left out as we forget that it is His birthday we are celebrating. The precise meaning of that first Christmas is clear: God came to earth in human form.

    Let Us Go to Bethlehem and Find the Christ of Christmas Lk 2:1-14 More than 2000 years ago there was a Man born contrary to the laws of life. This Man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity.... Only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived, that was during His ...read more

    The first horseman could not be Christ, because when Christ brings peace to this earth, it is going to be permanent. This is a short-lived peace. The rider on the red horse takes all peace from the earth.

    Remembering, Reconnecting, And Rejoicing: Taking Charge Of Our Own Grief Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 26, 2009
     | 5,665 views

    We take charge of reducing our grief when we first trust ourselves, then trust others in redemptive relationships, and ultimately trust God, who raised Christ from the dead.

    Granger Westberg, in his little book, Good Grief, says that when you have something worth grieving about, then go ahead and grieve, but grieve in a healthy way. Westberg agrees that the Bible says, "Do not grieve as those do who have no hope", but that does not mean we do not grieve. When you have ...read more

    Fishing For People For The Kingdom

     | 3,979 views

    This incident probably reminded the disciples of the time 3 years earlier when Jesus asked them to cast their nets again. That was the time when he first called them to be fishers of men.

    The disciples have seen the resurrected Jesus, alive and well. He appeared to them on the evening of Resurrection Sunday (20:19) – Easter Day. On that occasion He commissioned them – He authorised them to go – saying, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (20:21); and he then appeared to ...read more

    Palm Sunday: As we contemplate the joyous reception that Jesus got as He entered Jerusalem, our thoughts go to the reason that He entered in the first place - to save us by dying on the Cross.

    In the old days – days long before Jesus was born, God’s people annually observed a festival known as the Feast of Tabernacles. This was a feast of great joy. It was a time of celebration. It lasted seven days. Part of what happened during this feast is that the people marched around the Altar ...read more

    Remember this, the average observer on the evening of the first Christmas, might not have seen Mary and Joseph as particularly blessed. There may have been moments that they doubted it themselves. And yet, they were rich...

    Let the poor say, "I am rich" Luke 2:1-7 Dawn and I went to Pennsbury Manor recently. This is the home of William Penn. Oddly enough, the place is almost completely a recreation. Nothing about the grounds or buildings is original. The house is not the house he and his family lived in. It is a ...read more
