    The Christmas Story

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Dec 12, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 17,092 views

    This telling of the birth of Christ is a mixture of narrative and historical facts. My prayer is that it blesses you.

    Many of us know the “Christmas Story” oh so well. And no, I’m talking about the one with the “Red rider BB gun”. That “Christmas Story” is very humorous and it’s a lot of fun to watch. But there was nothing humorous about what happened in Bethlehem and the neighboring villages as a result of the ...read more

    Even wise men can do dumb things. Why did these wise men ever stop in their journey and ask wicked King Herod for advice?

    “The dumbest thing that a Wise Man can do!” Even wise men can do dumb things. Why did these wise men ever stop in their journey and ask wicked King Herod for advice? Before we answer that question, let me begin with this statement: They were wise. They were wise because… 1. They believed in ...read more

     | 2,733 views

    Just as the action of Herod and of abortionists shows the divorce of economics and ethics, so we must reintegrate ethics into economic activity, if we are to reclaim society for Christ

    December 28, 2009 Feast of the Holy Innocents Caritas in Veritate The timeliness of the Pope’s encyclical, Charity in Truth, and its match to our Monday Scriptures is truly remarkable.

    Old Herod was not even a Jew, but he sometimes paid attention to Torah, since he was “king of the Jews,” He even thought of himself as the true Messiah.

    Word Made Flesh March 25, 2025 This day, this most critical of solemnities, was supposed to take place in a castle or palace, or some really important place in Israel.

    The Threatening Baby

     | 5,148 views

    Christmas Eve service, 2003. Herod wanted to be in control and lost the opportunity to know Jesus personally. Do we want to be in control so much that we can’t submit to Christ?

    Herod didn’t know who he was. The King of Judea, the Great Herod, had no clue as to who this little baby boy was. Herod thought this baby was a threat. Matthew’s Gospel says that when Herod heard about the Baby Jesus from the Wise Men, he was greatly distressed. Greatly distressed? That is ...read more

    This sermon looks at the motives of four different Christmas characters of why they came to Christ and what they went away with once they left. The characters are the shepherds, the soldiers, King Herod and the Magi.
