He was called to prophetic ministry in the year that king Uzziah died, approximately 742 BC, and then continued through the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah until 686 BC, approximately 56 ...read more

    This is a Christmas message dealing with the destructive power of anger. It can ruin what God wants to do in our lives during the holidays if we do not control it.

    Anger—It Wants You For Christmas GNLCC 12/21/2003 Genesis 4:1-12 Matthew 2:1-12 Text Matthew 2:16-18 We are now in the middle of the Christmas season. We are told "tis the season to be jolly" and "it will be a time of peace and good will to all." But if we would actually look into ...read more

    Is There No Room For Christ At Christmas?

    Contributed by Ted Sutherland on Dec 13, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,921 views

    Christ has been banned from government, kicked out of school, blacked out of the media, but to be replaced by an “X” on His own holiday does not seem appropriate.

    Christ has been banned from government, kicked out of school, blacked out of the media, but to be replaced by an “X” on His own holiday does not seem appropriate. Centuries ago, “X” was placed before “mas”, “X” being symbolic of the Greek letter “CHRI” which is the initial for Christos in the ...read more

    A Christmas sermon that looks at the meaning of Christmas and the deeper implication of the holiday by seeing how we can learn from the child, learn as a child, and witness about the child.

    I Predict You’re Going To Die Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 9, 2011
    based on 67 ratings
     | 36,122 views

    God doesn’t want us to know WHEN we’re going to die, but He stresses the fact that one day we shall (if Jesus doesn’t return first). Why does God want us to face the reality of our own mortality? Why stress that we will all die?

    OPEN: A woman once told of driving with her two young boys to a funeral. She said: “I tried to prepare them by talking about burial and what we believe happens after death. The boys behaved well during the service. But at the gravesite, I discovered my explanations weren’t as thorough as I’d ...read more

    Be A Blessing (At Christmas)

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,813 views

    The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to take a walk or enjoy the fresh air. Each holiday reminds us of lost loved ones... of blessings that seem to have become curses... that haunt instead of hope.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for most, but for some it ends up being a sad and stressful season. Many are without friends, family, or money searching for joy. Long nights and shorter days seem to loom over spirits like a dark blanket. The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to ...read more

    Give Back Christmas

     | 3,620 views

    Our celebrations of Christmas should be an extension of our celebration of Christ every other day of the year. If we give special attention to his birth and use the focus of the world on this adopted holiday to show and share the love of Christ and the t

    Give Back Christmas This message may strike some as controversial and others as stating the obvious. I have to confess that for me, Christmas, as we know it today, has largely become something to survive, not celebrate. And before you judge me too severely, I would suggest I may be in good ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 30, 2025
     | 277 views

    Depression and mental battles are not foreign to Scripture or to God. He cares, He listens, and He heals. The Church must be a place of restoration, where the emotionally broken are embraced and helped, not judged.
