Sermons on Incarnate God:

Christmas Eve

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Jan 4, 2010

A Christmas Eve message that uses the childhood account of Steve Hugo to demonstrate why the incarnation is meaningless apart from the rest of Jesus’ life.

Tonight, I’d like to share an autobiographical account written by a man named Steve Hugo about his childhood and his next door neighbor. For as far back as I can remember, I always treated Old Man Jones, my neighbor, in the worst ways. Each April 1st, I had the "burning paper bag with dog poop in ...read more

Never Mind, Eat Some Food!

Contributed by Simon Rundell on Jul 23, 2001

The docetist heresy, the reality of Christ’s incarnation, and his setting of priorities: his father’s will above his earthly, physical needs.

Alpha Male

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 27, 2000

The Jesus of the Incarnation provides us with a more authentic leadership than "alpha males" in the wild or in politics, for in His differences He is Alpha and Omega.

Some of us learned a new term during the late and unlamented presidential campaign. Campaign observers, drawing on something learned from studies of animals in the wild, told us that one of the candidates was trying to learn to behave as an Alpha Male. An Alpha Male. What does that mean? In the ...read more

From Shepherd to King - Week 11 November 21, 2010 Last week, I spoke about distortions, then on Tuesday I received this from my mother in law.

"congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021

God continues to look for women and men like Mary and Joseph. People who will pursue obedience, whatever the cost. People who will trust God – even though the outcome seems unsure. God continues to raise up people for His purposes.

When I first proposed doing this, I know that it struck a lot of you … well, probably all of you … as something odd … out of the ordinary. When it came time, you weren’t sure what to do. Do we put up our traditional Christmas decorations? And, again, I’m sure that you found my answer a bit odd … ...read more

The Two Adams

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 29, 2009

God’s Loving Kindness

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 8, 2022

Approaching this Mother’s Day message, two distinct things came to mind. The first was the lovingkindness of God, and the second was the story of Hagar. Therefore, what we will be looking at is then Hagar and the lovingkindness of God.

The Greatest Gift, The Gift Of Himself.

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Dec 21, 2002

This sermon takes a look at what is so significant about the incarnation of God. The significance I point out is that it reveals who God is and what He is like, then I focus on the approachability of God and how He experienced what we experience.

This past week we exchanged gifts amongst our own family and to tell you the truth we just couldn’t wait to see the look on our little girl‘s faces. Denise had spent almost 4 months tracking down every type of care bear in existence for our youngest girl Carrie, and with all that hard work ...read more

Hope Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 27, 2021

Christmas is a time to reflect upon the height and depth and breath of God’s love and the lengths that He will go to to show us His love. Christmas is a time to remember that God doesn’t demand that we love Him but gives us the choice to love Him.

In the beginning was … nothing? A “formless void” (Genesis 1:1)? Yet the Bible says a wind (the breath of God) swept over the surface of the "water" (Genesis 1:2) so there something there ... maybe everything there … the particles ... all the molecules, all of the “substance” of the ...read more

The Wrath Of God Series

Contributed by Jeff Mims on Feb 14, 2002

Some people cannot reconcile God’s judgment and wrath with the Christian gospel of love, mercy, and grace. Nevertheless, Scripture makes clear that justice, wrath, and judgment are as much divine attributes as are love mercy, and grace.

The Spirit Of Christmas

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on Dec 9, 2021

The “spirit of Christmas” is a phrase we’ve all heard referenced but how exactly do you define it? Is it possible or just idealistic to have the Christmas spirit throughout the year?
