    The coming of the Messiah was the “hope” of the Israelite people for thousands of years. John the Baptist’s father Zechariah described 5 facets of their hope that was fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ. Christmas brings home these five wonderful hope

    A reading I did for our Christmas program

    He was given a name, that was greater and grander than any other names in the world. He was given a name that is deeper than depth, higher than height, and wider than width. He was given a name that put activity to the legs of a lame man at Bethesda He was given a name that brought sight to a ...read more

    The excitement of Christmas is still a wonderful thing today. I would like to express some things we should reflect upon this time of the year.

    The Glamour of Christmas Luke 2:1-20 I remember growing up as a young child the excitement surrounding Christmas Day. There was flashing of lights all over the city, the erecting and decorating of trees and the anticipation of the receiving of gifts. Today these things surrounds perhaps the ...read more

    Declaring that Christ the Lord has come, the angels did it. Now we are to declare the good news that is for all the people.

    Last year I spoke about the passage in Luke’s gospel where the shepherds are out in the fields doing the thing shepherds do best, out living in the fields looking after the sheep as they did in the day. When something strange happened and beyond all of their imaging happened, remember these ...read more

    To many of the people it seemed that even God had turned His back upon them. But Isaiah's faith & hope was not dimmed or shaken. God spoke through him, & in the 9th chapter he speaks about the coming Messiah.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK INTRO. There are so many beautiful Christmas hymns. But for some reason the words & music of a Christmas hymn that is not too well known, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the terrible days of the Civil War, seem to touch me the ...read more

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,308 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

    CHRISTMAS IN ISAIAH. 1. Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23. “Behold the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, ‘with us the God’.” There are those in the church today - in its hierarchy, and teaching in its seminaries - who want us to think that ...read more

    The Hope Of Christmas

     | 21,618 views

    Man’s hope is usually built on what we expect, want, or desire to happen. But the Bible never allows the Child of God to build our hope on the likes of Man, but we are allowed to build our hope on the immutability of God Himself.

    THE HOPE OF CHRISTMAS Isaiah 9:6, 7 Isaiah 9:6,7 is a prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. At the time Isaiah prophesied these words only darkness, gloom, and despair appeared to lay in store for the Nation of Israel. Darkness as black as night prevailed upon the land through the sin of ...read more
