The Complexity Of Christmas

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

We often see the first Christmas though rose colored glasses tinted by centuries of tradition. But the plain facts are that Mary and Joseph had a very difficult time with all the events surrounding that first Christmas.

Approaching the Christmas season in 1972, Fred Putman decided to have a evening in front of a cozy fire. He used two boxes of matches, one pint of started fluid, and the Sunday addition of the New York Times, and still could not get the fireplace burning. Bent on romance by fire-light, he decided ...read more

The Crucible== Genuine?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 27, 2024

Today we seem to expect exemption from suffering and test. There is a false teaching that if we are really close to God we will not be tested. Ask Abraham, Job, David, Joseph and Jesus about seasons of testing?

CRUCIBLE == GENUINE! HOT TRIALS! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) We go through seasons of tests. Sometimes the trials are so hot we almost seem hopeless. HANG ON!

Facing Opposition And Overcoming

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 16, 2023

Joseph faced opposition but, as a result, saved his family. David faced opposition from his brother but went ahead and killed Goliath. Nehemiah faced opposition, never lost confidence, and completed the building in record time. We no less will succeed, our confidence in our Lord.

In Genesis 37 we read about Joseph the second youngest of twelve brothers born to Jacob, He was only seventeen years old. His father loved him more than his other sons. One day he made a coat of many colours for Joseph. His brothers hated him and did not speak very kindly to him. Joseph then has ...read more

Simeon's Song Series

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Dec 23, 2014

As Mary & Joseph bring Jesus to the Temple, it provides an opportunity for the aged priest Simeon to further reveal the significance of the baby Jesus--the fulfillment of God's promises & our hopes & dreams, the source of rest & peace for our souls.

As you all know, we have spent weeks building up to Christmas and our celebration of Christ’s birth. And such anticipation is appropriate, it takes much preparation to welcome a new baby…if there’s anyone who knows that right now, it’s me! But I do hope that our Advent time ...read more

Refuting The Entitled Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

From Bitter To Better

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 6, 2021

Trials and troubles, far from being harmful to you, cause us to grow. Under Pharaoh's oppression Israel grew dramatically. Joseph too faced the dilemma of whether to become bitter at his brothers, or better. He saw the hand of God & chose the latter.

FROM BITTER TO BETTER Exodus 1:11-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Some things never change! 1. A supposed ancient manuscript was found that told extra details of what happened when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. 2. When Adam bit the fruit he felt great ...read more

Jesus And His Family Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 28, 2023

Bible is silent about the description of the family of Jesus. However, there are a few references to Joseph, Mary, and her children to learn a few things about the family of Jesus. Jesus was pictured as a young man walking to the Jordan for Baptism and nothing else is known to us.

Christmas 2010: The Glass Half Full Or The Glass Half Empty Series

Contributed by Steve Fletcher on Dec 15, 2010

We often come to Christmas time overwhelmed, stretched, strained and spiritually dried out. Spiritualy, the glass is half empty. The purpose of this sermon is to discover from the life of Mary and Joseph how can we get more ‘water’ in the glass and find

Introduction Christmas is only 6 days away. At this time of year, do you feel like the cup half full or half empty? My guess is that the cup is half empty – maybe getting more and more empty.

The Universal Tool Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

You are only truly one with Jesus when you eat with Him. You are only truly one with anyone by means of eating with them. It was by means of food and eating that Joseph worked out reconciliation with his brothers.

Life revolves around eating, for where there is no eating there is no life. Our vacation made us all the more aware of this obvious truth, for everyday we had to make decisions about where we would eat. In Fort Lauderdale where we stayed there is a place to eat every few feet, and along the ...read more

Simeon: A Lesson In Waiting & Obedience

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Jan 1, 2024

Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more

Now What?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 11, 2019

Life has a tendency to dash our dreams and imprison our hopes. We can face different types of traps: Metal bars? Mental bars? Joseph had a dream? Now what? The well? Slave market? Auction? Potiphar? Prison? Forgotten? Nothing could stop God's plan.

NOW WHAT? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com WE HAD A WONDERFUL FAMILY IN THIS AREA.

The Magi Come To Worship

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Dec 18, 2006

What an absurd scene it would have been to see this band of foreign royalty showing up on the doorstep of Joseph and Mary. There are some important lessons to learn from these men who came in faith to see the King...

How many of you know who was born January 8th, 1935? It was someone who influenced much change, but his coming was not met with applause and acclaim. He was born to a poor family in Tupelo, Mississippi and was unnoticed for his childhood years. It wasn’t until after he was 18 that he gained any ...read more
