    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

    The rework of the Easter 2020 message, which was not delivered. Jesus was God in the darkness as He hung on the cross, and He is God in the darkness of these evil days.

    “From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, ‘This man is calling ...read more

    This is the call to every believer - to awake out of sleep and shake the slumber off and reach out your hand to pull someone to safety. The world is lost in darkness but we the church must not be asleep in the light.

    You deserve a break today is the familiar slogan of Macdonald’s. It has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it! It has a certain allure that catches our attention. I do deserve a break today. With the pressures of our school, work and family, with our hectic busy schedules sometimes we feel like “Yes ...read more

     | 991 views

    This is the third in a series, based on the Series Kit offered by Sermon Central. I have used the graphics, media, and sermon titles, adding my own content and application.

    Today: There is no room for darkness in the life of a Christian. Spiritually speaking, you cannot expect God's blessing in your life, you cannot expect to grow closer to Jesus if you are feeding on the junk of the world. "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be ...read more

    We live in a world that is largely dominated by self interest. All around town, up and down, we see self interest at work. What can I get? What can I gain? We gotta make money.

    God wants us to live in the light, not in darkness.

    Some animals especially those in the ocean floor live in darkness. Some of them even do not have eyes since they live in darkness. Today we are going to talk about living in light. When we go outside in the sun and come back to shade, it takes some time for our eyes to get adjusted to the shade. ...read more

    Jesus is the gift of illumination that sheds light in a dark world.

    Paul was plunged into darkness and given sight when Ananias placed hands upon him. Every Christian has the ability to bring people out darkness... but how do we do it?

    OPEN: A mother was busy making supper in the kitchen, and needing a can of tomato soup, she asked her 5 year old son to go into the pantry and get one for her. But the light in the pantry was out and he didn’t really want to go in there. "It’s dark in there and I’m scared" he said. She asked again ...read more

    Being Light Series

    The Beatitudes teach the qualities that God works in the character of Christ's disciples. Then in Matthew 5:13-16 the emphasis turns to the influence Christians are to have in the world around them. The point of our text is that we let our light shine.

    Intro Immediately following the Beatitudes, Jesus uses two metaphors to declare the task given to his followers in the world. Those two metaphors are salt and light. We have examined the first one. Now we want to learn from the second metaphor, light. Our text today is Matt 5:14-16: "You are ...read more

    A light was going to illuminate those living in darkness, in the land Naphatli and Zebulun. Why did God only mention those two fairly insignificant tribes in this prophecy? And what was this light to accomplish in our our lives?

    OPEN: How many of you have ever been in a cave? How many of you have ever been to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky?
