    An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

    A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more

    Waiting For The Messiah

    This season of Advent is also a season of busyness. There are so many gifts to buy, parties to attend and events to plan for. We must remember the real reason for the season. We must keep our eyes and minds focused on God.

    We are deep in the Advent season-a season of expectation and preparation. Many of us are looking forward to Christmas-a time of celebrating with family and friends. It is a time when we remember the greatest miracle of all-the coming of Jesus. Before Jesus was born, there was a great sense of ...read more

     | 8,335 views

    Zechariah was a faithful servant for the Lord, but doubted God when an angel appeared to Him with great news. When God's promise was fulfilled, his first response was to PRAISE because of who God is. Will we do the same during this Christmas season?

    Christmas News: The Angels Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 8, 2014
     | 3,069 views

    We need to be seized once more by heavenly realities – just as Zechariah was. We need to experience something like a shock to our smug certainties that whittle God down to a manageable size and leave us underwhelmed by the mysteries of eternity.

    Angels have fallen on hard times these days. Hardly anyone thinks about them anymore…except at Christmas, of course. But even at that, people don’t much believe in them. Although…I knew a woman – a member of this church at one time: She told me that she had actually seen an ...read more

    Why Is There Often So Little Joy Among Christians?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 12, 2014
     | 2,569 views

    A look at our frequent lack of joy and how more clearly understanding what God has done for us can remedy that.

    A QUESTION: Why is there often so little joy among Christians? - Luke 1:14. - This verse highlights the joy that John will bring: “a joy,” “delight,” “rejoice.” - Is that atypical? Is joy supposed to be a standard part of the Christian life? - I believe that ...read more

    A look at the prpphecy that John will be "great in the sight of the Lord" and the other gospel passages where we're told how we can be great in the sight of the Lord.

    A PROPHECY: John will be “great in the sight of the Lord.” - Luke 1:15. - This is part of the prophecy given to Zechariah about the child they would have. - What an incredible thought: he will be “great in the sight of the Lord”! Of all the things you could hope for your ...read more

     | 4,614 views

    We handle fear by affirming God is in control, with prayer, and obedience!

    In our text today, there are 3 main questions we will ask: 1. Do things happen by chance? 2. Is it alright to have fears? 3. Can we question God? Many of us go through life either having these questions unanswered or we don’t think about the importance of the answers to these questions. Knowing the ...read more
