The Christmas Spirit

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 5, 2021

This Sunday we'll be looking into the real Spirit of Christmas and how God wants to overshadow us with Him to meet our greatest need, to solve our most insolvable problem, and to bring forth a victory in our lives that in our own strength we’ve been unable to achieve.

The Christmas Spirit Around Christmas time, there are a rash of Christmas special, but nothing replaces, for me, are the classics like “Miracle on 34th Street,” or “It’s A Wonderful Life.” But the one most people are familiar with is from the Novel by Charles Dickens entitled “A Christmas ...read more

What In Tarnation Is The Incarnation?

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on Dec 6, 2021

Like a Christmas tree, once a year, we pull out a theological word-incarnation, the significance of which continues to ripple through time and is the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place.

Changed By The Spirit Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Darian Catron on Dec 15, 2021

For Ebeneezer Scrooge to change his ways, he had to be visited by three spirits. He had to be shown the ugliest and selfishness of his heart. It’s a story about transformation. That’s what sums up the Christmas Story. That’s what sums up the reason for God sending us His Son.

INTRODUCTION: Christmas time! My favorite time of year. One of my favorite Christmas stories is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. It’s a story about a greedy, grumpy old man named Scrooge who hated Christmas and everything about it. Scrooge lived for his money, but his money brought him ...read more

The Prophecy Of Our Messiah Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Dec 18, 2021

R.C. Sproul once said, “What we celebrate is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself.” (Critical concept to remember – not just a birthday celebration!) Today, it is my prayer that we would be focused on this truth and that we’d see this story in a fresh light!

Introduction - “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival" -- The focus of this season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ -- His birth is his First Advent, his first coming, to a world in great need -- It also reflects on the ...read more

Mary, Did You Know? Series
